#My smartphone screen melts from every scene of Lucy and Lockwood

Lockwood: George, look! "Decider" wrote an article about me and Lucy! I wonder what they might have written about us... Maybe it has something to do with our last case?

*reads*

Lockwood & Co. leads have more chemistry between them than 99.99% of the couples on TV. When they look at each other, you can feel the ache of unspoken desire, the tenderness of true connection, and good, old-fashioned teenaged nerves. If you’re not watching Lockwood & Co. and screaming at the screen that Lucy and Lockwood should just kiss already, you’re far more dead than any of the ghosts these teens are hunting.

And, of course, Lucy and Lockwood clearly, obviously, very much are destined to fall in love. And kiss.

From the moment that a downtrodden, but defiant Lucy and the besuited (as if a classic professional suit could double as full-plate armor) Lockwood meet, I felt the sparks. It’s in the way that they lock eyes and size each other up in every scene. It’s how they organically fall into a familiar banter in their earliest jobs and call each other out on their trauma in later episodes. It’s in how they move around each other — tender, but teasing — and how they clearly should be kissing already.

Therefore Lucy and Lockwood both behave with a bit more maturity than most teens, but they’re still teens. They might feel things a bit more deeply, have learned to compartmentalize their emotions with a bit more tact, but they’re still teens. They’re nervous, horny, and still not fully-formed. The way their could-be romance plays out in flickers has more heat than some balls-to-the-wall erotic thriller.

Specifically, Lucy and Lockwood…who, I’m sorry, but should totally kiss.

George: And what is this article about?

Lockwood:

Lockwood: o////o

George: Are you okey?
