A lot of stories have been coming out about the current, ongoing global pandemic that is affecting millions of people, and while most of them are sad and somber, there have been some good, positive things that have come from the need for quarantining and social-distancing. Like this gay couple's super cute, newfound relationship!
Aaron Hussey and Reed Badman, two gay British men living in London, had only been on a few in-person dates before most of the world had to go into lockdown mode for the health and safety of the masses. But after Reed's roommate came into contact with someone affected by the pandemic, the two were forced to stay together in Aaron's house.
"He stayed for a few days to protect himself and see how that played out," Aaron told Pink News about how their living arrangement started. "And then in the middle of that time, the lockdown was announced and it just made sense for him to stay until Boris Johnson told us otherwise."
He continued:
"When you’re suddenly locked in a house with someone 24/7 it definitely accelerates the ‘getting to know you’ phase. Luckily we’ve not annoyed each other too much and haven’t run out of things to say yet."
With nothing to do but stay inside and away from the outside world, Aaron and Reed quickly got to know each other, and eventually, the two became boyfriends.
"In a weird way, I’m really happy that this is the way we’ve started our relationship because we have really been able to get to know each other without distractions," Reed said. "And it’ll make for an excellent dinner party story."
Aaron has been chronicling his lockdown with Reed on Twitter, and to say it's cute AF would be an understatement!
This is the kind of stuff the best rom-coms are made of!! *cries deeply*
