A truly rare 'smaller character kabedons taller, older character' and I love it. @absolutebl I already adore them.

Ek told me that Chai takes very good care of him.

REARRANGE. EPISODE 3

[heretherebedork]

Chai tried so hard, did so much, and yet nothing changed and Ek got hurt and the necklace broke and he's trapped in pain and failure and the loss of everything that had come to matter him so much.

And then the breakdown in the hospital because he knows he's lost everything? Absolute peak agony. He loves Ek so damn much. Ek brought him joy and belonging and another person who truly cared about him and he failed to protect him, he failed at the one thing he truly hoped he could do.

They hurt so much, y'all. Because they were from so damn happy to finally understand each other and now they're apart again. Heartbreaking.

They're together. They made it. Thanks to Ek and his willingness to hire people to intimidate his boyfriend-to-be's rivals.

The matter with Thoed’s gang is over. So can we be together now? I’ve been waiting for this for a long time.

REARRANGE. EPISODES 5 -> 10

[pamouche]

I used to be very shy. I couldn’t look anyone in the eye. So I had to wear a hat all the time. And now? Are you still shy? Much better now. Are you okay? Try looking me in the eye.

REARRANGE. EPISODE 4

[heretherebedork]

This was just such a sincere 'he's too cute to handle' moment and I loved it, okay? Vibes only, vibes only.

[heretherebedork]

They are so precious and special to me and their pain is my pain and I am just aching with their loneliness, with how much Chai wanted to find a way to stay with Aek but Aek is just as unsure and, frankly, holds all the power in their relationship thanks to both class status and Chai's own issues.

My heart breaking because Chai loves Aek so much and they could be so good together but, again, all the class issues and Aek avoiding him and everything about them together is just heartbreaking.
