KalosShipping for the sleep ask?

Who is a night owl?
Calem tends to stay up later, often finding he has trouble getting to sleep thanks to anxious thoughts keeping him up. This isn’t by choice, of course, so he actively tries not to be a night owl if he can help it, especially since his internal clock tends to wake him up earlier. 

Who is a morning person?
Serena for sure! It can take her a bit of coaxing to get out of bed, but once she’s up, she’s up. While Calem needs caffeine to get him going in the mornings, Serena is ready to go right away. She’s the type of person who will get ready for the day right after waking up, rather than lounging in her pajamas for a while, even on weekends (though she certainly did plenty of that as a teenager.)

Are they cuddlers?
Definitely! Both of them love physical affection, Calem especially, and they end most days curled up together on the couch doing work or watching a movie before they head to bed (where there will be more cuddling.) Calem tends to be a bit clingier and will initiate cuddling more frequently, but Serena’s the one who will protest if he draws away first.

Who is the big spoon and who is the little spoon?
They’ll alternate, but generally Calem is the little spoon since he likes to be held.

What is their favourite sleeping position?
Spooning! On their own, Calem tends to curl up in his sleep, while Serena tends to move around a bit, often bunching all the blankets around her.

Who steals all the blankets?
Serena. Calem will as well though if he’s have a bad day.

What they wear to bed?
Serena: Any kind of cute matching pajama set. She has both short sleeved/shorts sets and long sleeved sets depending on the season.
Calem: Usually just sweats and an old t-shirt or tank top. If it’s hot out he’ll wear just his underwear and a tank top. Generally he cares more about being comfortable as he sleeps over looking good (unless he’s planning to wear something nice for Serena but… he doesn’t really sleep in those kinds of outfits.)

Who likes seeing the other wearing their t-shirt?
Calem sometimes grabs one of Serena’s oversized shirts to sleep in and she finds that adorable enough to purposefully buy them and pretend they’re hers, but really she only got them for him to wear as pajamas.

Who falls asleep mid-conversation?
Neither of them, really. Serena maybe, if she’s been working extra hard recently, but she tends to be fairly aware of her own tiredness and will go to bed early if she’s that exhausted.

Who wakes up in the middle of the night with nightmares?
Calem. He’s had them for as long as they’ve been together, so Serena’s gotten used to comforting him if he has one. She’ll hold him until he falls back asleep, or until morning if he doesn’t manage to.

Who accidentally punched the other in their sleep?
Serena, probably. She doesn’t move much in her sleep, but certain dreams can get her gesturing and might accidentally lead to her smacking Calem. Calem also occasionally will thrash a bit if he has a nightmare, or wakes up suddenly after having one, but these occurrences aren’t very common anymore. 

Who can’t keep their hands to themselves?
Both of them. They’re both affectionate people who will seek each other out in their sleep, cuddling or otherwise. They often wake up with their limbs all entangled.

Leaf, Lyra, Lucas, and Calem?

Leaf
– My NOTP for them
Well, since I headcanon her and Red to be siblings, I feel a bit weird seeing them shipped together. (BurningLeafShipping)  
– My BROTP for them
Aside from her and Red as siblings, I like the idea of Leaf being good friends with both the Let’s Go characters, being their age and going on a journey with them in the fankid AU, as well as being good friends with Lyra, Ethan, and Silver.
– My OTP for them
Leaf/Blue (ConflictingShipping)
– My second choice pairing for them
Leaf/Silver (ReturnToStartShipping) has grown on me. I like them as close friends so a romantic ship is a possible alternate to that.
– My fluffy pairing for them
I write Leaf/Blue as pretty fluffy, but the true fluffy Leaf ship is Leaf/Yellow (CrushedWordShipping), despite the ship name since Yellow makes almost any ship fluffy.
– My angsty pairing for them
I can see Leaf/Silver being pretty angsty since it’s a ship that I can’t really see lasting, despite enjoying the dynamic.
– My favorite poly ship for them
Leaf/Blue/Misty could be pretty cute I think.
– My weirdest pairing for them
I suppose Leaf/Yellow? They come from different canons at least.

Lyra
– My NOTP for them
None.  
– My BROTP for them
Lyra/Ethan. I like them as best friends.
– My OTP for them
Lyra/Silver. (SoulSilverShipping). This would be for game!protag!Lyra as opposed to any other one.
– My second choice pairing for them
I think Lyra/Lance (TrickyShipping) is cute and used to ship it more seriously when I was younger. Maybe it would be cute for if Ethan was protag instead of her since I have bff!Ethan with Lance in the fankid AU. 
– My fluffy pairing for them
Lyra/Khoury (JohtoFestaShipping). This is the ship I like for anime!Lyra.
– My angsty pairing for them
I gave her and Silver a decent amount of angst in the fankid AU so…
– My favorite poly ship for them
Lyra/Silver/Ethan (SamisenShipping) or Lyra/Lance/Ethan, but I see the latter as being less realistic. 
– My weirdest pairing for them

None really? I tend to ship her with more popular ships.

Lucas
– My NOTP for them
None.  
– My BROTP for them
Lucas/Dawn. I really like them as close friends, regardless of role or universe.
– My OTP for them
Lucas/Barry (ClingyShipping.) It doesn’t matter if Lucas is the protag or assistant this is the OTP.
– My second choice pairing for them
I just can’t see Lucas/Dawn as being romantic, and don’t really think about Lucas ships beyond Clingy, but a ship that could be interesting is Lucas/Cynthia (JocastaShipping).
– My fluffy pairing for them
Lucas/Barry.
– My angsty pairing for them
Maybe unrequited Lucas/Dawn or Lucas/Cynthia?
– My favorite poly ship for them
Even though I don’t ship Lucas/Dawn, I like the idea of Dawn/Barry/Lucas (ScarfShipping).
– My weirdest pairing for them
I guess Lucas/Cynthia but I don’t really ship it seriously.

Calem
– My NOTP for them
Don’t have one to be honest, but I guess the obligatory ‘I hc them as related so I find the ship weird’ of Calem/Sycamore (KerrShipping) and Calem/Alain. 
– My BROTP for them
Considering I hc them as actual brothers, I’ll put Calem/Alain here, but the actual answer would probably be Calem/Shauna. I hc them as each other’s best childhood friends.
– My OTP for them
Calem/Serena (KalosShipping).  
– My second choice pairing for them
Calem/Emma (GrowingUpShipping) is pretty cute.
– My fluffy pairing for them
Calem/Serena.
– My angsty pairing for them
Calem/Lysandre and it’s all @sydchan‘s fault. But uhh…. this would be in an anime!AU or where Calem is the protagonist since in the fankid AU he saw Lysandre as a father figure so a ship between them would be Weird. 
– My favorite poly ship for them
Maybe something like Calem/Serena/Shauna (TreasuredGiftShipping) sounds pretty cute.
– My weirdest pairing for them

I suppose Calem/Emma is obscure? I don’t see a lot of Calem at all to be honest.
