Chapter Text
Coach:
He's the same; just with the tv. He'll come back from work and flop right on the couch and turn that thing on to just stare at it; sighing and calming down from work. When you come to share what new thing has your interest on the internet he'll listen, having no clue about any of this but if it keeps you occupied then that's good.
If it's because you just don't have anything else to do or for negative reasons then he'll suggest going for a walk, an activity, etc so can both actually be productive instead of sitting here for hours just hoping some strangers on a screen can keep you entertained.
Rochelle:
She's also so, but more due to her work being associate producer so she has to keep up with news and help find new stuff that could attract attention. So if you are chronically online that's so handy as she can just ask you what's happening in the world right now. Whether silly or serious; anything that could get a reaction is good enough.
But she does nto approve of it during quality time. Quality time together should be spend without screens as main focus. An occassional check is okay, but if your mind is more on your screen than her? That's a reason to have a big argument break out as that is a serious issue then if your mind is more on the internet than your own girlfriend.
Ellis:
He's not a fan of it. He likes a partner, and just friend, who can be in the moment and do silly things with him in person; not be glued to a screen. He worries he's not interesting enough when you get behind a screen while he's there, makes him feel as if he has to do better. Or he will awkwardly try to involve himself with a “so what ya doing?” while peeking at the screen.
He does enjoy the drama though so when you come with new tea he's ready for it; giving you all the reactions of shock, joy, anger, and disbelief you would want to this particular news.
Nick:
He doesn't care. You do you. So long it doesn't pull him into it nor are neglecting other stuff. If you aren't paying much attention to him anymore or making it your whole personality he's fast to say: 'Get a life' or just snatch the screen away and toss it aside with a “Okay! Let's go do something productive”.
At first he always said not to ramble to him about some strangers business to him, but when he realized the fun of being an observer to drama? Oooh he's fast to sit down and listen to the new drama as you explain it all like some podcast. He always behaves as if he could do better than the person and would have made the right choices.
