Silas is on a mission, a dangerous one.
He is playing spy and even if he trusts Arthur to keep his secrets he may not trust what Arthur would do to try to help Silas.
Arthur knowing what Silas is up to May cost Silas his life.
Imo that's all the more reason for silas to stop the bs and let Arthur have space
I don't think Silas can.
He is falling in love but he doesn't recognize it as such because he doesn't know what love is, he was never shown or given love to recognize it as his feelings for Arthur.
And because of that, he is spiraling emotionally and with his relationship with Arthur.
Arthur doesn't recognize it either because he was never in a relationship with a man nor a fwb situationship. He doesn't realize Silas is falling for him.
He thinks this is how Silas always is with his men. But it's not and thus he is not asking Silas questions about their relationship and if it is changing to something more dating than just sex.
And these men are both introverts and stoic on their personal life. Keeping things to themselves until they are forced to open up.
Used to really like this series, not anymore.
Is communicating illegal? I understand if it was more of a trauma thing but no, logically, esp because of the field they're both in, they should communicate with each other far more openly. Arthur tried, silas didn't reciprocate. This is logically where Arthur should leave. Esp after knowing that silas did a bg check on him without any explanation whatsoever
