also this is such a stupid question, but have they haven't formally called each other boyfriend have they? like I've written them referring to each other as lovers but they've never had a conversation abt it, right?
I could be completely off and mixing them up with one of my many drafts, though. If what I said is true, would you want them to have that conversation, or is it kinda implied by them being "together" for nine years? It could always be brought up in a near-death moment too, like a quick "be my boyfriend" at the end of the quarter quell. Or it could be like a long-winded late-night conversation.
