hidden relationship;

The fact that you're in a relationship with this person isn't public knowledge. Actually, no one knows about it except for the people involved. Maybe you guys are just private like that; on the other hand, it may be a necessity to keep things a secret from others. Maybe you're both team mates, and others on the team would give you grief, or you're not supposed to be dating, or you're not the type to usually date and you're only testing the waters. Perhaps it's the combination of you two, possibly an odd couple, that would bring some controversy or some teasing. Or, you know, you could not want to deal with friends and relatives being busybodies. Your reasons are your own.

Are you content with stealing moments to be together as a couple? Do you want to make your relationship known and the fact that you can't drives you batty? Remember, there are lots of benefits to dating in secret. You can be yourselves completely, away from prying eyes, and get to know each other better as potential longterm romantic partners. In a way, it's ideal.

...still, do you ever wish you could scream from the rooftops how much you care for your significant other?

how to play.

(ooc | The first portion of canon has Alex as a spy so any true relationship would have to be a secret. )

[18+ as appropriate]

[There are def some ship configurations that could cause issues among the team, and there's just the whole dating a dude thing that someone could prefer to keep under wraps.]

[ so, it's one of the ever-popular joint practices! as usual, samezuka is hosting, and after the initial explanation of the day's training regimen, things get underway!

of course, everyone doesn't set off at once. the group of people still waiting beside the pool for their turn to get started dwindles gradually... before long, nearly everyone's in the water, except for the very last two. in fifteen seconds, it'll be time for them to dive in, too. but until then, it's just the two of them. ]

...So?
What's the plan?

The plan?

[Nagisa blinks at his very very clandestine boyfriend in innocent confusion - or feigned innocent confusion, rather, because he knows damn well that Ai's question is justified. No, he's not indiscreet enough to give them away with a careless mistake, but he's also such an incorrigible tease and prankster that he can't expect anyone to assume that.

But is he still going to tease Ai, reasonable concern or not? Heck yes, he is.]

Is there something different about this practice I didn't hear about, Ai-chan? Did you change strokes?!

[ So what if you're Spider-Man's girlfriend but not Peter Parker's? ]

[YO. if you want i have this girl who also projects heroine persona onto her public image "D.Va" and keeps hana song more subdued.

she would definitely want to keep any relationship a secret from everyone. esp if they're both trying to save lives.]

[ ooooh yes please! Options that immediately jump to mind: Using crime fighting as 'dates', maybe doing the whole engineering bit and getting all shmoopy in the middle of mecha guts, maybe have one of those moments where one of them is hurt in battle and the other one is like 'i wanna cry 'cos i love you but also not because everyone is looking.'

Plus like a million others.]
