Thinkfast is the pairing of Tommy Shepherd and David Alleyne, both characters belong to the Young Avengers and X-men fandoms.
History
This pairing would get its first fans during the publishing of Young Avengers vol.2, written by Kieron Gillen, where Tommy Shepherd and David Alleyne would meet each other as coworkers, soon becoming friends.
Later when Tommy was in danger David didn't lose time in showing his concern and trying to save him. It's in this adventure where Prodigy would come out as a bisexual man, after kissing Hulking.
When things went back to normal, the ship shared their first (accidental) kiss, that Tommy was quick to reject but would open the door for something else in the future. Another kiss would happen between an AU version of them during Secret Wars: Secret Love.
Years would pass without content, until 2019 when the writer of The Unstoppable Wasp, Jeremy Whitley, would confirm in Twitter that Speed was LGBT+ as well, which caused great excitement among fans.
And then in 2020 Lords of Empyre: Emperor Hulkling by Chip Zdarsky and Anthony Oliveira, finally confirmed that both characters were in a relationship. The next year they would share passionate on panel kiss during an issue of X-Factor by Leah Williams.
