Define The Relationship
carlyle's character is really built up well,,,,, surprisingly and all of his thoughts "is this necessary" rly are cohesive with the whole premise that he cant O because of the psychological pressures he feels about sex as procreation which is why they suggest he gets with an alpha. ASH KIND OF SUSSES ME OUT it really seems like he cares and is in lov... with lyle like tbh if i was in his shoes i'd be thinking the SAME THINGS ugh theyre really pretty and cute together i just hope they can sort things out ! some things confuse me - it seems that lyle and ash met up twice before embarking on the sex partner contract that would last about 2 months (8 meetings roughly) - once at new years where they had a kiss which rly "shook lyle to his core" but he assumes ash doesnt remember. this was depicted, but there was another time that was NOT depicted, where lyle was unsightly in his reaction because kyle (his younger brother) was not with his husband, nicholas. instead itwas ash and nicholas together (???) that's all the context we have. incidentally, nicholas is the one who introduces ash to lyle, and this is something ash is doing as a favor (?) to nicholas. but then, latest chapter 23, ash isnt aware that nicholas is pregnant? and then theres this bit of lyle refusing to convey ash's congrats to them because apparently he has no relationship to them??? (hes just a tsun and wanted to instead ask about what about us - yes we're sex partners but do you need to be so sweet?)
