Oh no, it's adorable. They're being adorable again. How dare they.

They're in the same window, no lines between them, no space between them, the same world now, touching and talking and simply together and learning to trust , learning to share, learning to be themselves in these little peaceful moments. And now everything they do is connected.

The socks are holding hands. I am defeated, entirely.

I do love Pop rejecting everything his mother keeps bringing and seeing how her attempts to basically buy his love affects his relationship with other people but especially with Hero who has so many learned bad habits from his own father and from, frankly, Pop's own mother. And it's fascinating.

But its also amazing because Pop is tempted but also doesn't want to give in and now he's gotta teach Hero how to human, basically. Because Hero has spent so long being rich and being an ass to everyone he knows to escape his own feelings that he's forgotten what so much of being a person means.

And Pop is the right person to teach him because Pop is excessively human and sympathetic and kind and understanding but he's also strong enough to stand up to Hero and tell him he's being an ass.

Hero being so utterly uselessly jealous that it renders him basically helpless and Pop just doesn't know how to handle it so he gets sarcastic at him instead and that doesn't work out how either of them wants. Hero is sick with jealousy and Pop is sick of his jealousy.

(Hero went out of his way to try to brand them as a pair but panicked the instant he thought Pop might care about anyone else despite reassurance because he is never the one that's chosen.)

Hero just wailing on that boy for insulting Pop was great. I do love when they throw a punch for their man before they've been chosen. And that was a GREAT punch. A+. Hero might be a poor little rich boy with plenty of personal and family issues but he's got this weird little heart of gold buried under all that damage and I love it.
