Ignorance is bliss, but bliss is boring

And after Jessie kisses him she presses it back on

They rarely kiss the way they did in TS5; that only happens when emotions are running particularly high. Otherwise it's a peck on the cheek or a quick kiss goodnight when Bonnie is out of the room getting ready for bed.

The first time Buzz kissed her without her initiating it, she got very excited. It was unexpected even after they got together, and she was so proud of him for making a move that she couldn't shut up about it.

They show affection mostly through touch: if one of them is struggling, the other probably has a hand on their shoulder or their back. If Jessie is particularly happy or excited, she's holding onto his arm or jostling his shoulders. Their friends are surprised his arm hasn't popped off again, but it could still happen at any time.

Despite that, he knows to hold back on physical touch when she has a panic attack. He doesn't talk much during them either, just enough that she knows he's there. There's no exact routine to them; it depends on the timing and the circumstances, but generally he has to wait nearby for it to pass. Once she starts to regulate her breathing again, she'll usually reach for his hand. If it's a particularly bad one, she might be curled up on the floor for a while. Eventually she'll put a hand out in front of her, and that means she wants him to hold it. Then he'll stay literally at arm's length until she's ready to get closer.

They rarely say "I love you" in those words. It's all in what they do. They'll say it when they feel it needs to be said, but after dancing around that for a decade they accidentally mastered nonverbal communication with each other. Jessie has claimed that if Buzz never said it out loud again she wouldn't even notice. He's just that obvious.

Jessie will use a casual term of endearment now and then; Buzz tried it once and for some reason it just sounded weird to both of them. After they're married, he might call her "honey" once in a while, and it somehow sounds more natural.

After TS5, Jessie will occasionally forget that they're "married." It's not even really because it happened in Bonnie and Blaze's imagination, more because it just didn't change a whole lot in their dynamic and everyday life. She's more than happy to call him her husband and for him to call her his wife, but she sees it less as a change in their relationship and more as an affirmation of it.

They never have a blowout fight, but if an argument gets heated, they have to keep their distance for a while. Jessie knows how she can get, and if it hasn't escalated too much already, she's able to catch herself and walk away until she cools off. When it has escalated, Buzz will recognize it and be the one to remove himself.

This whole next section will almost certainly become a fic at some point, but again, I don't think that'll happen in the immediate future. So if you want an outline, here ya go:
