leethetThanks 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.

Indeed why? If Napoleon were gay he'd still prefer Illya, in whatever guise, as his partner, even if he were sorely tempted by him.
