Oh man I recently re read this and whew there's a lot to unpack. Buddy was stuck ina past, he felt the other dude took advantage of him and honestly he did. They were young high school boys, buddy thought they had something special but to the other dude it wasn't (I was wrong, they had mutual feelings and demonstrated them in different ways, taller dude used him to satisfy his lust and conflicting feelings and shorter dude enjoyed they're time together and did everything he asked in fear of him leaving him, both didn't want the other to leave) they both had feelings for each other but didn't speak up.
Buddy felt obligated to always do what the other dude wanted and satisfy him outta fear that he'd leave him/forget about him, that wasn't coo :/ some would say they were young and everyone makes mistakes but jeez making him do stuff he didn't want to do is bogus asl, buddy coulda walked away but he liked him and didn't want to disappoint him. They need help...
2024 I actually finished it, I re read most of it a few times but last I left off at was when they were at dude with the scar home. Uhh who knew fooling around in hs would cause such problems. Both were obsessed and possessive and messed up ina mind, they prolly never gon be able to live a normal life but aye they got each other, they'll figure something out lol
