Gingerbreadshipping!! :D (I <3 the ship name)

How they first met: They first met when Jasmine was on a trip to Kalos to visit a botany convention. At the time she was studying herbal medicine, so she was interested in learning more about plants there. She was quite overwhelmed by both the crowds and being in a foreign country. Cress was at the same convention to learn more about cooking ingredients (at this point he and his brothers were living in Kalos) and was also feeling a bit overwhelmed by the crowds, so when he saw Jasmine looking lost he suggested they team up so that the event was less intimidating for the both of them. They became quite good friends over that weekend and exchanged numbers when it was over and Jasmine had to return back to Johto.
Where their first date was: A few years after they first met, Jasmine came to further her study of medicine in Kalos for a few months, a decision in no small part influenced by her continued correspondence with Cress. The two, at this point, had had quite a bit of romantic tension in their messages and the last time they had met up when Cress visited Johto. However, this trip to Kalos by Jasmine was their first time going on a proper date. Chili and Cilan both made plans to be out of the apartment for the evening and Cress invited Jasmine over for a home cooked meal. It was very romantic and both had a really good time just talking to each other and enjoying some good food.
When they had their first kiss: They had their first kiss on the first date. Jasmine insisted on helping Cress clean up after the meal and as they did the dishes together, she realized how domestic the whole scene felt and just how right it felt as well. Without really thinking, she shuffled over to Cress and leaned against him, when he leaned back, she stood on her tiptoes and they kissed. 
Who cooks: Cress, obviously, since he’s the professional chef of the couple. He likes to experiment with flavors and techniques and often tries out new recipes on his family, which can lead to hit-or-miss meals sometimes. For the most part though, all his new dishes are well-received and Jasmine and their kids are always excited to see what Cress can come up with.
Who proposed: Cress proposed to Jasmine! The two had been dating for a while and Cress had moved to Johto to live with Jasmine about a year earlier. He felt like his life and hers were in the place where marriage seemed right. He had found a job at a restaurant in Olivine and had plans to open up his own place eventually and Jasmine had started a herbal medicine clinic on the side of being Gym Leader. The proposal was nothing public or showy; Cress made an extra nice meal for him and his girlfriend, then brought out dessert, a small orange sponge cake (Jasmine’s favorite) with ‘Will you marry me?’ written in icing across the top. Jasmine was so touched that she didn’t even want to eat the cake at first and spoil the message. After a bit of happy tears they did end up eating the cake, and to this day eating orange sponge cake makes Jasmine extra happy.
The dominate one: Cress. In public, both he and Jasmine seem quite mild-mannered and quiet, though while that’s fairly close to Jasmine’s true personality, behind closed doors, Cress can be very dominant and bold. Probably thanks to his past as a member of the Shadow Triad, he’s not afraid to take control and Jasmine quite likes that side of her husband, even if admitting so makes her blush.
Their favorite pastime together: One of their favorite family activities for the weekend or holidays is going to the beach. It doesn’t matter what season it is, they’ll go at least once a month. Cress enjoys swimming when the weather permits, otherwise he likes to explore tidepools and the like. Jasmine isn’t as much of a swimmer, but she enjoys relaxing by the water with a good book or watching her husband and kids play in the water. She also likes to walk along the beach and find shells, sea glass, and other pretty things washed up by the waves. She keeps them all in glass jars around the house and sometimes will craft with them. An amusing incident (or incidents as it happened more than once) is the time Cress found a Clauncher in a tidepool, very lost and far from home. Cress wanted to cook it, since Clauncher is a delicacy while Jasmine was horrified he would even think of doing such a thing and insisted they take in to her clinic until they could find a way to get back to its natural habitat. 
Who kissed who first: Jasmine kissed Cress!
Who is the flirt: Cress, though usually not in public. When in private, however, he loves to fluster Jasmine with flirty comments.
Who is the romantic: Both of them are about equally romantic, but in different ways. Cress’ idea of romance is usually food-related, while Jasmine prefers the type of thing found in her favorite romance-novels – rose petals everywhere, candles, hot tubs, etc. 
Who wakes up first: Old habits die hard and Cress is still a very early riser since it was drilled into him during his Plasma days. All the same, he has to get up early for work anyway, so he doesn’t mind all that much. Jasmine prefers to sleep in a little bit, though still gets up pretty early. Of course, their kids did not all inherit that ‘morning person’ trait, so when the triplets are at home Jasmine and Cress try to keep quiet in the mornings so as not to disturb them until it’s time for their wakeup call. 
Who comforts who the most: Jasmine is somewhat prone to anxiety, so Cress does his best to make sure she’s never too nervous about something and helps her calm down if she gets overwhelmed with nerves. However, Cress still has lasting issues from his old life in Team Plasma and before that, which can manifest in nightmares or panic attacks. Whenever he’s upset, Jasmine does her best to make sure he knows he’s safe and that she’s there for him, using the tips she learned specifically to make her husband feel most at ease and comfortable whenever his past comes back to haunt him. The two really do end up comforting each other quite often.
The cuddler: Somewhat related to the above answer, both Cress and Jasmine are quite the cuddlers. They enjoy physical contact with each other and it helps them feel calm. They’re not very publicly affectionate, but they will often hold hands or Jasmine will be on Cress’ arm when they’re out and about. At home, they are often found cuddling – Jasmine especially likes to sit in Cress’ lap so they can hold each other.
The big spoon: Cress is quite a bit taller than Jasmine, so he typically fills this role. Often, Jasmine will also sleep facing him, so that she can hold him as well.

