Canon
Prep and Goth are childhood friends. One day, Prep complains to Goth about how he's over being single which prompts Goth to claim it's easy. The two see Nerd trip and drop his books and Goth helps him up and notices that the stickers on Nerd's book are from an anime. Nerd rants about how he got the stickers before he gets flustered and asks Goth if he wants to watch the second season with him. Goth and Nerd exchange phone numbers, and Goth tells Prep that that's how you get a boy's number.

Prep, bitter about how Goth and Nerd, trips while walking by Jock. Jock catches him and asks if he wants to go to a coffee shop. Prep obliviously turns him down and only realizes later that Jock was flirting with him.

Jock notices Nerd reading by a basketball court and calls out to him. He winks and says, "This one's for you!" before shooting a basketball. It goes in and Jock tries to shoot it again, but hits someone. Jock gets punched by the person he hit and receives a kiss from Nerd.

Prep throws a party that Jock is invited to, and he gets Goth to help him. Goth tells Prep that he should go drink or something if he feels nervous talking to Jock. Prep does as advised. Jock notices Goth and asks him to dance. Goth drops his drink and pins Jock to the wall. The two go to Prep's room and play Jenga.

Prep sits down on a bench and Nerd sits beside him. Prep vents to Nerd about the situation with him and Jock and Nerd reassures him. Prep tells Goth that his boyfriend, referring to Nerd, is too cute.

Goth, who didn't think Nerd was his boyfriend, thinks about what Prep says while Nerd sits in his lap. Goth tells Nerd that he really likes him. Nerd tells Goth that he romantically likes him too along with his roommate and the guy who always plays basketball in the court. Nerd tells Goth that he won't force Goth if he's not into polyamory. Goth says that he's not opposed to the idea because he thinks Prep and Jock are attractive too. Goth suggests that they should try hanging out before getting Prep and Jock into anything, and Nerd agrees.

Goth brings Prep to a restaurant, where Nerd and Jock are. Prep runs away to the bathroom after seeing Jock. Jock goes to the bathroom, and him and Prep clear up the misunderstanding before going back to Nerd and Goth. The four hang out at the arcade where they all have fun.

Fanon
Boyfriends is a popular ship since it's the main focus of the webtoon it's in. It became more popular when Boyfriends. became a Webtoon Original and the ship was introduced to a lot more people. The various ships within the Boyfriends are also popular due to how the webtoon focuses on the individual relationships between the four. While most of the art of the ship is from refrainbow, the creator of the webtoon, there is a little bit of fan art. There is also a little bit of fan fiction as there are 8+ works on AO3 of the entire polycule.
