Summary
The problem comes when Illya enters the bar where they know the mark frequents and spots the telltale ring that they know the mark wears on a figure he decidedly does not expect. The broad shoulders and dark, wavy hair are bad enough, but when the man turns slightly Illya’s breath catches in his throat at the sight of his chiseled jaw and the small cleft in his chin.
Briefly, he considers how amusing it might have been to watch Napoleon attempt to charm his own doppelgänger, but the thought quickly fades in the face of the reality of the situation. The reality is that now he will need to seduce someone who so resembles the man who has lodged himself so thoroughly between his ribs, and who is so completely, utterly off limits for reasons too myriad to list.
(Illya finds an unexpected way of dealing with his unfortunate attraction to his partner, never mind that it is certain to cause far more problems than it solves)

Summary
“If you had some terminal disease and you only had months to live, you wouldn’t only tell some people but hide it from me, right?” Gaby says as she leans a little closer to him.
Nope, that didn’t really help. Napoleon’s brow furrows and he tips his head at her in confusion. “…No? Is this some kind of strange philosophical game, or does this line of questioning have a point?”
“Illya’s been extra nice to you lately,” she accuses, like he has anything to do with it.
(Illya's always been a considerate partner, but when he starts doing even more nice things for Napoleon, it's a little confusing. And distressing, given how Napoleon is sure that he definitely doesn't mean it like that.)

Summary
Then there’s the apron. On one hand, it makes sense: Napoleon can be pretty precious about his clothes, so obviously he’d want to protect them. Even so, there’s something about Napoleon wearing one that makes Illya’s mind skip like a broken record. The top is too narrow on his broad chest, and the way it’s cinched in the back just emphasizes his tapered waist, like some parody of daintiness that doesn’t fit Napoleon Solo at all. And yet, somehow he looks like he belongs in it, like it’s the most natural thing in the world.
(Napoleon wears a lot of random aprons. Illya never expected to be affected by such things. Or, five times Illya sees Napoleon in an apron and has thoughts about it, and one time he acts on those thoughts.)

Summary
“You are stupid man,” Illya murmurs. His fingers tighten, digging into the soft flesh, though Napoleon can’t tell if it’s meant to be a threat or if the movement is involuntary. A conditioned response, maybe. “Not a single instinct for self-preservation.”
Napoleon swallows against the pressure on his throat and meets Illya’s gaze unwaveringly. “Not when it comes to you,” he says, his voice slightly hoarse. “Tell me you don’t want me, that you don’t want this, and I’ll walk away.”
(What really makes a person “dangerous”? Or, 4 times Illya and Napoleon were warned that the other person was dangerous, and 1 when they decided it was worth the risk.)

Summary
He should have run the other way as soon as Illya refused to answer his question of ‘why’, or at the very least put the shields up around his heart. Instead he looked deep into the icy blue eyes of a man who should be his enemy—who he’s already too far gone on—and took a leap of faith.
Napoleon Solo does not operate on faith. What the fuck is he doing?
(What they have is a mutually satisfying arrangement and nothing more, and Napoleon tells himself he's fine with that. That is, until he can't pretend that's the truth any longer.)
