I have a curious question here.
Why is it that people ship these two?
I have nothing against it, but I just never saw any hint of a romance ship between the two.
Any thoughts on that?

because there’s this raw, even humorous sexual energy even before they say anything to each other at all

–come on man

–implicit trust

–bond knows q’s got this and if that ain’t hot

–equal sass/wit
