So.. this is gonna sound kind of weird, but I have two characters. I was going to have the younger one have a crush on the other, but the other is too old for them, so I was gonna have him let her down easy by saying she's too young for him. I still want to do that, but the more I think of it, the more I like the ship (if they were closer in age) and I want them to get married, but with the age gap it's still kinda creepy.
I want it to be right now the age gap is too big, but when they are adults it's not as big.
Right now, there is a 7 year age gap. that's a bit too much even when they are both adults. she is 17 and he is 24. I want her to still be 17, so how much younger should I make him??
