How they first met: Their first meeting was when Barry tried to convince Dawn to go into the tall grass without their own pokémon and were stopped by Professor Rowan. Lucas was, of course, assisting the professor and exchanged introductions with Barry and Dawn at the time. They don’t get to know each other that well until after the Galactic fiasco, however.
Where their first date was: Barry asked Lucas out when the two met up at the Resort Area after quite a while stewing in his crush. They went to a small food stand to grab something to go and spent the time wandering around the town, chatting about their interests.
When they had their first kiss: They had their first kiss on their fourth date. Barry was walking Lucas back to Rowan’s Lab after the date so he could finish up some work, but before he went inside, Lucas gave Barry a quick peck on the lips then dashed inside, leaving Barry bright red and flustered outside.
Who cooks: Both of them! The two are both pretty good cooks, but have different styles, so they like to mix it up by alternating who cooks when. This also helps since they both have pretty busy schedules, so neither one has to worry about having to always cook. They’ll order takeout if both are too tired to cook though – pizza is a family favorite.
Who proposed: While Barry was the one to first ask Lucas out, Lucas was the one to propose. He went all out, too – took Barry to a fancy restaurant in Jubilife, got a nice meal, then went for a walk. He proposed on one of the most famous overlooks in the city, which has beautiful views over all the lights. Barry was so excited he tackle-hugged Lucas and nearly knocked the two of them over the edge of the outlook.
The dominate one: The two of them are pretty evenly split on who is more dominant. Barry tends to be more impulsive and is the one to encourage Lucas to try new and wild things, while Lucas is more dominant in the reason department, usually finding more obscure activities for them to do together. They compliment each other very well that way.
Their favorite pass time together: Exploring new places. It could be the wilderness, a new restaurant or shop in the city, or simply a new activity or hobby. Both of them love trying new things, whether it ends up as a new favorite place/thing or a total disaster. If it goes badly, at least they have a good story.
Who kissed who first: Lucas kissed Barry!
Who is the flirt: Lucas, most of the time. Barry has his moments, but Lucas is very smooth in his flirtations and can compliment and flirt with Barry just as casually as regular conversation. Barry tends to get flustered when it comes to overly romantic or flirtatious gestures, so even if he tries, he’ll end up embarrassing himself with his own comments. Lucas likes to tease him.
Who is the romantic: Also Lucas. Just like he can casually flirt, he’s great at being casually romantic, setting up candlelit dinners, buying flowers for Barry, things like that. When Barry wants to be romantic, however, he goes all out. One time he got skywriting for their anniversary that said ‘Lucas + Barry 4 Ever’. Lucas definitely laughed at that but he was so charmed he couldn’t help but adore how earnest his husband was.
Who wakes up first: Barry, usually. Lucas is quite the deep sleeper and needs to set multiple alarms to make sure he wakes up on time. Barry tends to ping awake early in the morning and gets up to make himself a cup of coffee or a light breakfast. He’s learned not to try and wake Lucas though, since his husband can be really grumpy in the mornings.
Who comforts who the most: Barry is the more emotional one who tends to need more consoling and comforting, so Lucas usually takes that role in the relationship. He’s quite good at pampering to help Barry feel better. All the same, whenever Lucas is upset or feeling down, Barry is great at cheering him up with a cheesy movie, a tub of ice cream and a funny story.
The cuddler: Barry for sure. He’s very physically affectionate and likes to wrap himself around Lucas whenever they’re cuddling or sharing space together. Lucas compares Barry to a Chimchar clinging to a tree, which Barry finds a little bit insulting considering Chimchar was his starter and all. Lucas loves how affectionate Barry is though, considering he likes being cuddled, so it all works out.
The big spoon: Usually Barry! Since Lucas likes being cuddled and Barry likes cuddling their spooning situation is almost always Barry as the big spoon and Lucas as the little spoon. Barry usually ends up wrapping his arms and legs around Lucas like a Komala as well.
