They so would. /nods

And yeah, I wouldn't expect them to have a 'traditional' relationship either. Hell, I pretty much don't want that either. His quote could mean anything tho. Ah well, I don't need them to be revealed to be together. I just need her not have a stupid, shoe-horned, extra-dramatic romantic subplot with the Hulk. XD

And seriously, if they sideline their importance to one another, relationship or now, I'll riot. Whichever way you look at it, romance or none, but them being close and linked to one another, this way or that, is canon and I'm goddamn insisting they keep it.

I'll be following my own advice now and take a deeeeeep breath, lol.
