i really liked that part. so sweet. but i wonder how it would be if they were a couple though? would faye lose her flair? i don't know. i guess it all depends on what jeph does. but i really do hope they end up together in the end :wink:

I have to agree here, I remember getting annoyed when Dora kissed Martin, because I think that Faye really needs someone to love... And now there's Sven!
thumbcat:
Unfortunately, as much as I think Faye and Sven have the right chemistry to be together in a more serious sense - e.g. that he's sassy enough to not put up with her crap and she's just expectant enough to require him to grow up - I do believe that this current itteration is going to go drama-tits-up.
Scenarios in order of my idea of likelihood:
1. Sven will fall in bed with the intern and Faye will walk in on them/find out immediately in some terribly akward way. Faye will be terribly hurt and super angry and probably isolate herself somewhere to cry after storming off. Sven may or may not feel really bad for hurting her - he will get a holocaust-bad chewing out by his sister. He may realize that he a) likes her and made a stupid mistake, or b) is only her friend and has hurt her and made a terrible mistake, or c) is really an asshole the way she thinks he is, doesn't like or dislike her, and drop into self-pity and change, or d) shrug it off like a complete asshole.
2. Faye will crack and have the "talk" with him in an attempt to generate some safe distance. She will angst about it, talk to her shrink and Dora about it, Dora may or may not be sympathetic but not the right way and Faye will turn to anger to deal with her discomfort. This talk may even be precipitated by the intern - Faye has a habit of obsessing about small details and she may leave today and begin building up scenarios that piss her off - this might generate her need to put distance up. I don't think Sven will react well to the distance thing, I think it will poke him in the ego and he'll retaliate by acting like a jerk - like he doesn't care or her distance is unimportant to him. They'll both be bitter and somewhat angsty about it and will not want to talk about it to anyone - while the secretly fume and or think about it in off moments.
3. Least likely: Faye will get uncomfortable and crack and Sven really wont care about it. Faye will be confused and hurt, especially if Sven picks up with someone quickly afterwards - like the intern - and will do some introspective work, probably will be sassy and awful to Sven in general, but it wont cause undue drama.
Either way, I don't think this friends with bennies situation is good for either of them - and I'm not a person with a grudge against friends with bennies - I just think that Sven's ego is too fragile, he cares too much about Faye as a person (she's not an object in his life, though he's trying hard to make her into one and may be succeeding), and Faye is too emotionally damaged to handle the perceived rejection/betrayal that the inevitable state change of friends with bennies brings up - that is, when Sven starts seeing someone else.
Siibillam-Law:
I reckon option number two seems like the most likely in my opinion.

All I could think about as I read this was "S-stupid Faye... it's not like I like you or anything... ~tsundere~"
Clearly I've been on 4chan too long.

Ah, the old "not what it looks like" plot twist? Sadly, the only thing I could think of when you mentioned that was the many shonen I've read over my life. Sooo many of the convoluted twists could easily be serviced with a small helping of Fridge Logic(http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FridgeLogic), a slap, and a hearty yawp of "BITCH PLEASE!"(both genders too).
