Serious & Proper x Mischievous Rule Breaker Couple
The mischievous one is fun loving and quick to laugh (and often quick to cry in a dramatic and over-the-top way too). The serious one is generally upright, proper, extremely competent, and cold, but has a soft spot for the mischievous one and will even break the rules / their usual code of conduct for them. The mischievous one brings the serious one out of their shell and makes them smile.
The mischievous one is NOT just cute in a quiet way and definitely is not clumsy in a cringey way (this list is not for Mischievous Kiss or When a Snail Falls in Love dynamics). The mischievous one has a big personality and their own sense of righteousness and talents (including distracting the serious one from their worries without even trying).
