My headcanon on how Theo and Trish got close in the end

Theo x Trish

- On that night when Trish was ready to leave after the booty call, asked her to stay. Trish stayed, though she’s not sure why Theo only stared at a corner blankly for the rest of the night.

- when they buried Nell Trish only stayed close to Theo and be with her. Theo didn’t say anything, but Trish just rubbed her back to comfort her. (she was actually surprised when Theo didn’t shy away).

- They didn’t talk until they were back at the funeral home, where Theo seemed lonely and refused to talk to her family. Trish cracked a joke about alcoholism, and that was the first time she saw Theo smile with affection.

- Theo thanked her for coming and apologized again for being hostile at the funeral.

- after the funeral Theo actually thought of asking Trish out, until Luke stole her car and the whole shenanigan with Hill House happened.

- after Hill House Theo surprised her by texting her to ask her out on a dinner date. Trish got so nervous she was almost late because she couldn’t decide what outfit to wear. (should she go for modest? what if she gets disinterested? Or the sexy one? But it’s supposed to be a date, not a booty call)

- she went for modest in the end. During the dinner they got to know each other. Trish loves Theo’s wit, and Theo likes how warm Trish feels when her bare fingers slid across Trish’s knuckles.

- In fact, Trish only realized Theo wasn’t wearing gloves when Theo took her home. They didn’t have sex that night, but it’s okay. Both knew they are starting something genuine and they are looking forward to it.

- After a few more successful dates, late night texting, sleepovers at each other’s houses, Theo decides it’s time for her to move out with Trish. Trish agrees without hesitation. Shirley is, of course, proud of her little sister (but will forever miss their late night talks and Theo’s never-ending stash of beer).

- After moving in together, Theo never wears the gloves anymore. Not when Trish is always there to hold her hand.
