** Among the rest of the party, [[ArcherArchetype Vex’ahlia]] [[BirdsOfAFeather and]] [[TheGunslinger Percy]] are among the most consistent with their teasing. They’ve shared the most kisses out of any couple on the show (all but one of them on the cheek), developed a flirtatious rapport in the post-Whitestone arc downtime (complete with joking "I love yous" and affectionate nicknames), and shared a number of sweet moments, including a CooldownHug and a night of tinkering that [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything plays out like a first date.]] [[spoiler: The fact that he accidentally killed her once might throw a wrench into things, though she soon forgave him and they seem to have moved on rather well.]]

** VideoGame/MegaMan and [[CuteMonsterGirl Luca]]'s [[@/{{Etheru}} respective]] [[@/SapphireFlame players]] have a little too much fun with this.

[[{{ShipTease}} The trope]] is invoked when the write teases the possibility of romantic feelings, without explicitly making it canon.

See also: WillTheyOrWontThey, {{Subtext}}, {{Fanservice}}, NeverTrustATrailer, TonightSomeoneKisses, LiterallyFallingInLove, ImpliedLoveInterest. Can end up as a RomanticFalseLead. A best-case scenario is for a pairing to undergo a (canonical) RelationshipUpgrade. Occasionally cheated by way of AllJustADream or AlternateRealityEpisode. Probably the cruelest method of Ship Tease is the MomentKiller. Contrast ShipSinking.
