Domesticity Meme [Florian & Sebastian]

Who is the big spoon/little spoon – Sebastian is more prone to lying on his back in his sleep than on his side. Florian routinely waits for Sebastian to nod off before he creeps into his half of the bed and cosies up to his side.

What is their favourite non-sexual activity – Tolerating each other in long stints of silence.

Who uses all the hot water in the morning – It doesn’t matter that he regularly invades Sebastian’s abode for his own comfort, Florian will get into the bathroom first, provided he lingers for long enough.


What they order from take out – Every order inevitably turns into a debate regarding Florian’s lack of adventure when it comes to food. Every debate ends with him telling Sebastian he is more than willing to stray from the ever faithful Italian menu, provided it isn’t his money he wastes when he doesn’t finish his thai, indian, or persian dish.

What is the most trivial thing they fight over – The last cigarette in Sebastian’s current packet, which Florian instigates purely out of spite.

Who does most of the cleaning – His tendency to drop by Sebastian’s home only when it suits him lets Florian shirk any cleaning responsibilities that could be given to him, and that suits him just fine. It helps that he rarely leaves a trace of himself behind.

What has a season pass in their DVR – Neither of them care enough for sports to watch it, let alone buy a season pass to have complete access to every season game.

Who controls the netflix queue –The television provides ample background noise when Florian visits for a quiet night in. Sebastian has yet to find a show that captivates his beau. He is seldom swayed by Sebastian’s insistence that he should give show A or program B a chance, and will often return to his chosen reading material halfway through any given episode of anything.

Who calls up the landlord when the heat’s not working – Because Florian’s more abrasive approach to problems and people would not endear them to any landlord, Sebastian is forced to manage any and all negotiations.

Who steals the blankets – Florian, the selfish mite that he is, is seldom satisfied with leeching Sebastian’s body heat from him whilst he sleeps. During colder nights he’ll bundle himself up in the remainder of the duvet, to the point where, once the morning rolls around, he can barely be seen amidst the heap of covers.

Who leaves their stuff around – They form quite the tidy pair, but Florian is notorious for leaving books, cups, and jumpers around the flat when they are no longer of immediate use to him.

Who remembers to buy the milk – Florian buys only what he will use. Sebastian is far more dependable.

Who remembers anniversaries – Sebastian, who treats the relationship as something of substance, whilst Florian fails to attach much significance to it.
