Ugh, anon, the beauty in just this tiny moment you’ve painted.
I LOVE how their immediate friendship imbued this domesticity in their dynamic from the very start. Along with that crackling chemistry and the banter, there was such a sense of taking care of the other. Juls cheering up Val on first meeting, Val picking up on Juls’s eyeing the burger stall, dragging Juls over, Juls sensing Val’s unease when she saw the flask. That was the first time they met! And it never stopped, that awareness of the other’s health and comfort.
I want alllll the domestic future Juliantina, anon. Do they host parties jointly now? Do they get invited together? Do they still enter arm in arm? Does Val still go breathless when she sees Juls all dressed up? (trick question; she does every time)
