Telle

Telle is the het ship between Tao Xu and Elle Argent from the Osemanverse fandom.

Canon
On the fifth day in Paris, Tao and Elle visit the Shakespeare and Company bookstore and hold hands as they walk around. During Tara's birthday party, Tao and Elle sit close to each other and have drinks. They make out in the bathroom but are caught by Charlie. Tao angrily tells him to get out and afterwards Elle laughs into Tao's embrace.

Fanon
Telle is a popular ship in the Heartstopper fandom. Narlie, Dana and Telle are the three main relationships in Heartstopper, though Telle could be considered the least popular of the three. Regardless, the ship has gained significant popularity during Chapter 4 of Hearstopper when Tao and Elle finally get together. Telle fanworks are very rare and fanfiction is almost non-existent. However, there are some fanart and edits for the pairings. Despite this, the pairing is regularly talked about by fans on Discord, Tapas and Tumblr.

Some confusion has occurred over their ship name, but it is generally agreed by fans to be Telle. In one post, Oseman used Taoelle as their ship, resulting in a fan responding telling her it Telle, and Alice responding that she 'can't keep up'. One fan on Tumblr made a pun about how Tao and Elle should 'Telle' each other how they feel. Oseman loved the pun and made a subsequent tweet on her Twitter.

Trivia

 * In a response to an anonymous ask talking about their Telle headcanon, wherein 'they get into arguments about who was pining for the longest amount of time'. Alice responded that 'they 100% do'.
 * Oseman imagines Tao as straight to normalise the concept of a straight guy dating a trans girl, without being bi/pan. Though also said people are welcome to interpret him in any way.