Bryn: So no matter how shallow and self-absorbed you pretend to be-

Mindy: Excuse me, there’s no pretense here. I happen to be genuinely self-absorbed and deeply shallow.

Adelinda: Top reasons to get married?

Draco: Firmly saying “that’s my wife!” and knocking someone out in one punch.

Adelinda:

Draco: And love, I guess.

Kiele: It’s only a little trip. What can go wrong?

Primrose: Death? Injury? Vandalism? Crash? The car breaks down and leaves us stranded here forever?

Gina: Percy! Do you have a moment to-

Percy: I’m busy now, Gina.

Cyan: Perce, you got a call from Ronan.

Percy: [blushes] Ronan! Hi, how are you today?

Gina: Are you kidding me?

Eddie: I- I am NOT going to have sex with someone to get them to stop talking to me!

Draco: Really? You and I are VERY different.

How they first met: They first met when Whitney stopped by the Pokémon Daycare to pick up one of her Gym pokémon that had been staying there. Ethan was visiting his grandparents and was happy to strike up a conversation with the Gym Leader.
Where their first date was: Their first date was at the annual Tanabata festival celebrations in Goldenrod. Whitney had some official duties as Gym Leader, but that evening she invited Ethan to join her to walk around the stalls to check out the food and games. The two had a wonderful time enjoying each other’s company, and were holding hands by the end of their first date. Neither of them knew it, but each had wished for romance that year – it seems their wish came true!
When they had their first kiss: They had their first kiss on their third date, which was to a new café that Whitney wanted to check out, since she heard it had cute desserts. They got a strawberry shortcake to share and Ethan ended up getting some icing on his nose after taking a large bite. Rather than tell her boyfriend to wipe it off, Whitney simply leaned in and kissed his nose, getting the frosting in the process. She then couldn’t help but giggle at the face he made when he realized what had happened, since she had never seen Ethan so flustered.
Who cooks: Neither of them are particularly skilled cooks, so they tend to switch off who cooks so as to split the burden. They also often eat out or get take-out, which is easy thanks to Whitney’s Gym Leader salary. When Ethan’s grandparents were still alive, they would often make soups and the like in bulk for Ethan and Whitney to share, and there are other family friends who send them food once in a while. Once Ethan and Whitney start taking in foster children, they both agree to learn to cook better so that they can provide a better experience for the children in their care. By the time they take in and eventually adopt Carmen, the two have become pretty good cooks, or at least able to follow a recipe, though take out and restaurants are still pretty common traditions.
Who proposed: Ethan proposed to Whitney. It was pretty informal, however. They were spending the evening in at their house in Goldenrod when Ethan just asked, ‘Why don’t we get married?’ Whitney was a bit surprised to hear the question, since she hadn’t taken Ethan for the marrying type. When she didn’t say anything, Ethan just sat up and grasped her hands, a bit more confident, saying ‘I love you, and want to spend the rest of my life with you, like this. So why don’t we?’ Whitney, touched by his earnestness, grinned back and hugged him with an enthusiastic ‘Yes!’
