Rue and Fezco’s relationship
Is it so bad and fucked up to wish them together, as girlfriend and boyfriend?
Some will tell me that Fez considers Rue as her little sister, because it’s the answer he gave to Moose when he asked him “if she was his bitch”. But when Laurie asked Fez why he brought a high school girl with him, he just replied “that’s my family” (didn’t say little sister), because this time he knew that Laurie wasn’t like Moose and couldn’t rape Rue. Yet, the way Fez looks to Rue, it’s more than a brother & sister’s relationship. There is longing and lust in his eyes. Or, maybe he doesn’t want to ruin their relationship by telling her his true feelings and make it awkward, so he goes along with making it a platonic relationship.
On the opposite, if Rue and Fez would have been together, it wouldn’t been a healthy relationship. She is a junkie and he is a drug dealer. He, also, must be the one responsible for her OD (?), even if he was scared as fuck about it and said to her that “the whole drug shit got me feeling kinda uneasy”, and especially « I like you and I missed you ». Nevertheless, let’s go back to the beginning, before Fez sold her drugs. As Angus Cloud replied to this question « Is Fez in love with Rue? » "I think he just cares a lot about her. They probably go way back. Who knows? Maybe he does have a crush on her, and he doesn't even know it. He doesn't wanna admit it to himself — that's like his sister." Exactly, maybe he was too shy to ask her out, so he sold her drugs instead. But what’s sure is that they both care a lot about each other, because they both said « I love you » to each other.
However, I just noticed two parallels in this new episode (2x01):
First: When Fez, Ash and Rue went to see the new dealer, Laurie. Rue was sniffing coke in the back seat of the car while the song « Hit’ em up » by 2Pac feat Outlawz was playing in the back. Once parked, Rue met Faye, Custer’s junkie girlfriend. At some point, Rue is unsettled to watch Faye doing heroin and she replied « Listen… I fucking know what you are. You’re just a fucking junkie ass bitch, and you’re probably fucking eating that ginger’s ass for fucking Oxy’s. or whatever the fuck you’re into. Fucking junkie ass bitch ». And after that the girls are called « two junkie whore » by Laurie’s right hand. Consequently, I think that Faye might be the worse version of Rue if she was dating Fez indeed, she would end up a heroin addict.
Second: When Fez is speaking with Lexi. I really can imagine Fez having the same conversation with Rue if she wasn’t taking drugs. Lexi is the better version of Rue, as a good and healthy girl she should have been.
Even with everything on top, Fez trust her with his life. And I still believe that they deserve to have a chance as a couple.
ps: because it’s also completely fucked up to go back with someone who left you at a fucking train station! Don’t sell you so low/short.
