The photo showed Elly and her boyfriend on the street as they had been walking home after meeting up with their friends at the bar. She didn't really remember the night in question, but Aizawa was in the process of reaching for her waist. She had a strange look on her face, possibly because, you know, celebrities aren't always camera-ready.
The internet took the picture and ran wild with it.
@<b>rt346</b>: <i>ewwww @CheshirePro obviously not likin that</i> #metoo #creepy
@<b>smilez4meto</b>: <i>omg i feel sorry for @CheshirePro Look i mean he's touching way too far close to her BUTT that's not right!!!</i> >:( #sexualabuse
@<b>kmuiybuttz</b>: <i>she's like "bruh get AWAY from me" lolol</i>
...and countless others, many tweeting with her name so she saw everything being said about them.
Elly slowly set her phone face down on the kitchen table, one hand massaging her eyes.
"This is ridiculous," she sighed.
She knew that once the mob was released, facts wouldn't even set them straight. The only way she could combat this was by seeming to ignore it, but post content herself that should calm down the small percentage of folks that were invested in this yet able to think for themselves.
"Hey, babe?"
"Hwha?" Aizawa walked into the hallway with his toothbrush in his mouth.
"We're going to need to take a photo of us to put up online. You okay with that?"
He shrugged, nodded, and went back to the bathroom to finish brushing. She heard him spit in the sink and gargle a couple times.
A couple minutes later he was back out in the living room, yawning and scratching at his chest under his t-shirt.
"What do you want me to do?" He blinked blearily at the phone she was holding.
"Oh, heck. I don't know... just smile. I'll smooch your cheek."
The very idea caused a genuine smile to spread across his face, and she took advantage and kissed him softly, grinning herself as she snapped a picture.
@<b>CheshirePro</b>: <i>#SoInLove with my #boyfriend</i> ♡ #love #happy #bestboyfriend
There were, of course, some people that were still unhappy but she was pleased with how she handled it.
Aizawa just chuckled and claimed he got a "free kiss" out of the whole thing.
