Yes, I unfortunately REALLY love this pairing. Although personally I do prefer them being "bros", "compadres" (CLOSE FRIENDS NOT CO-PARENTING THAT'S AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT THING)

Have it be queerplatonic, bromance, pure platonic. Whatever, those two are the closest I'll ever get to a canon pairing because my taste in ships is just. 28 x 36 and that is literally devoid of anything in canon.

I WAS COPING WITH STEPS VERSUS SQUARES. I LITERALLY WENT SCREENSHOT BY SCREENSHOT TO SEE IF 28 WOULD SMILE FIRST AT 36. Although I guess I don't have to do that now since she is outright the only one who full one wide eyes and looks exited when 36 showed up in Friendly Fours Beach Day and I'm taking that over whatever I was on with steps Versus Squares

(I have it unlisted because frankly. It feels embarrassing to post it publicly on such an old account I don't use at all. Just go on Google, Chrome, whatever software engine you use and type the URL in, it'll work)

I just gotta love them as a duo

Random fun fact,, I actually cycled a couple 14 and 18 ships before landing with these two.

When I first started out, I briefly liked 13x14 (I don't anymore because the unlucky x lucky trope just, does not work for me. BUT, I like how sometimes when 13 is ABOUT to go to pieces, 14 is usually the one who prevents that from happening, see On Your Heads, Eighteen -by technicality- and maybe there's more who knows.

Then for like the tiniest bit, I liked 17x18 (I couldn't possibly tell you why. I wrote a fic about the two as well and it burns in my memory.)

I think I joked about 14 x 26 at some point but it was never serious and then I thought about these two and it stuck, a little too well

All the prime numbers above 11 ceased existing in series seven since it was a factors oriented series (I'm getting like, 24 in Super Eights in my head right now and it's so funny how this chunky Numberblock poses I don't know. It was a funny episode because of the way it was compositioned and the dynamics of it because of how much more chunkier everyone got after 24)
