showing characters are in love without actually saying it

• looks that last just a little longer than they should
• constantly thinking about each other
• they stand next to each other without even thinking about it
• jealousy
• lovers’ quarrel (they fight, get angsty, and then both make up after, yknow the usual)
• always worried about each other
• lingering touches
• both subtly act a bit different when the other is around
• protectiveness
• they both know exactly how to comfort each other in the best way
• smiles that last long after what’s been said (“why are you still smiling?” “hmm? what? what smile?”)
• small touches
