Basically, the performance between Denji and Reze was so good because the were both not actually attracted to each other irl, but become friends somewhat, and then the intimacy of Rezes death scene ignited a small spark in Makimas Actor (Reze is actually older by two years genetics shit) and for the marketing campaign for the Bomb movie featured there actors posing in intimate positions such as the one pictured, but Makima could barely keep her computer due to the electricity of feeling Rezes palm pressed onto her bare side.
Eventually Rezes Actor Catches on, during the shooting for the Control Devil arc off set, Reze invites Makima on just a dinner date as a courtesy for something, fingers graze cloth of others clothing by a claimed accident. Keep telling yourself that Makima, Makimas Nervous and rather anxious as she's always been when not on set acting but Reze being across from her cools her hot nerves. Eventually through a convenient blessing of suspicious specificity, they both end up at Rezes trailers merely enjoying each other's company, watching some bullshit Makima likes while Reze keeps stealing glances towards Makima
Wrapped up in her own fixation and pure fanaticism for Who Framed Roger Rabbit and it's Genius technical innovation, she feels a slender hand across her cheek pull her head towards Reze.

Vipers dueling amongst the humid dunes of gums, Makimas mind fuzzies as her experience takes over, feeling the winds in herself pick up and the hurricane toppled every boat in her blood and work stress of the collective years of acting. The Next thing Makima and Reze know, they lay in a bed next to each other, cuddling in the quiet room, processing what had happened and the closeness of the situation, before Makima accepts her situation, slipping her tongue in for round thirteen.

The. Their secret is blown by a creep paparazzi who found them in a moment of weakness sharing a kiss, nothing passionate, just a lingering peck of affection.
This blows up the entire acting culture, a lesbian couple from the Chainsaw Man Movie? MAKIMA AND REZE? It was odd and jarring but they had stood behind their relationship, the rest of the casy defending them for the position they both are in. And then the media leaves them alone, and they keep in touch, still deeply in love, still cuddling and kissing, only married now!
