So my best friends' grandma told me this story once about how she met her husband. She said that he was her older brother's best friend. They'd basically all grown up together, though she was about 4 years younger. They would always tease her mercilessly. To her, she was just her older brother's annoying friend.
He was drafted in WWII as soon as he was old enough, so she didn't really see him after that. I’m pretty sure he sent her brother letters, and always had something for her in them, teasing her most likely, to keep her optimistic. But when he came back from the war, of course he was older and more mature. When they met again they both had a moment like “holy crap, they’re beautiful and amazing and kind.” They knew each other so well, but they both had a sudden realization that they were attracted to the other. Eventually, after some wooing, they started dating and then got married.
I'd love to see something like this with Newt and Graves. Except I suppose they both go to war (of course WWI). Maybe they even see each other again a few years into the war out in the theatre instead of back at home, and all of their soldier buddies are like, wait. That's you're best friend’s brother? But he's so hOT. Or they finally have a reunion after the war and they’re just so relieved to see each other.
