Dating Ilya Mao would include:

🛼 Her being an amazing girlfriend. Periodt.

🛼 Teaches you how to roller skate if you don't already know, uses it an excuse to hold your hand before she gets up the nerve to ask you out.

🛼 And if you already knew how, you pretend you don't for the same reasons.

🛼 Freaks out if you fall, but will definitely laugh once she knows you're okay.

🛼 Asks you to help her with dying her streaks.

🛼 Does your make up for you if you're into that, she's amazing with graphic eyeshadow and dramatic eyeliner. She sits on your lap while she applies it.

🛼 Sits in your lap pretty regularly actually, really dgaf who's around, she loves being close with you.

🛼 Steals kisses from you all the time, runs up and pecks you on the lips with no warning, she thinks it's the funniest thing ever.

🛼 Throws her jacket at you with no hesitation if you're cold, she loves seeing you in her clothes.

🛼 A loud and proud queen if I haven't made this obvious enough already.

🛼 Gushes about you to Rashad, literally with her eyes twinkling. The poor man didn't sign up for this but he does his best to listen.

🛼 Sometimes Rashad breaks though, he'll abruptly get up and throw Ilya over his shoulder to go and find you.

🛼 Dumps her in your lap like "I believe this belongs to you?"

🛼 Totally supports your relationship though.

🛼 Her lock screen:

🛼 She loves to snuggle up to you in her sleep, you're literally her comfort person.

🛼 Loves it when you brush her hair for her, I HC this woman has a ton of cowlicks in the morning and it's honestly adorable.

🛼 Let's you put stickers on her helmet, she protests but she secretly thinks it's awesome.

🛼 I love her but girl can't cook. She has basic kitchen skills but ask her to make something from scratch at your own peril tbh.

🛼 I definitely envision the two of you living in a cute but cozy studio apartment, it's the perfect space for the two of you. It's close to a skatepark and roller rink, both are in walking distance.

🛼 Loves to rest her head in your lap to unwind, especially if you play with her hair, it's her idea of paradise.

🛼 Gushes over you, brags about all your achievements, we stan a supportive gf.

🛼 Ties up your shoe laces for you all the time, never let's you do it, doesn't hesitate either, it's so cute too.

🛼 Okay but I feel like she's a pretty good driver, even if she does prefer to skate everywhere.

🛼 She'd have an older, slightly banged up car I think.

🛼 Does that thing when reversing where she puts her hand on the back of your headrest while she cranes her neck to look behind the car. Idk, it's hot, sue me.

🛼 Lowkey matching pyjamas. Not outright matching like the same set, but I could see her in red flannel pyjama pants and a black singlet top while you wear the matching button up top and shorts.

🛼 Little random noms throughout the day. Not hard or bruising, just random noms on your arm, shoulder, ear, cheek, ect.

🛼 Cat mum, you have at least one cat that the two of you adopted together.

🛼 This cat is missing an eye and is an angry basically feral thing, but holy fuck he loves you guys. Only you guys, hates everyone else.

🛼 Y'all probably found him in the alley behind your apartment building and just idk, but he loves you guys. I could definitely write a one shot about this tbh.

🛼 Volunteers at cat shelters too in her spare time.

🛼 Omg cute lil zoo dates, she gets so excited seeing all the animals and always saves up to do those animal experiences.

🛼 Rave girl, loves to go dancing with you.

🛼 Definitely the type to get all warm and comfy and then not want to get up and remove her makeup so you do it for her lol.

🛼 Canon outfit aside I can totally see her in baggy pants and cute band tops she crops herself.

🛼 Okay but if your favorite clothes don't have pockets, she is 100 percent the type of girlfriend to take those clothes to a tailor and get pockets sewn on or she just figures out how to do it herself.

🛼 A HUGE fan of women's roller derby, I lowkey feel like that's what got her into skating and as she got older it definitely gave her a few moments of gay panic. As an adult I can see her joining a local team for fun in her spare time.

🛼 You go to every match of her's and you're her biggest fan too.

🛼 Rings. If she's not wearing gloves for Blading or skating, I could lowkey see her rocking that multiple ring aesthetic.

🛼 Exhibit A:

🛼 Nails are always done too, not necessarily with acrylics and polish (although I could definitely see her experimenting with some really cute short nail sets too) but just nice, trimmed, CLEAN.

🛼 And if you want yours done she doesn't hesitate to pay for them.

🛼 She'd come along to your appointments to chat with you and feed you snacks.

🛼 Lowkey feels like she makes a mean smoothie. Boost Juice who? Nah, not with Ilya around.

🛼 Actual girlfriend and relationship goals.

Yeah I'm fruity and I felt like writing for a girl for once. Deal with it or suffer x
