i enjoy reading toxic relationships like these but i feel like im the only one who remembers that mc was really shitty to ml in high school. not that he deserved anything that happened later on but like ml didnt deserve what happened to him either. they both kinda suck and the mc's been coping real hard by telling himself lies about having not bullied ml and all that crap back from chapters 7 amd 8. no shit ml is fucked in the head, he was brutally and cruelly bullied in his formative years and still felt like *he* had to be the one to apologize. anyway i love these two and cant wait for them to get together.
