    Summary

    "Pretend you're Fanny a moment."

    "How'm I meant to do that?"

    Edmund plans to make Fanny an offer of marriage, and he asks his brother Tom to listen to his proposal to ease his nerves. Only, Tom is something of a method actor (as well as an objectively bad one) and his attempt at being a stand in for Fanny Price seems to make it even worse.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    He made it barely outside the building, into the darkest corner between buildings in the setting sun, when he let go of his resistance with a gasp and became Tuxedo Mask again.

    (And, besides, that settled it. Even if he felt the edges of his perception wobble again, he must have been drunk. No way would he come up with a name as stupid as Tuxedo Mask, had he been sober.)
    .
    Usagi had never held anything back from him. Ever. She was the open book, the heart on the sleeve, the I'll-tell-you-all-my-secrets-for-a-smile.

    Why was she hiding this from him?

    He'd decided then and there to wait it out. See if she would figure it out, too. If she would tell him. What else she would do to hide this.

    And well, some of her excuses were bizarre.
    .
    Damn, did she suck at lying.

    Like the time they'd both very obviously heard the giant crash outside, and Usagi had jumped up (from her comfortable perch with her head in his lap and her Nintendo Switch right in her face), yelped that Naru was sick, completely out of nowhere, not even thinking of pretending to have received a text, and almost fell over her own feet trying to get up.

    "What does she have?" he'd helpfully offered, almost cringing as he played along.

    Her eyes had widened and she'd flushed beet-red and her eyes had flicked around in panic before settling on the paper he was reading of all things.

    "Eh, eh—" she'd stuttered, eyes reading on his lap. And then she was cringing before she ever finished mumbling the word, almost defeated. "...Ebola."

    He'd raised an eyebrow, perhaps a bit too slowly, then pointedly looked back down at the medical journal in his lap. Spread open, title upfront.

    Human Antibody Repertoire Following Ebola Virus Infection and rVSVΔG-ZEBOV-GP Vaccine: Assessing the Efficacy of Treatment and Establishing Immunity.
    .
    She'd gone to bed that night thinking her heart might explode from all that rumbling in it, and when she saw him again she took his hand and kind of never let it go.
    .
    Finally the penny dropped. Wait. Her jaw unhinged and she almost sputtered. "Wait, you're describing ME!" she shouted at him.

    His grin turned wider, almost triumphant, and he stepped back up to her, even closer now, his chest now almost touching hers. "A bit oblivious," he said with the smirkiest smirk yet, tilting his head down at her.

    She gaped. The gall of this man!

    "Tuxedo Mask, I TOLD YOU I HAVE A BOYFRIEND," she hissed, and pushed at his chest.

    He groaned. Face to the sky. Exasperated.
    .
    in the previous weeks, apart from having encountered and being miraculously cured of ebola among other ridiculous things, Naru had apparently also accidently boarded a wrong Shinkansen in the middle of the night and needed picking up by his very much non-driving girlfriend, had no clean clothes because her washing machine mysteriously exploded and was thus in dire need of Usagi's (none of which Usagi took with her when running out), suspected her apartment building was haunted and needed Usagi's opinion, and also someone stole all her shoes.

    Weeks and weeks and weeks of this, of running out of sushi belt restaurants and leaving him alone with a full tray of the new springtime sakura themed special limited edition Starbucks drinks to be sampled that she always made such a fuss over every year and he despised, of jumping out of running showers and their warmed bed, and of stuttering so hard and so flushed he was worried she might get an aneurysm before this was out.

    But despite all this idiocy, his girl was an absolute badass.
    .
    She dropped him.

    He shrieked as he fell, but thankfully she'd already been landing anyway, and so he didn't fall that far, but rubbed his tailbone in discomfort.

    "Hey!" he yelped anyway, and looked back up, and…

    Well. No. What a stupid, stupid idea this had been.

    Usagi didn't get it. Not at all. And she'd also never, in all their years together and whatever he had done, looked at him with such undiluted rage.

    He flinched.

    Nope. Not at all. And now, because he was an idiot, his girlfriend - who was Already Very Jealous In General - thought he flirted with scantily clad superheroines for funsies.
    .
    "CHIBA MAMORU, YOU'RE IN A COMMITTED RELATIONSHIP, GODDAMMIT!" she yelled, storming at him, his jacket flying around her, and he ducked for cover even when her index finger was already poking right into that sensitive area just below his sternum.

    "I am, yes," he croaked, and started to sweat. "Very much."

    With every word, he took a step backwards. Back to the main street, back to where people were and thus less opportunity for murder.

    Summary

    Ghost isn’t any good with emotions, and Gaz doesn’t quite have the right combination of confidence and recklessness Soap does to cozy up right out the gate, but they’ve worked together long enough that their camaraderie runs deep. Besides, they have their own ways of showing their affections.

    or

    four times ghost & gaz care for each other quietly, and one time it's a little louder
