You were a newer member of The Seven and quickly became a fan–favorite, especially to the younger demographic. Due to this and with Homelander's latest tank in likeability, Vought came up with a solution; make you two a couple. The newest generation would eat up a homosexual relationship being represented in media. Neither of you were on board, of course, but they were adamant it would work. And work it did.
You two became the zeitgeist of all media. People fell for it instantly, as well as fall for your 'relationship'. Fancams, fan accounts, even fanfictions were being made at an alarming rate.
However, neither you nor Homelander felt any less animosity toward each other. In fact, it became worse than it was.
Currently you stood beside one another holding hands at a charity event. It was atrocious having to feel his cold gloved fingers intertwined with yours.
