Ngl I think it’s gonna end up being Andrew that’s gonna want to stay closeted. He’s gonna project his past traumas onto Luke and be hella cautious about coming out as a means to protect him and his acting career from scrutiny. Might actually go as far as to break up if things get bad for Luke, Derek might have something to do with it since he’s trying to out them. Anyway I’m rambling but I don’t see Luke wanting to stay private he’s definitely the type to love out loud and not care what people think as long as he’s with his person.
Ok well at least Luke didn’t introduce him as his “roommate”. He let Andrew decide how he wanted to be presented as. However, clearly they need to have a talk. Is Luke okay with the general public knowing he’s dating Andrew? I’m really hoping that’s the case and that Luke was only hesitant to speak because he’s noticed Andrew’s past behavior show that Andrew is not ready to come out as a couple. At least that’s what I got from Andrew. I dunno, I suspect Luke had been ready to be open about their relationship if Andrew had been ready and had been slightly taken aback by how reserved he is.
But Andrew may also just be thinking that Luke -who before this had only been in hetero relationships- is not ready and is apprehensive to let others know that he is his boyfriend.
I really hope this is just a moment of miscommunication and that they are both on the same page and just need to discuss how they feel about the subject.
