(I do admit I am struggling to understand your points fully, in part I believe, because of the word count)

(Also, sorry Khosh, I have no idea how to untag you in this thread XD)

This could be influenced by how Stolas probably feels from Full Moon. That Blitz only wanted his book and thought Stolas only wanted sex.

I'd have to really sit down to further develop ideas, though. And even then, it would be coloured by my own bias.

(I'd be down to talk more in dms if ya wanna)

I guess what I'm trying to say is that the pool scene is when Stolas, perhaps doesn't realize but reacts too, the fact that, to him in this moment, Blitz is like everyone else. In believing that Stolas couldn't be a victim.

Does that make sense?

(Word count makes it hard to discuss)

This being the moment when Stolas realizes that Blitz didn't know that Stolas could be hurt. That Stolas could have a REAL threat pointed at him.

Realizing that the person he loves never took Stolas feelings and safety seriously*.

?Blitz had reason to play hands off but that doesn't stop the hurt

I'll be painting this one 🐟🐟
