【eroticism of pure love】

The eroticism of pure loveSoup Snakes are back, baby.

Everyone's favorite (technically former) couple, Mindy Kaling and B.J. Novak, went on an Oscars date together, making fans of The Officethe real winners of the night.

Though Kaling and Novak aren't officially dating anymore (as far as any of us know), the actors, who co-starred in the NBC comedy as Kelly Kapoor and Ryan Howard, remain one of Hollywood's most shipped romantic duos. And let us just say, they looked damn good together on their way to the 2019 Vanity Fair Oscar Party.

Earlier this evening, Kaling shared a video of her and her "good friend" (hmm) B.J. to her Instagram story. The two were seen chilling in a car and when she explained they were on their way to severalOscars parties, Novak joked, "you told me this was Grammys stuff."

Later, mid-Vanity Fair viewing party, Kaling posted the car video and an important dinner update to her account.

Apparently, Kaling ordered a chicken burger and fries for dinner, while Novak made the rookie mistake of ordering broccoli of some sort. So like a real, adorable date, the two ended up sharing the chicken burger.

"I just want to say no one else at this party is on their phones," B.J. said to the camera, to which Mindy replied, "Yeah, no one's on their phones but I am this person."

At some point during the night, photographer Mark Seliger captured this borderline Too Damn Freaking Much photo of Kaling and Novak.

And if you're feeling a bit of déjà vu it's probably because Seliger took this other borderline Too Damn Freaking Much photo of the two when they attended the 2018 Vanity Fair Party together.
