Thanks to Nat who felt my icons were a trifle stale. :) Whee!
I have a question that's been asked before (what a surprise). I was thinking, of Napoleon and Illya, supposing they found themselves realizing that (despite, perhaps, having never found a man sexually attractive before) they were very attracted to their partner. Which of them, do you think, would have most trouble expressing it? Not so much admitting it to himself (I think they'd be neck and neck with that) but admitting it to the other (if he believed the other to be straight)? I was thinking that because I have this image in my head of Napoleon as the braver of the two in that sort of circumstance. He'd just say it, damn the consequences. Whereas Illya, though equally brave in general, would be less inclined to admit it aloud -- because of the consequences.

Re: my two cents on the straight and gay question
As to coming out per se that would certainly be the case. More usually in slash, however, they have sexual feelings for each other, so just coming out and agreeing to be friends with separate sex lives isn't going to quite fix the problem. How they act on said feelings has been told in slash fanfic from both Napoleon and Illya's POV; one of them eventually makes the first move, and it's farily equally divided as to which of them does so.