The dominate one: Ethan is the confident type who isn’t afraid to go after what he wants, but at the same time, Whitney is one of the few people who can get him to do what she wants with just a look. So really, it’s a toss-up.
Their favorite pastime together: The two of them have quite different interests, most of the time, Whitney liking to explore cute cafés and shops, while Ethan likes exploring nature. The two of them are perfectly happy to indulge the other, Ethan exploring the city with his wife and Whitney exploring nature with her husband, but they do, in fact, have some shared interests. The main one is taking care of pokémon. Ethan inherits the Daycare from his grandparents, and when he and Whitney get married she’s adamant in helping out there as well. They both love to provide a place to stay for other trainers’ pokémon and a shelter for injured or abandoned pokémon as well. Their other favorite shared pastime is, in fact, baseball. Whitney has been a fan since she was a child, even playing on her school’s team when she was younger. She later inducts Ethan into the sport as well, getting him hooked. The two are part of an informal ‘League Baseball League’ which is comprised of Gym Leaders, the Elite Four (or former Gym Leaders and Elite Four) and their families. 
Who kissed who first: Whitney kissed Ethan!
Who is the flirt: Ethan 100%. He might not seem it at first, but Ethan is a total flirt and has no issue making flirty comments to his wife in public. Whitney, on her part, has no trouble flirting back when he does, though she rarely initiates.
Who is the romantic: The two are about equally romantic, loving to indulge and pamper their spouse. Whitney likes to surprise Ethan with desserts she’s bought on the way home from work, while Ethan will set up romantic dates, both on the town and at home.
Who wakes up first: Both are actually late sleepers, so it’s a code between them that whoever wakes up first will wake up the other so they don’t oversleep. That being said, there are many mornings where both are running late since they didn’t get up on time.
Who comforts who the most: They comfort each other whenever the other needs it, but both are fairly upbeat personalities who don’t need a lot of comforting. As such, sometimes there can be a lack of communication when there’s an issue, so they try to be as open with each other as possible. Whitney feels comfortable going to Ethan for support when her Gym Leader work is driving her mad or tiring her out, and Ethan feels comfortable sharing his stress from running the Daycare or any stress regarding Lance or Draco (Ethan and Whitney have an open relationship, ever since they were just dating, and while Whitney will occasionally go on dates with other people than Ethan, Ethan is actually in a more committed relationship with Lance, though it can be rocky sometimes. Whitney and Lance, on their part, are good friends who like to share silly stories about their husband/boyfriend as well.)
The cuddler: Whitney is very cuddly, enjoying holding on to her husband’s arm when they’re out and about, curling up next to him on the couch, or really just any type of physical affection. Ethan loves holding Whitney and cuddling with her as well, so really, they two of them tend to be attached to each other most of the time.
The big spoon: Ethan!

How they first met: They first met when Serena first moved to Vaniville. Calem was living next door, so he and Shauna decided to head over and greet their new neighbors, especially when they heard there was a girl their age in the family.
Where their first date was: The two had their first date about six or so years after Team Flare was defeated. It was fairly simple and low-key. They got crepes at a food stand in a park in Lumiose and spent the afternoon wandering around, enjoying the nice weather and each other’s company. It was just the kind of relaxing date the two of them wanted.
When they had their first kiss: The two had their first kiss after about a month of dating. It was actually a bit of an incident. After having a nice dinner out, Calem and Serena were sitting on a bench overlooking the canal in Lumiose when both tried to lean in for a kiss at the same time. As a result, since neither was expecting the other to go for a kiss, they ended up smacking their foreheads together and getting quite the nasty bump. Though it definitely hurt, both realized what the other was going for, so they snuck in a quick peck on the lips before running back to Sycamore’s lab to get some ice for their foreheads (the Professor still likes to tease them about that story.)
Who cooks: Calem usually cooks! He’s quite the skilled pastry chef (which the kids adore) but he’s good at making meals as well. He loves cooking and gladly will cook for his wife and family, as well as any friends who are over, since Shauna, Tierno, Trevor, and Emma and their families often visit. Serena’s an okay cook, but Calem tends to dominate the kitchen and she’s quite happy to leave the cooking to him, since he can be fussy when anything in ‘his workspace’ is disturbed or out of place.
Who proposed: Calem proposed to Serena on the opening night of the café the two co-own and run – Café Fleur-de-Lis. The opening night also happened to be Serena’s birthday, and being proposed to by the love of her life was definitely the best birthday present she could have gotten. (Shauna had to help Calem prepare himself for the even for weeks he was so nervous! It was so hard for her to keep the proposal a secret from Serena, but it was all worth it in the end to see her two best friends so happy.)
The dominate one: Serena, usually. Calem tends to get nervous when it comes to taking control, unless he’s completely comfortable and confident in himself, so he often prefers when Serena takes the reigns since he trusts his wife completely and knows she’ll make him happy. That being said, if he’s in the mood, Calem can be quite dominant himself, and Serena certainly doesn’t mind them turning the tables once in a while.
Their favorite pastime together: While managing the café is fun and a rewarding job, Serena and Calem love pokémon battling as a hobby. A fun date or pastime for them is to head over to the Battle Chateau and team up for a few multi-battles against any opponents. The two have both attained the title of Grand Duchess/Duke, so they’re quite famous among those who frequent the spot. Other times, Serena and Calem will have battles against each other, since their rivalry from their journey hasn’t fully died out. Unlike then, however, Calem has won just about half of their battles and the two sometimes place bets on who will edge ahead with more wins – loser has to do the dishes for a week.
Who kissed who first: They kissed each other at the same time!
Who is the flirt: Serena for sure. She’s not overly flirty, but she’s far more comfortable than Calem is with flirting in public. He tends to get embarrassed doing that sort of thing due to his social anxiety, but if he finds the right moment he’s quite good at sliding in with a ‘straight-to-the-heart’ flirtatious comment that will leave Serena blushing.
Who is the romantic: They’re both about equally romantic, though again, Serena is more comfortable being romantic in public. The two can be quite cheesy though, saying mushy things to each other, writing each other cute little post-it notes they leave around the house, going on picnics in the park just the two of them. The kids (and to a lesser degree their friends) often jokingly complain about how ‘sickeningly adorable’ they are – acting like a couple of love-struck teens despite being married for over fifteen years.
Who wakes up first: Calem tends to be an early riser, simply because he tends not to sleep well, often having nightmares and fitful sleep. As such, he often finds himself waking up in the early morning hours and not able to go back to sleep. He doesn’t like to wake up Serena when this happens, so he’ll make a cup of coffee and sit on the balcony and watch the sunrise, perhaps reading a book or listening to music with headphones. Sometimes Serena will also wake up early and join him, especially since she’s gotten good at noticing when he’s up early and waking when that happens. They like to spend the mornings together quietly, just enjoying the view over the city and each other’s company.
Who comforts who the most: Serena tends to comfort Calem more, since he is prone to having difficulties due to his anxiety and depression. She tries her best to find the best ways to help him whenever somethings upsetting or bothering him, whether it’s just being there with him or talking him through it. All the same, Calem does his best to be there whenever Serena needs comforting, since it’s only fair. He appreciates to no end how supportive she is, so he wants to be able to do the same for her.
The cuddler: Calem. He finds physical touch with people very grounding and loves being able to cuddle up with Serena, especially when they’re indoors together during some bad weather. Just curling up together under a blanket with a hot drink and a lighthearted movie is one of his all-time favorite things.
The big spoon: Serena, usually. Calem likes being hugged and held, so Serena often sleeps with him in her arms. It’s another one of those things that, according to their friends and family, falls under the ‘disgustingly adorable’ category of their interactions.

