Miss Vanjie and Brooke Lynn Hytes Is the ‘Drag Race’ Romance We Need

Vanjie and Brooke Lynn

The season 11 competitors have clearly become more than friends.

Two weeks ago, Miss A'Keria Davenport asked the question that we were all wondering on RuPaul's Drag Race: "Wuss goin' on?!" At the time it was a little bit of work room cuddling and a few kisses between our queen of the north, Brooke Lynn Hytes and Vanessa "Miss Vanjie" Mateo. And seemingly after a week off, the little love interest seems to be back in full force.

In a preview for this week's episode, the two exchange more kisses and a shirtless hug. What. Is. Going. On. Up. In. Here. On. This. Day?! "Could these queens be crushing?" the narrator for the clip asks. Well sis ... looks like a lot more than crushing to me. "Brooke Lynn is a good friend of mine," Vanjie seems to respond. Mawma!

Now, we're not going to lie: after 11 seasons of Drag Race, it is beyond time for a little kai kai on set. And while we love a little tease here and a little titillation there, it's about high time they pony up and show us what's good! We would certainly stan a Branjie moment -- let's be clear, this is the most natural conjugation of their respective names.

On social media, Mateo seems to be leaning into it all. Today she uploaded up a photo to Instagram with her head in Hytes's lap. "Everyone let me introduce you to my toes," she wrote. What that means we do not know. Is this our kink-positive queen? Are we getting a two-for-one deal?! Is there a JustFor.Fans? I would like to see it.

She uploaded the same photo of the pair to Twitter with a different caption. "Summer lovin had me a blast, Summer lovin happen so fast," she wrote, tagging Hytes and hashtagging Toes. Is this some cute little term of endearment we are out of the loop on? It certainly has nothing to do with the Grease "Summer Nights" lyrics she used to caption the post.

Hopefully whatever this is, it lasts long enough for us to find out!
