What was the moment that made them think “Oh, she/he is the one”?
"One day I was conflicted about my feelings. It bothered me a lot. I finally got up the courage to tell someone about it. Of course, to ask her advice, I trusted her. She told me that if I could imagine who I could spend my time as a couple with, think of a future far away with them, only with them, that's when my heart said ‘they’re the one'. And the fact that first came to my mind was–"
"Maru."

"Maru."
"Leo-kun."
How do they show affection for each other?
If they are together, Maru will suddenly be at his side. Not necessarily very close, just making sure she is there and Leo knows it. Likewise with Leo, but he would be much more impulsive to touch Maru such as leaning on her, hugging her, etc.
Despite being forgetful people, they remember small things that make them comfortable with each other or anything that makes them remember each other like stroking their heads, buying things they like, making songs, drawing, sending photos or stamps without context, etc. Something that doesn't necessarily force them to be someone else when conveying their affection.
What are the small things that Maru does with Leo in mind? Whether the person is present or not.
Almost similar to 2
What do they do whenever they miss each other?
They like to make spam in their chatroom, phone calls or video calls, sleep calls, etc (for calls mostly on days off). There is no necessary need for them to talk to each other, just being there. They can talk about some random things or just keep silent but still can hear each other's voices over the phone.
The time difference makes them exchanging with "Good morning" and "Good night" at the same time.
What usually worries them about the other? (For example, Leo likes to worry about Maru because of what, and vice versa.)
Maru tends to worry when Leo is suddenly quiet a lot. And vice versa, Leo tends to worry if he finds Maru not taking care of her health, pushing herself.
What do they usually talk about and what do they do whenever they are together?
There are so many that I don't even know what they're going to talk about, starting from things that are interesting to both of them, that make them excited and curious about, or suddenly without notice, they do deep talk. How the two of them can jump topics but still stay connected, it baffles and amazes me at the same time honestly.
What do they do when they are at home? (Leo’s or Maru’s apartment or their house o u o)
All sorts of things. but if they're in the mood to spend time together, one of them can come over and snuggle or just sit near. Even when they're in their respective studios (their house has two different studios), they can come over to visit (Leo's studio has a couch and Maru's studio has a kotatsu). They also sometimes like to watch movies, play board games, cook together, etc.
What do you like the most about their dynamic?
Their understanding. I love how these two quickly adapted to each other's love language, how they understand that they love and are loved. And how they basically share the same mindset. They're quick to know what's on each other's mind and talk about it if it's bothering them (most of the time). They feel as if it's hard to figure each other’s minds out but in reality, it's quite the opposite.
They basically share the same core just act in a different way (opposite)
What makes them connect with each other? Like what makes them click?
Almost the same as 6 and 8, of course, with both having gotten used to each other's presence. They don't like to control each other too much. But not the way their relationship works. They don't take control of their freedom, instead, they keep each other company.
Sometimes a little complaining, but they stay by each other's side
What is their favorite kissing position?
Uhm… the position when Leo pins her down, or when Leo takes Maru in his arms and sits her down somewhere so that their faces meet at the same height, or when they sit facing each other with Maru on his lap, or when Maru leans into Leo who is lying relaxed. (bye all)
When cuddling, who is the big spoon and who is the little spoon?
Balanced and it can be switched.
Favorite physical affection? (both sides okay, masing-masing sukanya apa)
Hugs, kisses on the forehead and nose, as Leo stroked Maru's head, Maru caressed Leo's cheek. Leo loves kissing Maru on her lips, neck, and shoulders.
For Maru, she prefers to hug from behind or hug him and bury her face in his chest. She likes to rub her face against his body, sometimes while sniffing his fragrance.
You know, I kinda have an impression that Maru tends to shy away when it comes to physical touch. If this is true, what is Leo going to do about that? How does he convince her so that she will be less shy about it?
Leo usually likes to lean on Maru and slowly hug her tightly, gazing directly into her eyes for a little while, convincing her that he wants to convey affection through touch. Likewise, when he wants to kiss Maru, he will give her a quick kiss but let himself still be so close that they can feel each other's breath to convince Maru for the actual kiss. (bye all)
What happens when they feel touch-starved? What is Leo/Maru going to do about it?
Leo tends to straight away cuddle Maru and bury his face in her chest with no words. Or when he buries his face in her neck instead, he will do so while kissing and whiffing the fragrance she applies there.
Maru usually held herself back by leaning against Leo's shoulder or back. If she is too embarrassed to let Leo see her face, she will bury her face in his chest, or if they are sitting together, she will hide her face in Leo's lap.
How do they ask for a kiss?
For Leo, as in point 13. For Maru, she will bring her face closer to him by leaning in, while also stealing glances at his lips. If she's already too embarrassed, she will bury her face into Leo's shoulder and he understands that. (ksdhjfkjs bye)
