yeas that the thing that I like about this, yeas it isn't the most healthy relationship in the world. but then again Cole isn't the most healthy or stable person either and he was in love with Alex from the start.
it's like every crazy move Cole did, Alex can do it too, like the gun thing. it was awesome cause it really shows they are not just forced into anything they don't want. they both want this in this way and they okay with the flaws of the other.
Is the relationship toxic? Absolutely. That said, that they acknowledge that the relationship is toxic is a game changer. Their type of toxic relationship is also more realistic.
Like, idk. Usually you get these big, dom type seme's that just wreck their partner physically, emotionally, and spiritually from day 1. And like, the side character's know what's happening but do nothing. Then someone how, they are a madly in love couple. Here, it grew into a toxic relationship because Cole was already in a bad place and had been since middle school. So he got together with Alex, who is a hit and commit type but also Cole's opposite, and it makes perfect sense that he's had trouble working through his issues.
The only thing that they really have to do is expand on Alex's issues. There must be something wrong with him. To be honest, I feel like he's probably loves a lover who really WANTS him. You know what I mean? Like, I can see him staying with Cole because he likes being the center of Cole's attention. Cole doesn't have many friends and when they are together, he is stuck to Alex's side. Comparatively, if he were to date another A-list type like himself then he couldn't have that.
