In my eyes, they complete one another. They are best friends and soulmates and something difficult to capture. But they’re not boyfriends, and they’re not really dating.
I solidified the relationship in my mind between these two when I was young. I wanted them to have what I thought was the best kind of relationship possible. In doing so, I projected the kind of love I wanted to have someday, the kind that is close like partners, but without any of that gross romantic stuff. I later discovered I was aromantic. This makes a lot of sense. It was years after that when I learned about queerplatonic relationships, and decided to apply that word to these two orbs.
These characters are still beloved to me, and they still live this way in my head, albeit with more nuance now that I am much older.
