History Characters / Boyfriends

* OpaqueNerdGlasses: His glasses usually cover up his eyes.

* GreenEyedMonster: Mutes chat when his audience starts [[EatingtheEyeCandy cat-calling Prep]], and is outright accused of this when he objects to playing spin the bottle at a Halloween party. He pouts and insists he isn't jealous but ultimately kisses Prep in front of everyone to show "who he belongs to".

* TransTribulations: Mostly {{subverted|Trope}} since Goth is a trans man who is accepted by every character in the comic and casually mentions his recovery from top surgery. He also goes to the beach shirtless for the first time and doesn't encounter any problems. Though it's implied [[AbusiveParents his parents either took more time to come around or never did]] through flashbacks.

--> '''Goth:''' How about you try out? You work out in the gym often, right?
--> '''Prep:''' Working out and playing sports are two different things! One gives me a [[ProudBeauty great ass]], and the other just tires me out for no reason!

--> '''Prep (after getting caught wearing Goth's missing hoodie):''' I-i-it's not what you think!
--> '''Goth:''' Why do you have my sweater then...
--> '''Prep:''' Uhm...it's because...[[HerBoyfriendsJacket your sweater smells good...]]
--> '''Goth:''' But we use the same detergent.
--> '''Prep:''' Why do you always have to be the ruiner of moods?

* TransTribulations: Mostly [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] since Goth is a trans man who is accepted by every character in the comic and casually mentions his recovery from top surgery. He also goes to the beach shirtless for the first time and doesn't encounter any problems. Though it's implied [[AbusiveParents his parents either took more time to come around or never did]] through flashbacks.

* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: As of [[https://m.webtoons.com/en/slice-of-life/boyfriends/s2-episode-183/viewer?title_no=2616&episode_no=183 Episode 183]], where after he's praised for his MagicalGirl cosplay, we're given [[WhamShot a panel showing an egg cracking]] (a common visual metaphor to represent someone starting to question their gender identity). Even before this, the ribbon on the cosplay has almost the same colors as the [[https://gender.fandom.com/wiki/Demiboy demiboy flag]]. Episode 185 clears up the ambiguity a bit by confirming that, while he's still okay with being seen as a boy, he's also okay with being seen as a "not-boy", and becomes both flustered and excited when Goth flirtatiously calls him a boy ''and'' girl simultaneously. While as of this writing he hasn't labeled his gender identity, it's definitely clear that he is not cisgender.

* DelinquentHair: All three have some variation of dyed hair that could give off the impression of rebellion. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in that they are all very nice, normal people.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: She seems to like tea a lot. The comic often shows her drinking it or brewing it for others.

* AmicableExes: A rather...unusual example with Prep BF. [[https://www.webtoons.com/en/slice-of-life/boyfriends/s2-episode-122/viewer?title_no=2616&episode_no=122 Episode 122]] reveals they dated in high school, but only to boost their status and they ultimately broke up. While they do argue constantly in the present, it has less to do with the relationship ending badly and more with their mutual desire to be the best at whatever they do. The rivalry itself isn't a serious one, as the two don't actually hate each other making them fall under this trope.

* SiblingRivalry: Tries to invoke this with her brother who dreads having to compete with her. She sways him into a one on one basketball match that she of course wins.

* InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals: Without their clip-on braids, they look ''a lot'' [[https://www.webtoons.com/en/slice-of-life/boyfriends/s2-episode-189/viewer?title_no=2616&episode_no=189 like Nerd BF]].

* DelinquentHair: All three have some varation of dyed hair that could give off the impression of rebellion. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in that they are all very nice, normal people.

* LethalChef: Nearly burns down Jock's dorm while trying to ''boil water'' and messes up chopping vegetables badly enough to [[MakesSenseInContext leave two of his boyfriends bleeding out.]] Jock actually has to put him through an entire training arc just to get him to the point of making spaghetti that doesn't incapacitate whoever is forced to taste it.

* CovertPervert: Seems to be the most innocent of the boys in the first few chapters right down to being a virgin. But he's quickly revealed to be a [[https://www.webtoons.com/en/slice-of-life/boyfriends/episode-8/viewer?title_no=2616&episode_no=8 "hentai fiend"]], coaxes Prep into taking a [[https://www.webtoons.com/en/slice-of-life/boyfriends/episode-8/viewer?title_no=2616&episode_no=8 shower with him]], and fantasizes about seeing his boyfriends in [[https://www.webtoons.com/en/slice-of-life/boyfriends/episode-43/viewer?title_no=2616&episode_no=43 speedos at the beach]]. More examples pile up as the series continues.
