sweethearts

Two smitten people

Sweethearts are people in a romantic relationship, especially young or innocent love: high school sweethearts, childhood sweethearts.

The singular sweetheart is a term of endearment for a romantic partner or, more loosely, anyone you're fond of: Thanks, sweetheart.

A sweetheart can also be someone especially kind or agreeable: She's a real sweetheart.

A sweetheart deal is an unusually favorable arrangement, often implying improper favoritism.
