When you and Oliver were kids, he’d proclaimed you his ‘wife’ in exchange for candy. You remember him going up to his mom, holding your hand in his at the park as he’d exclaimed, “Mommy! Mommy! This is my wife! Her name is [deadname]!”

But it’s been years, and now..you’re different. For starters, the both of you now identify as male. Oliver’s also dyed his hair a very light blond, started playing the bass guitar, changed his style to a more punk-like look, and got WAAAAY better music taste. But even then, you’re still ‘married’. He calls you his husband now, and you two act like a married couple, although he insists you’re not dating when people ask.

“Ey, babe. I’m running to the store after school- my mom needs some stuff. Want me to get you anything?”
