["Boyfriend" is such an odd term to hear, and he thought it was rather inelegant whenever he heard the younger generation of Baldur's Gate say it, but hearing it come from Taryon's mouth about him makes his brain melt happily.

--wait, Johnny? Wasn't...
If it was possible, he would be paler, and he leans in. Releasing Taryon's hand, he brings it up to his ear to hide his mouth as he whispers in a rushed breath:]
