if this was only friends, arnold and dean would have fucked and dean would have called out jack’s name and raffy would have already released the sex tape but cut out the part where dean called jack’s name

what would have been an excellent storyline for only friends that is hampered by their refusal to have cross pair kissing, is the exploration between Arnold and Dean - with the lines blurring between their on stage romance, their fake relationship for TikTok, and their personal lives. We get glimpses of the rehearsal and their TikTok persona, but imagine if we saw more of their intimacy being created onstage, actually kissing in rehearsals. Arnold through this play realising he’s attracted to men, how he reflects on his feelings with Tua, Dean’s messy relationship with his ex and wanting to win him back by flirting with Arnold and it gets blurry. Like if Arnold and Dean actually got to kiss in the forest?? Excellent. The both of them drunk, but used to being in each others space, all their rehearsals coming to the front, of course they’d kiss under those circumstances. But they realise they both have other people they want to be kissing more, and that they are better friends and onscreen partners, and would make good commentary on the bl space too like they’d already made with the sponsorship and having a certain number of social media followers. But alas.

Unpopular opinion: Dean should have called Arnold after being kicked out. Just imagine Dean and Arnold getting closer because both of their partners kicked them out and they have to lean on each other for support. Not only would they have to be together all day during rehearsals, but then going home together to sleep at Arnold’s (assumedly small) apartment.
