hell yeah it counts! tbh that’s how i ship them. i think lxmisa is the bomb diggity, and that personality-wise they’d get on quite well, and also that they’d bang the bejeezus out of each other, but i’m not sure i could see them being in love?

like obviously with enough character/relationship development but my heart still clings to platonic/sexual best friendliest for them I DON’T KNOW WHY???
