After all, it’s in our Job Description.
  • In spite of Ruby and Skull Boy having Ship Tease, there are moments of close affection between Ruby and Misery, and also between Ruby and Iris.
    • On Misery's side: There is their duet, "I'm the Dark, I'm the Dawn.", in which they...Tend to get a bit too close to each other. In "Forget Me Not", Ruby notes how lovely Misery smells...while clasping her hands together and staring at Misery in a rather adoring fashion. You can almost hear Misery thinking: "Ruby, Skull Boy is standing right there." Then in "Venus de Gloomsville", Ruby kisses Misery. She has a bucket on her head, and it could be interpreted as just a "friendly" kiss, but still. And if you have a dirty mind, then this blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment in "Unsung Hero" will definitely make you wonder if Iris and Ruby had a...Different kind of relaxation in mind... Sure, the dialogue gives it away quickly, but the look the two give Misery seem strangely...Seductive.
    • On Iris' side: In the dancing sequence at the end of the first episode, everyone else is dancing by themselves while Iris and Ruby are dancing together (in a heart shaped frame, no less). Make of that what you will. In the "Broken Records" episode, everyone tries to "get Ruby and Iris back together". Also, in "Poe-ranoia", when Ruby is in a hurry to deliver a cake to the new neighbor, she bumps into Iris...Who thinks that the cake is for her, and... Well, make of this reaction what you will.
    • At the end of "Hair(less) the Musical", as Ruby is walking through the trolley, she stops by Iris, cups her face, and puts their faces close together while they exchange tender looks.
  • In the Ho Yay department, there's Frank and Len. Frank is not weirded out at all when a hypnotized Len tried to smother him in kisses, they both readily admit to loving each other, and Len has a tendency to turn into a housewife when wearing women's clothes. Ruby has also declared Scaredy and Boo Boo to be a "perfect pair".
