I feel like there's a huge secret between Brad and Alex. I might be overthinking this but maybe the reason why Brad knows so much about Cole is because Alex and him had a bet and now they're both acting to test Cole's loyalty. Cause why else would he drop that last line. Or Brad is simply being curious. Maybe like other typical plots he wants to own Cole because he belongs to Alex and see Alex as a rival. Idk honestly. Usually i'd be able to figure out the plot straight away but this manga is anything but normal so i cant help but overthink ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
P.S Also i think Alex knows what those cuts on Cole's arms means but he's pretending not to know because he's scared of triggering him.
I read this theory somewhere in the comments, it's something like Alex stole his gf so Brad's gona steal his bf typically revenge thing like Brad doesnt give 2 shits about Cole. Also i wana see Alex's crazy, not necessarily related to jealousy. Just something that puts him on the same crazy level as Cole lol I kinda want them to b crazy 2gthr
Is the seme trying to trick the uke into falling in love
with him?
i feel like that's... part of it. he wants to keep the uke close to him for personal gain, but is starting to have feelings for him without knowing it so he's unconsciously also trying to get close to him.
Example: buying the art piece for him, but covered it up with the fact he 'owns him' because he's unconsciously avoiding the fact he bought it because he thought he liked it.
Why do I feel like soon we'll have a new pairing