How they first met: They first met in Accumula after Ghetsis’ rally! N was interested in interacting with Hilda as a trainer to ‘convert’ and Hilda thought N was a weird protester and just sort of indulged him since she tries to be respectful of all ideologies. 
Where their first date was: Their first actual date was when the twins were about three years old. It was all very proper and set up in advance, since the two wanted to try out going on a date to see what it was like and if it felt right for them. They went out to a dinner and movie in Nimbasa, pretty ‘stereotypical’ date material. 
When they had their first kiss: Well, technically, their first kiss was when they hooked up at Bianca’s Halloween party, but their first kiss while dating was right on the first date. N kissed Hilda during the credits of the movie, then immediately apologized for being forward, though Hilda didn’t mind and said she would be fine with going further once they got home or not, depending on what he wanted. 
Who cooks: Hilda is the better cook, but N is usually the one home to do the cooking since their home is right above the pokémon shelter he mainly runs. His cooking is pretty good, but he tends to stick to the recipe by the letter, rather than getting more creative like Hilda does. Once the kids are older, however, Euphie usually cooks, since he’s quite the skilled chef.
Who proposed: Hilda proposed! Her mom and the twins helped her set the whole thing up, from choosing a ring to finding the perfect location. At this point, she knew N would say yes, so it was all about the celebration. After he accepted her proposal, the twins burst out of hiding and, though they were meant to give bouquets to the happy couple, ended up throwing the flowers on them instead. It was all pretty hilarious. They had a small party in Nuvema at Hilda’s childhood home afterwards.
The dominate one: Hilda is more consistently dominant, but N can easily be more dominant than her when he wants to be, though he tends to be more flexible.
Their favorite pastime together: Working at the pokémon shelter together is a favorite. Hilda is so busy with her Elite Four job that just unwinding by taking care of pokémon with her husband is something she looks forward to. As for more romantic pastimes, while they don’t live there, if they have the time, they like to go to Nimbasa to visit the amusement park – especially the ferris wheel, of course.
Who kissed who first: N! Both during their one-night-stand and when they started dating.
Who is the flirt: Neither, actually. They are not a super flirty couple and prefer to show their affection through smaller, non-verbal displays.
Who is the romantic: N, usually. Hilda can be a bit stiff and formal at times, especially when she’s tired after work, so N likes to help her unwind by pampering her and showering her with romantic gestures. He gets really into the idea of romance and the like so getting her flowers and setting up cute dates is a hobby for him.
Who wakes up first: They tend to wake up at the same time, typically. Hilda is perhaps a bit more of an early riser, but a good amount of the time, N will wake up before her. It really depends on the day. Both of them kind of like to watch the other sleep though, if they wake up first. It’s comforting seeing their spouse so at ease.
Who comforts who the most: Hilda usually comforts N more, simply because N has had the more upsetting life. She’s gotten tuned in to the things that can cause him to panic or react negatively as a result of Ghetsis and Team Plasma and how to help him in those situations. That being said, N also knows that Hilda tends to internalize her own problems and hates when she takes care of him but not herself. As a result, he’s also gotten good on picking up when Hilda is bothered by something, and knows just what to do to help her feel better or just provide a shoulder to lean on.
The cuddler: N tends to be more physically affectionate, often curling up to Hilda like a cat, but his wife has her moments as well. The two aren’t super big on PDA though, nor physical affection in general, so most of their cuddling is when they’re at home alone and sitting together or in bed.
The big spoon: They switch! N is taller, so he often will be the big spoon, but then Hilda will complain he’s too bony and his elbow is poking into her so she’ll demand to be the big spoon instead. Either way, even if they start off spooning it doesn’t last long, since it’s not really either of their preferred cuddling position.
