Why Sleepy Hollow's Ichabod and Abbie Are Meant to Be

Updated on Sep 29, 2014 at 12:52 PM

Sleepy Hollow's second season premiered last week, and aside from naked Benjamin Franklin and Ichabod fighting with a demon version of himself, we were treated to some quality Ichabbie time. If you're not familiar, Ichabbie is the term for the (hopefully romantic) relationship between Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison) and Abbie Mills (Nicole Beharie). Yes, Ichabod has a wife, but she's so 200 years ago — and she's been captured by the Headless Horseman, anyway. More room for Ichabbie to flourish! Don't forget, the cast hinted at some "romantic bombs" to come this season. Take a look through all these GIFs, and just try to tell me you aren't rooting for them to get together.

Here's Ichabod. He needs a little help . . . with life.

He seriously doesn't know what a loofah is.

But he's got a friend in Abbie, his "leftenant."

Sometimes he takes her for granted a bit.

As in, he can be superrude.

Abbie can dish it back though, so she doesn't mind.

They work as a pretty good team together, in fact.

And sometimes their partnership borders on, dare I say, intimate territory?

It's like they've known each other in a past life.

Abbie does adorable things, like bake Ichabod patriotic birthday cupcakes.

And their embraces are second to none.

He even passionately hugs her in front of his wife, which is awkward.

But look at them! You can't stay mad at that.

Abbie's family totally approves . . . sort of.

Yes, he's got a lot of sass and maybe isn't ready for a new relationship.

All the sass.

Then again, the way he looks at Abbie . . .

. . . Just makes it seem like maybe he's into it.

Abbie is like a gift to him!

He says ridiculous things, and she doesn't even flinch.

She's really the only person that can yell at Ichabod and get away with it.

Look at that slight breeze! This shouldn't go to waste.

She's definitely undressing him with her eyes.

At the end of the day . . .

. . . He really just needs someone to hang out with.

Big sigh, everyone.
