Warning: my response to the first prompt is based of the last chapter of my ff where Abhimanyu kissed Akshara for the first time.
Who deepens the kiss?
Since the day at the airport, Akshara has been waiting for Abhimanyu to kiss her again but he didn't. He leaned in sometimes, his warm breath grazed her cheeks but to her surprise, he just tucked a strand of hair back and smirked. She wanted to curse at him. "Were you expecting something else, Akshu," he asked smugly.
Akshara shook her head in annoyance. She didn't want him to give him the satisfaction of getting under her skin.
As the days went by, anxiety snuck up on Akshara. What if he's losing interest in me and that's why he doesn't want to kiss me. What if I'm a terrible kisser? It was embarrassing how many hours she spent spiralling over these thoughts. One after, Kairav caught her staring into oblivion and asked her what was going on.
"Aap nahi samjoge, bhaiya (you won't understand)," he heard her respond meekly as she ran away blushing. Kairav was stumped.
As much as he loved tempting her, Abhimanyu couldn't hold out much longer so on their next date he snatched the opportunity and kissed her. Akshara smiled into the kiss, ready to wrap her arms around his neck and pull him closer but he pulled away with one last peck.
"Hi," he whispered, staring at her lips when she latched onto his shirt collar and pulled him back. She took advantage of his shock and deepened the kiss. Abhimanyu loved her dominance, loved feeling so wanted by her. Since then, he'd always start with a peck and let her take the lead.
Who makes Instagram reels?

Akshara does, especially when he is stressed in his office with a pile of files to go through. They make reels like the one I inserted above where Akshara's doing most of the work and Abhimanyu's just gazing at her. Sometimes she gets him to move a little. Akshara always chooses romantic reels with him. She rejected him so many times at the beginning of their relationship (or lack thereof) that now she tries to make it up with a thousand "I love you's" and mushy songs.
When they go home, she'd make reels with the rest of the family but especially with Manjari. She knows how Manjari went unseen in the Birla house for years so Akshara's goal was to always include and pamper her mother-in-law.
Who starts the pillow fights?
Abhimanyu's too afraid of accidentally hurting her so Akshara does.
Who draws little tattoos on the other with a pen?
Some people hide hickeys but Abhimanyu hides pen tattoos on his wrist with watches and long sleeves. Even in the summer, he'd wear long sleeves under his scrubs to hide her silly little doodles. Once in surgery, his nurse saw the tattoo of Abhi loves Akshu, the "I" was dotted with a heart, and giggled. Abhimanyu was mortified. He grumbled and whined to Akshara when he saw her next while she chuckled. "Akshu" he groaned. She asked if he wanted her to stop doing it but he said "no". Whenever she draws on him, he uses that time to play with her hair and watch her intently.
Who teases who?
Just like Kaira, they'd tease each other constantly - Akshara about Abhimanyu's age and he about her clumsiness. Akshara would trade their nok-jhoks for the world. She once told Maya that these nok-jhoks are what make her and Abhimanyu friends. "Love isn't potent all the time, but friendship is. Humne zyaada waqt ek dusre ke saath nahi spend kiya before falling in so we didn't get the foundation of friendship. So this is all we have."
What do they fight about most?
They rarely fight because Abhimanyu can't stay mad at his Akshu but when they do, it's disastrous. They're both a mess afterwards - Abhimanyu has to reschedule nonemergent surgeries and Akshara spends every free second digging her nails in her palm to stop her from crying.
Their biggest fights were about Akshara's sacrificial nature especially towards those who don't deserve it. Abhimanyu's always worried about leaving Akshara alone with Aarohi. He knew she was trying to change but he couldn't risk it. "What if she says something to you and you have another panic attack," he screams. "Main nahin honga wahan tumhara khyaal rakhne ke liya, Akshu samjo!"
Somehow Shivi and Randeeps Reel inspired me to write this while I took a break from studying lol. Sorry I couldn't devote much time to this post but I can't wait to hear your feedback!
I’d love to hear more prompts (give me a ship type…) and I think it’s be fantastic if everyone decides to pitch in and answer them.
