I get where people were coming from about not seeing the romantic connection and that take was just settling but idk. I think he did genuinely feel something for his friend and I think the feelings he had for the other dude were very shallow. Like he’s over here getting jealous over the scarf and other dudes talking to him. It just hadn’t occurred to him as an option cause they’ve known each other so long and he has JUST realized he could even be attracted to guys. Obviously what he has with his long term friend is gonna be more emotionally mature and deep than what he had with the other guy. Also he’s very respectful of the boundaries his friend sets and is cool with taking it slow which I guess people can read as being dispassionate but the story isn’t told from his pov so we don’t really know how tough it was for him to restrain himself when he probably felt the need to be more affectionate. But he was very used to putting wakos needs first and taking care of him. Idk they’re so sweet I love. Omg I’ve never ranted on here before….i should go to bed lol
