One thing that I really like about Shaw/Root, is that Shaw isn’t really that affected by Root when Root is actively obviously trying to flirt and get a rise out of her. Shaw is however very affected when Root is just being Root.

This woman has tasered me, zip-tied me to a chair, and is now threatening me with an iron. I think I like her this is the perfect time to flirt. 

Root wants to just take out the Bad Guys real quick, grabs two guns, and Shaw is all ‘That was kinda hot.’ 

The Machine tells Root to grab a dead guys keys, Root’s all ‘Okay, no big, you got it boss,’ and Shaw’s reaction is basically ‘She’s hilarious and adorable, and that was awesome.’
