conulyProtagonists: Your friend might be the secret serial killer!
Cousin of Fraught Relationship: He's really not.
Protagonists: Where was he when the murder happened?
Cousin: I, uh, can't say, but I was going to, uh, meet him and he's definitely not it.
Me: Because they're secret boyfriends. Obviously.
Protagonists: But you can't prove it! He must be the secret killer! We shall tail him.
Me: Oh boy.
Protagonists: Why, they're kissing! Who could have predicted this scene?
Later....
Protagonists: We have unmasked the real killer. We have also engaged in multiple acts of personal growth, and strengthened our relationship at the small cost of a few (more) burnt bridges and a(nother) war between our families! Hurrah, we are the best detectives ever!
Me: You're really not, though.
