Trauma response darling.. he's afraid to trust ppl and having a terrible horrifying personality is his way to protect himself... but we'll, we understand your reaction. Even I, want to punch his face... But please trust the story later on You will love them... Josh is such a protector and Chase is such a baby to him (like clinging acting weak) in short attention seeker to our MC.

Hit send to early oof. Anyways--yeah, when Chase eventually starts lowering his guard to Josh after the coyote thing, he'll eventually become so dependent and well--"baby" around Josh. Josh loves to protect Chase and bully him. Even during smut scenes, Josh fantasize about making Chase cry from shame/embarrassment...yeah..he has a sadistic streak for Chase.
I seriously thought he was gonna be a tad better than Keith caused he seemed so in Kiss me Liar, but I guess I remembered wrong
