we should talk. About Napoleon being protective over Gaby. Like in two situations - one where she is in physical danger and he just protects her or shields her from the danger. And the simpler one - where someone says something rude to her and Napoleon goes into Protective Mode™. Just Gaby and Napoleon frienship (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

Aww yessss!! I love them so so much, you have no idea!! You probably do, but anyway

Also we can always talk abt Gaby and Napoleon, please feel free to yell in my inbox whenever you want to!!

She’d be so angry with him though, can you imagine? “You know, I appreciate your concern, but you really don’t need to get shot for me.” Or: “Listen, I know you won’t accept losing your partner, but can you please take care of yourself? I don’t need you dying of hypothermia.” Or: “If you get shot for me one more time, I swear I’ll be the one behind the trigger the next time.”

I can see him intervening when it’s necessary, but leaving Gaby her space as well. More like: “I’m sure you can handle this, but here have the reminder I support you endlessly.” Or: “Go on, kick their ass, I won’t hold you back.”

Of course he’ll always keep an eye open for her, but he doesn’t strike me as someone who completely shields her. Until the moment she’s scared. Her being terrified doesn’t happen often, but when it does, he’s there.

(Also he’s the best at giving hugs. He wraps her up in his arms and strokes through her hair when she presses her cheek against his chest.)

HC: Napoleon has a horrible nightmare in which Illya dies. Not on a mission or anything like that, he just dies. And in the morning when Napoleon enters the kitchen he goes straight for Illya ignoring Gaby and Waverly (they were all in a safehouse, because of a mission) and hugs him, basically colliding with him. It's also their first hug. Napoleon just had to feel that Illya is okay. Illya is really freaking confused, but hugs back.

This is so so adorable!! (Let’s ignore the angsty part because !!!!)

I don’t really know what to add to this one, but imagine Napoleon not letting go of Illya for a while because being near him grounds him. Gaby grins so hard she forgets her coffee is still hot and burns her tongue. Waverly hides his confusion behind his newspaper, but refrains from saying anything. Illya meanwhile has a small existential crisis because Napoleon’s hair smells super nice and because he wants to bury his nose in it.

OK BUT IMAGINE THIS: illya, gaby and solo are either on a mission or just between them, but either way they are together in the city. and they see a crying child on the street, and everyone is passing the kid, not doing anything. and to illya's and gaby's surprise it is napoleon who comes up to the kid, crouches next to him/her, asks what's wrong, lets himself be hugged by the crying child, strokes their hair and helps them find their parents. illya and gaby are amazed how he deals with kids.

Okay but imagine not making me cry. This is fantastic!!

To Illya’s and Gaby’s amazement, he sits down on the sidewalk, expensive suit suddenly forgotten. His posture is open and relaxed and his smile warm. Napoleon’s never like this around other agents and while he offers his partners glimpses behind his masks, he has abandoned them completely around the child.

When they stand up together, the child latches onto his hand and doesn’t let go. Napoleon is a little bit surprised - Illya can tell by the way his brows wander upwards - but smiles down nonetheless.

After about ten minutes of searching, the kid gets anxious and asks how they’re supposed to find their parents. “I’m a trained spy,” Napoleon says and Gaby nearly trips over her own feet. 

The kid just stares at Napoleon, wide-eyed and awed. “Wow.”

imagine boys falling asleep together (at the begining of their partnership, when they are honestly just friends, still) because they were tired, and then one of them waking up from a nightmare and waking the other up in the process.

ahdjsja oh no!! Poor boys!!

Let’s say Napoleon wakes up from Illya having a nightmare. I don’t know why, but I can picture him talking loudly or screaming, and trashing a bit. He mostly dreams of his past, of the things he was forced to do.

To both of their luck Napoleon doesn’t need to shake him awake - a touch to his shoulder and Illya jolts upright. He blinks and apologises, but Napoleon silences him and asks him if he wants to talk about it. Since they trust each other, Illya tells him about his dream and they spend the night with hushed conversations, Napoleon’s arm around Illya.

When Illya wakes up from Napoleon having a nightmare, it’s much more violent. He trashes in his sleep and shouts for friends long gone. Illya doesn’t know what to do and gets smacked in the face for his troubles.

He needs to shake Napoleon awake and hugs him immediately afterwards because he can’t stand his shocked expression. Napoleon shakes against him like leaves in the wind and tells him about his nightmare. He doesn’t dream that often, but when he does, it’s of his days in the army and of the things he has seen. Illya nods along and tries to listen as good as possible, he doesn’t really know what else to do, but when Napoleon falls asleep again, he counts it as a win.

uncle ask: so imagine (when they were still just friends) boys getting a mission assigned together, but waverly also gives them a third (male) agent to help. and illya seems to really like this guy, he keeps saying stuff like "finally a competent american" and "if only it was so easy with you, cowboy" mainly to just tease and mess with napoleon. but napoleon gets really jealous. like really really jealous. because illya is HIS friend damnit! he doesn't want this new guy to steal their friendship

Awww poor Napoleon!I can see him go "y'know what? I'm a bad person anyway so he's better off with that new guy." Napoleon doesn't strike me as a real jealous person for some reason, more of that person who accepts silently their friends are moving on to someone "better".So I can see him stopping to joke around Illya and to retreat silently. And to accept he'll never be some people care about. I mean, of course he doesn't like it, but that's not something he can control. Their new colleague has a great sense of humour, he'll have to give him that, but damn if he doesn't loathe him for taking away his friend.

a concept: Napoleon's hair smelling really nice, because he uses a nice shampoo and conditioner. Illya founding out about this when Napoleon rests his head on his shoulder in the car and falls asleep, so his head slides a little bit and suddenly Napoleon is just resting against Illya's chest. At first Illya stiffens. He is not used to people invading his personal space, but on the other hand Solo has become his best friend. So he relaxes, takes a deep breath and smells his hair.

AAAAAWWW!! Super soft and super good!! 

Another concept: Napoleon leaning against him more often from that moment on (and after he woke up to Illya smiling down at him) and Illya taking comfort in his closeness and the smell of his hair. 

A third concept: Gaby taking a picture of the boys when they’re asleep - Napoleon leaning against Illya. Illya with his face in Napoleon’s hair.

i can't help but imagine napoleon & illya on a mission somewhere super cold, and napoleon's cheeks getting really red. illya thinks "holy shit that's adorable" and in that moment he realizes he thinks of solo as more than a friend.

Awww that’s super adorable!!

Maybe he also can’t stop grinning and doesn’t know why? And Illya discovers he wants to hug Napoleon and to cuddle up with him.

Maybe he can’t quite stop looking at Napoleon. It leads to him being a little less careful, which is exactly the reason why he lands on his ass - too much ice (even though he should be used to it).

And maybe he wants to be embarrassed about it, but figures Napoleon’s laugh is worth making a fool out of himself. And in the end, he just laughs along.

can you imagine a drunk Illya leaning on Napoleon and being like "you're so soft" and "you smell nice" while Napoleon gets really warm inside, because Illya is affectionate!! nice!! because Napoleon is of course silently pining.

Omg yes!! I can so see this happening!!Secretly, Illya's like: "I can blame this on the alcohol later." bc of course he's pining as well. He also feels safe around Napoleon and he smells nice and why isn't he hugging him? (Illya is probably the most cuddly drunk ever.)
