Jesse/Skitts, and/or Race and Jack for the OTP questions

1: Who spends almost all their money on the other?

It’s not like either of these couples have much money to spare–putting food on the table is sometimes hard enough :p

2: Who sleeps in the other’s lap?

Jesse sleeps on Skitts ALL THE TIME, and Jack loves falling asleep with his head on Race’s lap, but sometimes when he won’t quit reading his dime novels Race curls up on him instead.

3: Who walks around the house half-naked and who yells at them to put on some clothes?

JESSE WALKS AROUND HALF-NAKED (or worse) ALMOST 24/7 AND IT’S SKITTS’ WORST FEAR THAT ONE DAY TUMBLER WILL SHOW UP UNANNOUNCED AND BE SCARRED FOR LIFE

Jack occasionally walks around shirtless, especially when he gets distracted in the middle of getting ready, but Race does it as an actual Choice…not that Jack would complain.

4: Which one tells the other not to stay up all night and which one stays up all night anyway?

Skitts is always nagging Jesse to go to bed.

When Race’s telling Jack not to stay up, it’s because he’s trying to finish all of his latest Western, but when Jack’s telling her not to stay up, it’s because she’s worrying about something (like cooking ten thousand dishes for her family gathering)

5: Which one tries to make food for the other but burns it all by accident and which one tells them that it’s okay and makes them both cookies?

Jesse and Skitts are both decent cooks–Skitts makes the basics and bartends, and Jesse makes gourmet Mexican food.

But JACK.  The poor kid TRIES…but then he gets banned from the kitchen forever.

6: Which one reads OTP prompts and says “Oh that’s us!” and which one goes “Eh, not really”?

Jesse would read them to Skitts, who rolls his eyes.

Jack would be more likely to read them–anything to get in a dime novel–but he’s not super into reading about romance, in general.

7: Which one constantly wears the other’s clothes?

Jesse wears Skitts’ shirts all the time, and Race will occasionally steal a sweatshirt or flannel from Jack (which ends up looking more like a dress on her, but it’s comfortable).

8: Which one spends all day running errands and which one says “You remembered [thing], right?”

Skitts would do the errands because he’s more organized, and Jesse would come up with these ridiculous requests.

I could see either Jack or Race going on errand runs–Race in the mornings and Jack after work–and Race doesn’t realize that she has to write everything down if she wants Jack to remember it, while Jack doesn’t remember whether or not he even mentioned that they’re out of Coke and chips.

9: Which one drives the car and which one gives them directions?

Jesse and Skitts constantly argue about driving, but Skitts is the better navigator–Jesse wings it to the point of having to crawl along on fumes until they reach a gas station, every single trip.

Jack normally drives because a) it’s his truck and b) Race’s feet hardly reach the pedals, and Race gives him directions (which he sometimes ignores, and sometimes is justified, because she’d be an awful backseat driver).

10: Which one does the posing while the other one draws?

Race poses and Jack draws, definitely.  (I’m not sure if Jesse or Skitts draw at all.)

11: If they were about to rob a museum, which one does backflips through lasers and which one is strolling behind with a bag of chips?

Jesse would be making dramatic entrances and fighting guards and things while Skitts snuck through a back door behind a delivery man.

Jack would break in while eating the chips–robbery makes him hungry, all right?–and Race would use charm to distract the guards.

12: Which one of your OTP overdoes it on the alcohol and which one makes the other stop drinking?

Jesse drinks and Skitts cuts him off.

Both Jack and Race would have their moments of drinking too much, but they normally try to look out for each other.  (I feel like at least one of their children may have been born after they both drank too much one night, though.)

13: Which one likes to surprise the other with a lot of small random gifts?

Jesse and Jack.

14: Which one keeps accidentally using the other’s last name instead of their own?

Jesse and Skitts are more careful to keep their relationship somewhat hidden, but with all the drama surrounding Race’s family, Jack has used her name a few times.

