I can't figure her out either. | THEO DIMAS AND MABEL MORA IN 3x07: COBRO

THEOBEL NATION WON AGAIN

Only Murders in the Building is like...that's Mabel, and that's her dad Charles, and that's his boyfriend Oliver, and that's Oliver's son Will, and that's Will's half-brother Theo who is also Mabel's future husband.

They're both two giant nerds and that's why we love them!

[anxiouspotatorants]

Mabel and Theo: *being friends, bantering, giving emotional support, helping each other with tasks, playfully touching each other and smiling and laughing like idiots*

Oscar, Zoe and Tim (and Tobert probably): are you serious? Right in front of our salads?

[fangirls-just-want-to-have-fun]

I’m sorry, Mabel is crashing WHERE?!?!?!

[crescentcampbell]

I JUST WANT TO SEE THEO AND MABEL BEING ROOMMATES AND SLOWLY FALLING IN LOVE, OKAY?

Theo already knows Mabels backstory. They share a lot of the same grief. He's not going to freak out if she's out there solving murders. He'll just be like, "Oh she's late for dinner? Better go figure out where the podcast murder board is," and show up and help with whatever weird hijinks she has gotten into.

Also, I want a whole season of Oliver going, "They're dating," and Charles being like, "They're NOT DATING."

And then Charles sees them out at a restaurant or something and runs to The Arconia and is like, "THEY'RE DATING. THEY'RE DATING! Kissing at the restaurant---"

And Oliver just goes, "I KNEW IT."

That didn’t feel like all we’re gonna get of Theo this season.

And thank goodness, because I’m definitely gonna need more of him and Mabel interacting cutely. Like she’s totally been keeping in touch with him and learning sign language exclusively to talk to him.

I just had the thought...what if Theo asks Mabel to move into 6B so that she can stay in the Arconia and he can have some company/a designated emergency contact while Teddy is in prison? (Assuming I haven't overlooked/forgotten a canon confirmation that the Dimases have permanently moved out, or if they have, if that Theo can't simply sign a new lease for it . Or even move into Sting/Amy Schumer/Ben's old place. Just accept it for the sake of the bit).

Theo and Mabel being roommates (oh my god, they'd be roommates). They'd have their own rooms in the apartment and would respect each other's space, but would undoubtedly spend even more casual time together than they're implied to already do.

It would all start out very platonic, of course. Share a takeout meal once or twice a week (and when the takeout is from Dimas wraps, they'll send the leftover dips to Oliver). Watch a movie together (with closed captioning of course) on Friday nights. Go off into their respective bedrooms and try not think too much about all the times their hands accidentally brushed when they reached for popcorn at the same time.

But how long could they realistically have expected it to stay platonic? When Theo is constantly, intensely watching Mabel's pretty mouth so he can read her lips? When Mabel is equally focused on the rapid movement of Theo's hands as he teaches her new ASL words and allowing her mind to wander in imagination of what exactly those powerful-yet-fluid hands might be capable of in other contexts?

Someday, there will be a terrible wonderful misunderstanding due to the language barrier between them. He'll misread her lips in some crucial way or she'll accidentally say something extremely suggestive in ASL. And then suddenly their lips are meeting and their hands are all over each other. They are communicating, connected in an entirely new way and it's perfect.

And then...flash-forward a couple years, Mabel in wedding dress photos.

Mabel learning sign language to be able to talk to Theo easier is so cute I want them to kiss so bad

[mfjenks]

I don't say anything, but Oliver and Charles seemed to be surprised only with the fact she was "crashing with Theo" as she is dating Tobert, not the fact she communicates with Theo at all, does it mean they know that Mabel and Theo has been chatting for the last year??

[hikarielizabethbloom]

Such a cute first date 😂
