How to Suppress Women’s Writing by Joanna Russ

Man Made Language by Dale Spender

Knowing Kaz, he isn't going to outright say him and Inej are dating. He’s going to mind his business and figures Inej will say something if it's important to her.

Except we’ve seen Inej loves messing with people in canon and there is no exception here. So when they visit Van Eck’s house one day and Jesper is giving them shit over being a bit late she is just like:

Inej: I’m sorry we’re late. I wanted extra time to hold my boyfriend’s hand. Is that so bad?

Jesper, who speaks without thinking: your boyfriend is a whore

Kaz: ....

And thus begins Jes and Inej’s new fun bonding activity. Nobody is gonna say Kaz’s name but they have fun heckling “Inej’s boyfriend” endlessly.

Inej: brb I need to grab a new hat for my boyfriend-

Jesper: This guy AGAIN?

Inej: idk what to tell you. He’s cute. I can't help myself.

Jesper: I don’t know, Inej. Nina told me your boyfriend had a shitty haircut.

Inej: he has the face for it

Kaz, doing paperwork: both of you get out

And naturally once Nina finds out it’s all over

Nina: I hear your boyfriend is a baby

Jesper: yeah, inej. Why are you dating this goon?

Nina: this clown

Jesper: this fool

Nina: he sounds like such a tool

Jesper: right? Date someone respectable - like Kaz!

Nina: why can't you just date Kaz?

Jesper: he’s much cooler than your stupid boyfriend

Inej: idk guys. I think Kaz has a girlfriend 😔

Nina & Jesper: *lose their goddamn minds*

They wait for Kaz to say something but he never does so “Inej’s boyfriend” just becomes a recurring character they all constantly bring up. Sometimes they use it as a loophole to dote on him.

Wylan, as Inej and Kaz leave together: be sure to tell Inej’s boyfriend hi!!

Inej: of course!

Wylan: And that we love him!

Inej: will do! *waits until they are completely alone* Wylan says hi btw

Kaz: why are you doing this to me

Inej: you are also loved

Kaz: stop it

Inej: if you anger me I'm going to start telling people how my boyfriend has pretty eyes

Kaz: I have done nothing to warrant this

Inej: I'm fairly certain this is the only way you can accept a compliment though

Sometimes it is less to torment him with affection and more to just.... torment him.

Matthias, pissed at Kaz over something: Good evening everyone. Today I have learned Inej’s boyfriend is poor. Let us pray for him. The poor man is just living in poverty.

Nina, smelling blood: oh no. Inej you didn't tell is he was poor.

Jesper: Not a single kruge to his name.

Wylan: That’s not quite right. He’s only poor because he’s a philanthropist, right? He gives all his money away.

Nina: OH- that’s right!

Matthias: Bless him for being so selfless. Not a hint of greed in him.

Jesper: He must serve the saints. Good for him.

Wylan: Makes sense given that Inej worships the saints. She would find a pious boyfriend.

Matthias, looking Kaz directly in the eyes: Bless Inej’s selflessly poor, religious boyfriend.

Kaz, who has been over this since day one: I want to go home now

He does lose it at some point. My poor boy can only take so much.

Kaz: FINE! I am her boyfriend. Is that what you want me to say? IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT? Me. I'm dating her. There. I’ve said it. Do you feel like you've won your stupid game? Are you pleased? I'm screaming in the middle of a murder! Happy?! Damn. Now all of you shut up before I break your necks.

The Razorgulls who came for a parley: ...

The crows: ...

Jesper: Inej, your boyfriend is rude :(

Nina: I miss your old boyfriend :(

Kaz: I don't think either of you understand how close I am to decking you-

Kaz thinks that claiming the title of Inej’s boyfriend means the taunts will stop but it only evolves.

Wylan: Inej do you ever still talk to your ex-boyfriend?

Matthias: yeah, the poor one?

Nina: the saintly one?

Jesper: do you, Inej? Do you still talk to him?

Wylan: what was his name again?

Inej:...his name was Koz. or Kez. It's been so long I've forgotten. My one true love. Kuz.

Kaz: pick a knife I've given you and just stab me with it, Inej.

In the end, he is sometimes grateful for the so-called alias.

Inej: mom, dad - this is Kaz.

Inej’s mom: oh! The boyfriend?
