" Love is patient … "

After 15 years, it finally happened — Carly and Freddie shared a kiss and decided to be together on last week’s new episode of theiCarlyreboot, a long-awaited step forward for them.

The episode, titled “iMake New Memories,” found Carly finally telling Freddie how she feels about him — feelings which he’s, of course, had on and off for herforever.

To catch you up to speed: On the reboot, Carly has had feelings for Freddie, but since he just got out of a relationship, he told her they needed to be friends — and after a series of miscommunications, both Carly and Freddie are left in tears.

But at the end of the episode, Carly finally works up the nerve to tell Freddie how she really feels — all while standing in front of a bunch of pictures of the two of them throughout the years.

As an aside, if you’ll recall, the two briefly dated on the original show after Freddie saved Carly from a taco truck, but they broke up and would only date again if the whole “hero thing” wore off — so Carly calling him her hero is a callback to that.

Anyway, the two share a kiss, and then before leaning in for a second one, Freddie does his classiciCarlycountdown.

While Miranda and many fans are excited to see Freddie and Carly get together, there are many fans who still ship Freddie and Sam (Jennette McCurdy), aka Seddie, together — of course, the pair were in a long-term relationship on the original series.

And Miranda isn’t the only one on board this ship — in fact, Nathan Kress (who plays Freddie) appears to be the Creddie captain:
