Besides the rape ( which there’s a lot of), their dynamic in this story is straight out of the deep horrors of my mind. This is beyond unrequited love, since it shows that both of the mc’s are interested in each other; they should have no problems getting with each other in a healthy relationship. The only thing stopping it is that Scar Boy is mad at Pretty Boy for something they couldn’t control as kids. If my reading is correct, Pretty Boy only started scenting him for his safety, since Scar Boy barely wants to be around him after finding out he was an omega. If I’m correct, scenting is to help control Scar Boy’s pheromones and the pheromones from other alphas, since in this universe they’re all freaked-out horn dogs. What pissed me off is how Scar Boy kept deflecting and doubling down on his apology for using Pretty Boy’s body (which is horrible since Pretty Boy was also used for his face as a kid; also, him finding out he was an alpha was horrible for him too, but he carried on with his dream and pursued his passion.) No, using Pretty Boy’s body isn’t the same as scenting; And yes, it was nonconsensual AND DEF NOT RIGHT, but thinking about it from Pretty Boy’s perspective, it was just utter concern. Scar Boy using the whole “...you scented me, that’s why I’m like this,” trope isn’t factual since Pretty Boy started scenting him after he heard about Scar Boy being an omega, for the safety of him and the temperamental unacceptance of something Scar Boy cannot dictate. I know this is an omega universe, but the whole I can’t control myself is so fucking annoying. Pretty boy has been able to control himself all the way till he was 21, WTF HAPPENED.
Scar boy is too flip-floppy with his emotions. I’m only on chapter 21, and I’m already over their dynamic; it’s too complicated for the solution to be, “Oh, we both have problems; let's work on that together.”
