Think of ur good BLs as a delicious steak dinner. And Heated Rivalry as a McDouble.
Of course u would prefer a delicious steak dinner. Of course. But when ur driving home after a long day of work and u see the shining McDicks sign like a beacon of hope, u pull into the drive thru and ...... reply
You’re allowed to have your opinion but you’re very wrong about the just bang part…shame and illya have a strictly physical relationship and then they go on to develop real feelings for each other and as the show goes on you can see that they actually have less sex to indicate their relationship becoming more than that.
