This next arc of their relationship isn't them getting together, or even them taking the whatever the hell the next step is "supposed" to be. It's straight up them just realizing oh wait we are actually already really dating.
Like, damn, everyone literally everyone just registers them as a formal couple, except for these two lovable morons, and frankly considering the average length of these chapters they're still realizing their feelings miles before most romcom couples.
Half waiting for someone to just point out y'all datin.
