In my opinion he doesn't see them as Rivals he kept koi away from them because of the hatred he carries for himself and dom alpha plus his brain is half fried because of pheromones poisoning.. younger him was a green flag... chase and young ash are quite similar in the way they think..if it weren't for Dominic ruining ash he would have been quite similar to chase and grayson minus the goofiness of grayson
The naming of different parts he named his dic anaconda and koi's assho little koi. similar to grayson the self defence mechanisms he let this one guy hit him purposely then sent him to 3 weeks of coma the following around there partners just like grayson does that he used to follow koi around like a lost puppy... Young ashley was also social butterfly just like grayson is ...both of them did some sort of sports grayson polo and him hockey... grayson is like a perfect mix of ashley and koi ...he got that innocent side he shows to dane from koi and that flapping ears too
He literally see them as rival tho? Have you read lick me up if you can? You literally can read what is his reason for drinking all of those breast milk. Yes ash brain is damaged. But since before his brain damaged, he already too obsessed with koi and didn't give a fuck with others. Just like chase who only josh is matters to him.

Poor grayson didn't get his momma breast milk when he's a baby, because Ash drinking all of it.
that's why Grayson became obsessed with boobs now
