that noncon scene came out of left field and wasn't even necessary for the plot tf

EXACTLY, I WAS SO CONFUSED?? they couldve talked it out like "*jaw drops* why????" "cause i love you *wipes tears dramatically*" no random noncon scene bro....

Accidentally disliked, sorry! I completely agree, this read would be 10/10 without it. I appreciate that they talked it through during (instead of most where it's a full noncon scene that doesn't get resolved until wayyyy later) but couldn't they just talk it through to begin with instead? Ugh.
