so if two characters are definitely, canonically Not Together. and over the course of the story they don't so much as kiss. but, every time the two of them are alone, the vibes between them are off-the-charts fucky/suggestive/pining/etc. in a way neither of them acknowledges, even to themselves. do you mark that as "A & B" or "A/B"
