YES GOD IM FINALLY HOME SO I CAN ANSWER THIS get ready for some yap BECAUSE IM GONNA 😼😼
Jude with Hiro: im gonna start with these two because theyre besties in my mind CAUSE THEYRE ALMOST THE SAME PERSON 😭 not all similar people get along but i feel like they have all the friend chemistry possible, i think their friendship would base on mostly comfortable silences, like yk the silent hangouts where you are usually silent and doing your own stuff but with another person there because you want to do it with them and feel really comfortable??? THAT. no idea how they'd meet though it has to be a super coincidence or else no way those two are interacting with eachother 😞
Jude with Sylvan: i gotta say Jude has no fashion sense (untill step 3 at least) but he'd ADORE Sylvans style, i dont think he'd make any move to talk or be friends with her but he'd look for her first thing everyday at school to see what that stylish kid wore today, like a small routine that really cheers him up. he would try to be swift with it but im not sure if Sylvan would still notice or not. they also have a good friendship potential though just not for step one?? 🤔
Jude with Tanlin: im sad to say i dont think they'd interact and wouldn't be friends even if they do ☹️ even though they're both a little distant and silent at first Jude reads a lot into peoples actions and he'd mistake Tantans distant and untrusting approach as dislike, so he'd stay away from her since he thinks he annoys her. no idea for other steps though it can change!!
Fio with Hiro: mostly the yapper x listener and calm x grumpy duo stuff, i think they'd be good friends and balance eachother really well!!! Fio would open up quickly with him even though he's mostly quiet cause she wouldnt think he'd judge her and protect him at any cost if any bully comes his way
Fio with Sylvan: ANOTHER BESTIES POTENTIAL‼️ no logic behind this it just has that feeling their personalities go well together, and the fast opening up goes for Sylvan too since she also gives unjudging, safe person vibes to me. i think she'd enjoy messing with Fio's hair (which Fio would be really happy about) ! ALSO i forgot to mention Fio is a huge insect nerd and i remember Sylvan being afraid of bugs so she'd help a lot with that and they would both benefit from it !!! like Sylvan could call for Fio whenever she sees a bug to take it somewhere else while Fio happily gets to examine it (without any harm ofc)
Fio with Tantan: not sure if they'd be friends but Fio would interact with her a lot because she'd notice her discomfort at times and swat all possible bullies and try to protect her from anything that disturbs her like her life depends on it 😭 not even trying to be friends just getting her straight to the list of her protected people AND IM NOT SURE IF ITS GOOD EITHER because while she'd get all the kids with bad intentions away SHE MIGHT GET THE GOOD ONES TOO SINCE TANTAN LOOKS AWKWARD WHILE TALKING WITH THEM SO SHE'D THINK SHE'S DISTURBED AND GO "oh they're annoying that pretty blonde girl again?? NOT ON MY WATCH." LMAO
i actually did yap much more than i intended IM REALLY SORRY IF ANY OF THEM ARE MISCHARACTERIZED i basically agreed on everything on the previous comment about Hiro and Sylvans relationships with my mcs but i just wanted to write my take too so 🤷♀️
