As Much As We All Joke About Being Tired Of The "slow Burn" And Wanting Fitpac To Just Fucking Kiss Already

as much as we all joke about being tired of the "slow burn" and wanting fitpac to just fucking kiss already i still think it's pretty beautiful that these two men who have both come from backgrounds where they were never really afforded enough safety or trust to take things slowly or gently are able to find that in each other.

Like, Fit spent a decade on 2b2t where you can't trust anyone or even be friendly with them for more than a few minutes, there's no room in a place like that for a relationship to develop naturally. The most you get is a maybe a quick adrenaline-fueled hookup once in awhile, no one is giving you roses or inviting you on adventuring dates or falling asleep with their head on your shoulder when things get too loud.

And Pac grew up having to be the one constantly looking out for himself and Mike, did all these elaborate heists that had to be fast paced and secretive and the only person he could ever really truly trust was his partner in crime. I doubt he's ever had someone blushing and stuttering over him, let alone looking out for his safety and promising to protect him as if he was actually worth the effort. The closest he's probably gotten to someone treating him like he's precious was Cell and that..... yeah.

Its just. they're both used to things being fast paced and violent and distrustful you know? so it's really sweet that they trust each other and care about each other enough to take "baby steps" and flirt awkwardly and go on silly little dates and leave things ambiguous and unlabeled even if literally everyone knows what they are, the amount of unwavering faith that takes for both of them is HUGE and i think that's my favorite thing about their relationship