15: Which one screams about the spider and which one brings the spider outside?

Skittery isn’t a huge fan of spiders.

Race would make Jack take it outside, but not because she’s afraid–it’s more because “I’M TRYING TO COOK FOR FORTY PEOPLE AND I DON’T HAVE TIME FOR BUGS IN THE PASTA, CARINO”

16: Which one gives the other their jacket?

Skitts and Jack.

17: Who keeps getting threatened by the other’s overprotective older sibling?

Jack probably does more warning Skittery about Jesse than threatening him–but the amount of threats and intimidation tactics that goes on between Jack, Race, and her family is absolutely ridiculous.

18: Who’s the first one to admit they have feelings for the other?

Jesse to Skitts, and Race to Jack, although Jack’s the first to tell her he loves her.

19: How good would your OTP be at parenting?

Skitts is already like some mixture of brother and dad to Tumbler, and Jesse loves the kid too, so they’d be all right.

Jack and Race would do more struggling because they’ve got a much more complicated situation–between the arranged marriage, neither being prepared to be parents, Race’s family, and Spot’s kid–but they’d make it work.  Race would be fiercely protective as a mom, and Jack looks out for everybody.

20: Which one types with perfect grammar and which one types using numbers as letters?

Skittery uses perfect grammar, and it drives him crazy that Jesse doesn’t.

Jack, on the other hand, can barely use technology, and are his texts autocorrected?  Is he drunk?  Is he even writing in English?  No one knows.

21: Who gets attacked by a bully and who protects them?

These two couples will defend each other until the day they die.

22: Who makes the bad puns and who makes a pained smile every time the other makes a pun?

Jesse and Race make the puns.  Skittery and Jack suffer because they love them.

23: Who comes home from work to see that the other one bought a puppy?

JESSE AND JACK WOULD BUY PUPPIES (Race should be glad that at least Jack’s isn’t a horse)

24: Which one gives the other a piggyback ride when they’re tired?

With fem!Jessie, Skitts would do the carrying, but I could see him finally letting Jesse carry him (as long as no one was looking.  The kid has a reputation to protect!) :p

Jack, on the other hand, will carry Race anywhere…and sometimes not even make a short joke.

25: Which one competes in some sort of activity and which one does the overzealous cheering?

The whole drag thing took a while for Skitts to get behind…but he’s sure as heck going to support Jesse when he competes.

Jack would be more likely than Race to compete in something, and Race would be screaming obscenities in Italian at his competition (but then, for the most part, just greet him with a relatively chaste kiss when things were over.)

26: Who takes a selfie when the other one falls asleep on their shoulder?

Jesse, which he then snapchats to everyone ever.

Jack, because he’s secretly sentimental.

27: Which one would give the other a makeover if they asked?

JESSE AND RACE WOULD DEFINITELY LEAP AT THE CHANCE (and I still stand by Race insisting that Jack start wearing more color).

28: Which one owns a pet that the other is absolutely terrified of?

Skitts isn’t a terribly confident rider at first, and Race is pretty convinced Nell will kill Jack one day, but they’re not terrified of horses.  If anyone had a truly terrifying pet, I feel like it’d be Jesse and Race.

29: Which one holds the umbrella over both of them when it rains?

I can’t really see Jesse or Skitts using an umbrella, and Jack wouldn’t either except that it’s the Nice Thing To Do when he’s out with Race (and he has to hold it so he won’t get stabbed in the eye).

30: If your OTP went on vacation, where would they go and what would they do? Who would take the pictures?

I REALLY WANT TO SEE JESS(I)E AND SKITTS ON A STEREOTYPICAL ISLAND VACATION OKAY?!?!?!

Jack’s choice would obviously be Santa Fe, and maybe Race would want to go back to Italy at some point, but it’s most likely that they’d just take the kids to Coney Island for the day, in which case the souvenir-shop man would take a picture of all of them.
