I'm your boyfriend?"[...]"Well … yeah.""Holy shit, I'm someone's boyfriend. Are you sure?""I'm sure.""And you're not just saying it because it pretty much means I have to tell you now?""To be honest, I'm kind of scared that the word slipped out."I love him for doing a little fist pump after I've said that. I love him for sounding so delighted about the whole idea. He keeps saying ‘boyfriend' in this wondering, chuckling sort of manner, and then when he's done I love him even harder."
