I AM GOING TO YAP YAYYYY
STEP 1 MAEVE AND JUDE:
these ppl will NOT interact with each other. I mean I think Maeve would have a platonic crush on him (actually she does w everybody) but they’d be to shy to approach each other, I think they have the potential to be besties if someone else forces them to hang out like Qiu or smth, or they’re in a situation where they’re forced to interact. If they do interact Maeve would make things for Jude like poems or drawing or origami js whatever to show
STEP 2: I mean I think they’ll be good friends in step 2, I don’t think Maeve will make him have to act fake ya know? If they met earlier I think they have bestie potential where they can be themselves since Maeve also feels like they have to fake who they are to get people to like them, with accents and stuff. And she won’t have to fake her accent around him bc she fella as if he won’t judge her(This will happen in my universe u can’t stop me bc I think they’re friendship will be great but ik most likely will not happen 🥲)
STEP 3: I think if they are friends they’ll start hanging out less but they’ll keep in touch bc Maeve is looking for a manager and singing opportunities (hate the manager he’s a toxic red flag) but she slowly starts getting more recluse
STEP ONE HARUKI AND JUDE:
Jude gets adopted, whether he knows it or not his new father is Haruki Fujimoto. He’s going to introduce Jude to ppl if they more comfortable with it, and just be a fun guy to be around. He’ll be hyping Jude up aswell, personal hype man, ur welcome 😉
STEP 2: Will encourage Jude NOT to be a people pleaser and be himself, tries to explain that if ppl don’t like him for who he is than they’re aren’t worth it. Will encourage Jude to do dumb things bc why not.
STEP 3: Still will encourage Jude to do sumb things and pranks bc why not. ALSO will be his Cupid if he finds anyone of interest *wink wink* adapts to however Jude whenever he’s being energetic or silent bc but still will be ya know, him, his naturally dramatic self lol
MAEVE AND FIOR STEP 1:
Maeve would think Fío is so pretty and desperately wants to befriend them. If they do become friends Maeve will SHOWER her with gifts whenever Fío protects her from something, they’ll be shy ab it but she’s be very happy to give it to her and likes her reaction.
STEP 2: if they’re friends I think their relationship will be sweet and nice. But if they more not friends Maeve will be worried that Fio hates her bc she did smth and would try to apologies for smth she doesn’t know she did by leaving anonymous gifts on her desk or wtv (she always forgets the say who they’re from) Maeve can be silly with her trust me they got a goofy side if you’re close enough to her.
STEP 3: Again distances the self from their relationship bc evil toxic manager told them to >:( but I feel like they’ll still be close if they are friends, just chill dudes you know who can be themselves and silly w each other
STEP 1 HARUKI AND FIO:
Might not interact much with dip, he’ll be like ‘u should be GRATEFUL I’m giving u attention but fine be like that’ and hair flip and be on his merry way 😭 but when they do become friends they’ll be besties like they’ll collectively hold a singular braincell and he’l lie like ‘hmm she’s pretty chill I’ll allow her to bask in my presence’ and if they are friends he’ll constantly give her hair tips on how to get it ‘as luxurious as his’
STEP 2: if they’re friends he’ll feel like a special little prince bc why not, they’ll do dumb stuff together and will not have seconds thoughts ab it, he’s less narcissistic now but still knows his worth so now he doe sir more like a joke
STEP 3: I think pretty much the same as Step 2, besties til the end, will prob invite her on his streaming channel and convince her to play horror games or dti (he slays it dti) I think they’ll have playful banter aswell js a constant back and forth bc I love relationships like that
I YAPPED also ur idea is a great I should’ve down character sheets before asking the question so ill maybe ask it again in the future 😭 this was longer than I expected mb-
