So, guys, drop all your favorite side couples. As many as you like. We’re making this a Side Couple Appreciation Thread, mainly so I can learn to love them again
They can be super minor couples too, that’s fine. Just give me the ones you think are at least one of these:
particularly well-written,

I got you girlie~ I think I understand what you mean.
I just adore couples be they main or side. There are just so many side/minor couples that are so cute, but for now, these are the only ones that come to mind:

.....I am jumping off a cliff with this one, but check the art.
