Aphmau[]
Laurance has always been a very big Casanova, speaking his feelings for Aphmau frequently, which often ends up in them making a joke of it or in a subject change. At first his advances seemed playfully flirtatious in a very noncommittal and joking way, but later it became clear that he really did love Aphmau, ultimately ending up with his sacrifice of staying behind in the Nether. After his return, the two ended up becoming very good friends and often joked around and had fun. In season two, Laurance still had open feelings towards Aphmau but it simply sat at a very happy and content friendship as he felt it would be unfair to court her while Garroth was trapped in the Irene Dimension after sacrificing himself to help the other escape. But he still loves her ever since the day they met and still hopes of making her his someday. Aphmau has kissed Laurance when she was going to get married to the werewolf prince but then Laurance slaughtered them all and shared a kiss with Aphmau. Later on, Laurance still continued to be romantic and kissed Aphmau. He does, however, show jealousy when she shows affection towards another guy such as Aaron or Travis.
Towards the end of the second season, his relationship with Aphmau is not as great as it had once been, with him spending long amounts of time away from her due to the Calling. After he finds out that Aphmau is pregnant with Aaron's baby, he leaves and isn't seen again until "The Angel Irene" where he answers the Calling and enters the Nether.
When they meet again in season three, Laurance doesn't seem to want anything to do with Aphmau as he seems to hate her for betraying him and breaking his heart. However, it is possible he may still harbor feelings for her, as he is seen trying to keep her hidden and protected from Shad.
Garroth[]
Laurance often pokes fun at Garroth about his feelings towards Aphmau. Though they may admire the same woman, that doesn't stop them from being friends in the least. They don't have a rivalry, or even act bitter towards one another -- in fact, they both state on separate occasions that they felt like brothers. Laurance, Dante, and Garroth all mesh well, as best friends and as guards.
Katelyn[]
It is shown that in Season 2 of Minecraft Diaries, that Laurance and Katelyn have a close relationship with each other. In the episode "The Jury's Bane", Katelyn asks Aphmau to talk to Sasha after having visited her, where she started talking as if she knew more about Laurance than the others. She then states: "Look, I normally don't care what he does. Laurance can take care of himself, but he's been acting different since we arrived on the island." This moment shows that Katelyn has been looking out for him and watching over him. Laurance X Katelyn (Laurlyn) was a large ship during the early days of Katelyn's arrival into the series due to the Slumber Party (Side Stories), where the girls are talking about who the hottest guy in Phoenix Drop is, and Katelyn states, "Pardon me for saying this, but... Laurance trumps them all.". Kawaii~Chan also used to ship this in the early days of MyStreet, but it was quick to be shut down by Katelyn. In Fall Carnival Days, which is part of the Autumn Minecraft Side Stories, Laurance notices that Katelyn isn't having the best time and says, "Geez... Katelyn really seems down about this festival... did she have a bad experience or something?". He then goes on to advise Aphmau to show Katelyn a good time by saying: "Why don't you take Katelyn around and show her how to have a good time at the carnival."
Cadenza[]
Cadenza and Laurance are very close. They grew up together as siblings, having been adopted by the same parents. They know each other very well and are protective of one another, and all in all, are great siblings to each other.
Chicken Shaman Castor[]
Laurance has known Castor for a long time, since the Chicken Shaman had always been near Meteli. It's a bit of a strange friendship, Castor frequently asking where "Laurance's stupid face" is. But they do enjoy talking and catching up, so they're more "friendly acquaintances" than anything. Laurance also owes Castor five dollars, however the reason for this is currently unknown. (Castor lowered it to two dollars when Laurance sacrificed himself to save him in Season 1, Episode 40. Apparently, if you sacrifice yourself and are Castor's friend, you get a "friend discount".)
Hayden[]
Hayden, the old Lord of Meteli, adopted Laurance as a young orphan and raised him with his daughter, Cadenza. Laurance treats him just like if he were his birth father, and vice versa. Even though Laurance is adopted, the three of them are no doubt, a loving and caring family.
Dante[]
Like Garroth, Laurance is good friends with Dante and consider each other as brothers.
Dante trusted specifically Laurance in taking a gift to Nicole and Dante confided in him about Nicole, showing a bond between them even after 15 years had passed.[1] Laurance, however, doesn't see himself quite as close to Dante, acknowledging that he can't be there to comfort Dante and that Dante wasn't waiting 15 years to see him.[2]
Ungrth[]
Ungrth was a very good friend of Laurance's. Although it is often said that Laurance met Ungrth while he was an adult, this is not true. According to a conversation Laurance and Aphmau had in Season 1, Episode 37, Ungrth has actually been a friend of Laurance's family for several generations. However, whether Laurance meant his adoptive family or biological family is unconfirmed. In the end, Ungrth sacrificed his life to get Laurance out of the Nether to end his suffering. From then on, Laurance would regularly visit Ungrth's grave to honor and remember him.
Sasha[]
Sasha and Laurance have been close friends since childhood, with Laurance saying she was the only girl he could talk to without sounding like a 'total prick' (Season 1 Episode 38). They worked together as guards in Meteli before Sasha was killed by Gene. She was like a mentor to him during his time in the Nether and he still cares for her, as can be seen from the way he helped her escape at the end of season two.
Vylad[]
Vylad and Laurance have a close relationship throughout the series. Aside from Aphmau, Vylad is the only one who can help Laurance to calm down when he is enraged and/or in his Shadow Knight form. The two first met in the Nether, after Laurance had told Aphmau and Castor to run and save themselves. Vylad had shut the portal leading to the overworld and gotten the two captured by Shadow Knights. It is known that the two were close during the time they spent in the Nether and that Laurance was the only one who would come and speak with Vylad and he seems to hold a fondness towards him. It is also known that Laurance had promised to help Vylad escape from where he was imprisoned but he was unable to due to Ungrth breaking the realm barrier to get him out, something he apologizes for in S2 EP38. During season 2, Vylad spends a lot of time helping Laurance control his Shadow Knight form/abilities. The two spend time engaging in meditation on the beach too and Vylad tracks Laurance whenever he wanders off to stop him from harming himself or others.
