Biospec for the ship meme!

-who cries when someone dies in a movie

Jemma, and listen, the first time Grant totally got so worried because the side he saw of her was so tough before, between sassing him at first, then becoming friends and her being so excited about everything or so strong when thinking she’d die (he wasn’t around to see her tear up over smaller things), and then even what happened to her couldn’t entirely break her spirit and when it did it was reasonable, given what she was going through… so he did not expect her to start crying over Doctor Who. There had to be something behind it, right? Wrong. Two minutes later she was laughing over a scene. And at the end she was crying again.He has learned to pet her hair and give her tissues without questioning it. 

-who wears the ugly holiday garb

Jemma. She thinks he’ll believe himself to cool to wear it too but it doesn’t stop her from getting him extravagant accessories that he can wear for a few minutes while they are alone, which he’ll do because he’s a sap who wants to hold hands and buys plants to people because she’s like “come on, boyfriend! It’s a couple thing!” and kiss him all sweetly and whatever, he can wear it 

-who pays for the meals

Jemma went “I will let myself starve to death if you pay for everything” with the usual tact so they agreed on alternating - unless it’s a romantic date, then he can pay. (once she surprised him with a romantic date she planned because she decided he wasn’t pampered enough and paid and got him a rose too at the end of the night, it happened.)

-who slams the oven door and who plays the trombone

he plays trombone, she said if he slams the oven door he’ll break it. Then she proceeded on breaking it herself. 

-who brings home stray animals

both. I feel Ward would, at first, worry about her reaction more than necessary due to his… upbringing and the fact that he’s suddenly throwing this at her (he’d probably get a pet away from a storm), but one look at the two adorable beings in front of her and Jemma is looking for food and blankets for them. Jemma sends 54 photographs with ‘LOOK AT THIS’ ‘IT’S OURS FOR NOW’ ‘LOOK AT THAT LITTLE FACE’ shamelessly.

-who leaves the bathroom door open

I feel like Ward wouldn’t really care all that much, but Jemma always closes hers unless she’s doing little things like fixing her hair, so he closes it for her. Though he does appreciate a lot that she leaves the door open when drying her hair because then he gets to see her pull a singing and dancing performance while she does. She tries not to get in the bathroom when he’s showering unless it’s to join or to at least knock also because due to his life (family, then the woods, then op academy and field) she thinks he didn’t have enough privacy before.

-who tells the ‘dad jokes’

that’s hard to tell. They both pun, but he does it the most. She says unfunny jokes on purpose. It’s kind of a mix? Also it’s funny to make each other stare in disbelief so Jemma says particularly dark ones around him, and he says particularly stupid puns to get those looks. 

-who wants kids more

okay, I think they are both afraid of being bad parents, but Ward more. He wouldn’t exactly think about kids necessarily, not right away, while Jemma has a vague future plan that involves them. But I also think that looking at Jemma play with a kid would pull every possible string of Ward’s heart, and being left to babysit with Jemma and doing a good job would give him a hell of a push towards wanting them. 

-who travels more

both do due to their jobs (Jemma will soon travel in another planet tho, so… that’s…)

-who spends more cash

okay they are both so damn extra. Canonically he was in cool hotels while on the run. She has lots of outfits. They would both spend money to spoil each other when they have off time, and buying quality food too. I’m for once going to say that it’s not Jemma, it’s Ward. He’d spend more money for her. Renting a room on a day off so they can relax like she wanted, getting her truffle fries delivered no matter where they sell them, making sure they are still hot, that sort of thing. He hasn’t had the chance to care for people often lately, and she always appreciates it so much that he’s happy to make her happy. 

-who buys the things in infomercials

neither, though if he comments on anything looking useful she will immediately take an interest in it and see if she can make it for him with Fitz’s help. 

-who draws in the dust on their cars

listen, canonically cactus guy wasn’t even gonna, but then his girlfriend left him cute messages (meant for him to just erase them once he read them but really, he has some trouble erasing ‘love u’ from the trunk and considers leaving it) and he found that when he left her drawings or messages she took photos of it and she has them on her phone, so they both do it now.  

-who starts the snowball fights

I feel like he’d have been more hesitant to start them at first? Big op guy, trained to kill, grabbing something to throw it at 5′’4(3) Jemma, not knowing how she’d take it in the first place? But then Jemma tossed it at him anyway - with unexpected good aim - and he returned the favor. They never start long because once she starts laughing hysterically it’s difficult to continue - one time he started them and she somehow managed to actually tackle him down and then kiss him up nicely, so he’s not against starting anymore.  

-who throws away the directions to things

Grant normally is okay with following them, but once he was being all cool in a ‘let’s wing it, it doesn’t matter if we take a wrong turn’ sort of way, and Jemma made them drive through woods somehow, and wanted to get a raccoon in the car, and then made him take another turn and they ended up in the middle of some town’s celebration that he knew nothing of and nearly insulted the police woman who vaguely flirted with him while he had to ask for directions, which okay, was pretty funny for him, and then despite his training she got them lost and from now on there is no throwing directions away. 

-who puts up holiday decor

he wasn’t going to, and then Jemma so happily brought up how they were getting their own ‘family traditions’ and how happy she was that they’d get the chance to have their own place and even invite friends to have coffee/tea with them and have normal domestic times, and Grant found himself hanging reindeers plushies on the wall, above her desk and feeling all warm and fuzzy because every time Jemma is putting up decorations she either climbs his back and then kisses his cheek and head constantly, or has to be lifted and giggles to death, or simply stops whenever she walks by to cuddle him and show how happy she is with him

-who is more likely to forget to bathe

he has looked way too clean on screen after all kinds of battles that I feel he might need to be unconscious to forget to tend his looks. Jemma forgets her shower after work only if she’s working so hard she doesn’t remember how to person, so it’s Jemma. 

-who gets more obsessed about things

they are both pretty obsessive about bad things, while fiction and happy things is more Jemma’s area, so Jemma but only because of the wider range of obsessions. Surprisingly, he is more ‘obsessive’ about her health than she is about his or hers, maybe because while yes, his life is often in danger due to his job, her life is also in danger due to job but she also doesn’t take care of herself at all, not the way she’d make him take care of himself if sick, or she dismisses her being sick the same way he would, but she’s more frail when it comes to her health and he’s so not letting her do the dishes while she has fever, nor go back to work with a horrible headache, and will keep being overprotective for days if she gets hurt. 

-who sings in the shower more often

Jemma, who once they are together gives up on trying to look like a proper serious scientists and just welcomes him singing at this point if he walks on it. I don’t know if Ward sings, but I can definitely see him laughing if they are taking the shower together and actually cleaning themselves and she starts singing with the radio (until they kiss and then the shower isn’t just a shower anymore)
