#you probably can't successfully put locks on the harbour bridge (i haven't tried yet)

[dawningfairytale]

blackrose headcanons because i really need to cleanse my conscience

ocean and constance take forever to express their feelings

constance comes out first, she's like "so i should probably tell you i'm bi"

ocean, repressed lesbian that she is says, "great! i can't really relate but i'm so happy for you!"

when they eventually get together (thanks to the choir encouraging them), they take some time to click in a romantic manner?? but they get there!!!

whenever ocean comes up to constance, she drapes her arms around her and constance turns around and gives her a kiss

constance doesn't do the same bc she knows that ocean doesn't like being surprised

but yeah ocean is very physically clingy

they always give each other little kisses!!!! on the cheek, on the mouth, on the neck, arm, whatever!!!! (and butterfly kisses)

ocean's key love language is physical touch (giving and receiving)

constance's key giving love language is gifts and receiving is words of affirmation

but both appreciate the other's while learning in how to take care of her girlfriend better!!

they have the deepest conversations, in person and over text, and they always squeal when the other drops in some really romantic stuff

constance always sends ocean a good morning text (ocean has been awake for hours) and ocean always sends constance a good night text (constance will be awake for hours after)

ocean does not know how to flirt, but constance is a master at it

whenever constance flirts she's just like "kiss me and teach me"

ocean realises she does not have to be perfect at everything and their relationship is not a competition

they always team up on game nights because they like to win against the rest of the choir (when playing monopoly, it's them against the world)

constance isn't always the best at speaking up (even though she got better at it after canon) so ocean makes sure that, even if no one listens to her, they'll listen to her girlfriend

if in an everybody lives/reanimation au, ocean gets a job at the blackwood cafe to spend more time with constance

but constance is a big fan of making sure everything is cleared by hr (her parents) while not wanting to tell her parents everything, so ocean sacrifices by quitting and instead starts hanging out at the cafe

constance is the best at presents and ocean doesn't know what to do about that

so for constance's 21st she gets the whole choir together (they won't be in school anymore but like you get the point) to brainstorm

after weeks of brainstorming, she comes up with a "constance fair", where everyone in town comes out to celebrate her, giving her her favourite things for free (ocean paid them in advance), and displaying the gifts she gave them

ocean even wears a sweater of her own volition!!!

constance loves getting to see everyone in town and seeing them reciprocate all her kindness (and ocean enjoys it second hand)!!

but then she's got 6 weeks until ocean's birthday and while she doesn't want to surprise her because ocean likes feeling in control, she doesn't want to make anything too obvious

ocean doesn't change her mind a lot, so she goes through their chat backlogs and looks through her memory to see if ocean has dropped any hints

oocr: In part to spite Noel, I think Australia is the perfect romantic destination. connieblkwd: is it bc you wouldntve to wear a sweater when ur there??? oocr: The Opera House is majestic! oocr: And I'll admit, it would be nice to not be freezing for once.

when they were 20, ocean said "i'd love to put a lock with your name on the sydney harbour bridge"

so constance scraped together a bunch of money to make her way to australia for ocean's birthday

ocean was overjoyed

but because they had to get on a cheap plane - "constance, this feels a little troubling" "it's just turbulence" "what happened last time i said something was rickety and you didn't listen to me" "it didn't kill us! for long..." "constance!!" "you can hold my hand if you like"

constance eventually got her to sleep for the rest of the flight by singing broadway standards (bc ocean has rachel berry energy)

and they have a great time, perhaps even moving there a couple of years later???

ocean hates being given pet names, so constance laid off them, but constance really likes being called "my melody" and "my sweetness" and "sugar cloud"

ocean once suggested "heartbreaker". constance didn't like even thinking about breaking ocean's heart!!! but then ocean said, "no, everyone else's, because i have you". constance still didn't love it though so ocean stopped!!

while they couldn't communicate when they were pining teenagers, they got better at it!!!
