One adult and one under-18?Kay: Huh? No maam, that's my boyfriend. They're older than me.Lady: Oh, sorry dears! Two adult tickers coming up.//Jay, upon hearing this recoils with a look of shock, now holding Kay at arms-length. Kay turns around to see what's up./Kay: You okay?Jay: B-b-boyfriend!?Kay: Oh, sorry. Are you feeling more 'partner'? 'Girlfriend'?Jay: Are we really... like... is that what we are?Kay: Y-yes?//Jay clutches their head, staring into the middle distance, reconsidering a sizeable chunk of their recent experiences. Kay reassuringly holds their hand./Jay: You've never mentioned it before!Kay: We've been going out for almost two years.Jay: But it sounds so... official...Kay: We live together.Jay: Do I, like, need to buy you flowers and chocolates and jewellery and stuff?Kay: No, but that doesn't normally stop you.Jay: Dude! I'm not ready for this level of intimacy!Kay: We sleep together. Deep breaths babe.

Say hello to Jay and Kay. They're my new fictional boyfriends. Whether they know it or not.
