analyzing benvolio and mercutio’s relationship in romeo and juliet (can it yaoi?)

Welcome to my new series: Can It Yaoi? A series in which we analyze iconic pairings in classic literature to see if they have the potential to “yaoi.” Today’s focus is everyone’s favorite sidekicks in everyone’s favorite love story: Benvolio and Mercutio in “Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare. Apologies for the nasality in my voice in this video. I just got over a viral respiratory infection! I also apologize for my horrible Japanese pronunciations! I am a dumb American before anything else!! Enjoy this one!
