Romance: I wouldn't say these short stories are steamy hot in a sexual sense, but the romantic scenes are definitely filled with some flirting, sexual tension, and suggestive, humorous comments.

Fighting, miscommunication, awkwardness, and status add to the mixture, as the characters mingle and sometimes remain single.
