At some point I gotta write that idea I had of Ayin tormenting Chesed by way of Chesed having accepted having his own feelings toward Ayin while they all thought he was dead, and Ayin (poor dumb aroace-spec he is) going to Social Sciences and making himself right at home and "I really like it here, you're such a good friend."
Chesed is dying inside the more things go on because he is pining like a forest, and Ayin is confused because he's pretty sure this is a good thing they have but at the same time he wants a few other things from Chesed that he's pretty sure don't make him a good friend, and he doesn't want to seem like he's taking advantage...
Meanwhile Chesed is screaming inside "Ayin, please. Please take advantage here. I am RIGHT HERE."
