Exactly! DFC is so effing shippable it's not even funny. :D I mean, I totally ship him and his mic stand, sometimes it gets to intense those two should get a room. xD

But I think we've nailed the reasons why Cook/Cowell works. I think also the age difference plays a part in it, it brings this sort of "forbidden" aspect to it. And because Cook is so young, hot and passionate and Cowell is older, calm and collected, I can sorta see why he would lust after someone like Cook. And the tension it creates is hot and intriguing.

Gosh, I never realized I was this deep into this ship. xD
