This is my go-to reread Liam PoV chapter when I want cutesy boyfriend-esque playful giggle kick my feet happily-ever-after vibes - and wow did Noah PoV solidify that AHHHHHHH THIS WAS SOOOOOO 🥹🥹🥹🥹 Bro I was grinning the whole time, except when Noah mentioned his dad keeping his diagnosis to himself... that part I was like oh. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree, I guess :( little more insight into Noah's psyche? ;_; But other than that it was just so ADORABLE, Noah is down so bad and it's so cute he doesn't know it/won't verbalize it/etc; and yet he uses soooo many cute possessive terms/has many moments in this one. "Mine." or when the party just so happened to "be getting lame" coincidentally after Claire and Liam interacted... righttttt. Def not jealousy, couldn't be "Alien. Oh." yeah that part had me internally screaming I do find it incredibly interesting, too, we got more interaction from, and a little better idea of, Dylan and Noah's relationship! Like what do you mean, in the middle of being intimate with Liam - Noah references Dylan. Literally of the blue: "Dylan wishes he could do that." Noah is so competitive with him, he doesn't even have to be near for Noah to compare himself to him? Like is he just always in the back of his mind? Fascinating to note, especially given what has transpired in Liam 17 o.o I'm so scared of what Noah's gonna do once he finds out what happened [what's happenING?]

First of all, congrats on the casserole! 😂 But seriously, I have been waiting for this POV so bad and it did not disappoint. I’m definitely getting a better idea of the Noah/Dylan relationship and I am relieved that it doesn’t appear anything traumatic happened between them in the past. BUT, I am still very interested in this dynamic. Eryndor, you’re spot on with noticing how competitive he is, even when Dylan shouldn’t be in his mind. It was also so heart warming/wrenching to witness Noah's reaction to Liam's genuine emotional response to the party. As usual, when Liam is gooned out, pliable and worshipping Noah, the world is crystal clear. When Liam shows the slightest bit of emotional connection and genuine appreciation for their non-sexual relationship, Noah just fries. I’m also genuinely surprised that Noah is actually flaunting his sexual control over Liam to Dylan. It seems like a dangerous thing to do with a bigger, older, more polite AND openly gay "version" of himself. It seems like a bit of a blind spot for Noah not to see any danger in Dylan possibly being attracted to Liam. (I don’t think Noah is capable at this point of thinking Liam could ever be into anyone but him) Noah seems so secure in his position with Liam perhaps he doesn’t see the danger in Dylan? I just found it so interesting that Noah got pissed about the final evolution comment, but chose to pique Dylan’s interest in Liam’s “condition” rather than remove him from any proximity to it. Then again, the competitive thing may be clouding Noah's judgment a bit? Another thing that interested me in this chapter was a small thing, but it stuck out - Noah's use of the word addict to refer to Liam. Maybe just a great way to describe Liam's reaction to Noah, but for some reason it stuck out to me. One last thing. I am now almost 100% sure Noah is not working with Connor as collaborators. This chapter made his feelings about Connor crystal clear. BUT, I am SOOOOOOOO interested in how Ian might play into this. The dude is getting compliments from Noah so does this mean he plays a future part somehow? Is Ian going to help Noah neutralize Connor? Is it something entirely different? Or nothing at all? Very exciting to think about! Gravity - ever present. Great job Lucas!

dude it’s so awesome that you guys catch those little nuances, like noah’s father acting so much like him. yeah man, the kitchen scene is one of my favorites too. i love writing noah feeling things lmao. yeah, the whole final evolution thing got to him, on top of some other existing stuff, and noah hides his insecurity by doubling down on his arrogance and hiding behind things he can control. liam lmao. thanks man

okay so the dylan/liam flaunt thing is very intentional and you nailed something really important here. though it wasn't a blind spot, it was actually the opposite, it was a direct response TO feeling threatened. the thing about noah is he doesn't do fear, he doesn't sit with discomfort and go "hm maybe i should pull back here." what he does instead is multiply his cockiness, he dares the universe to try and take stuff from him because he's convinced it won't happen, that's his whole defense mechanism. so that whole scene with dylan is a genuine psychological study lmao he's not being naive or careless, he's being... noah, which means any perceived threat gets met with "oh you think you can compete with THIS?" and the other layer is that noah isn't delusional about his own power , he's actually painfully aware of the effect he has on people, he's lived it his whole life. so the arrogance isn't just defense mechanism, it's also informed by a very real and accurate read of how he moves through the world. which almost makes it more tragic, because his confidence isn't unfounded at all. and it just might finally meet something it can't charm its way out of... also yes, gravity is VERY much all around us and i HAVE absolutely been studying the dishes very carefully lmfao

Thanks, Lucas! I love the your further insight into Noah's mind! I guess what worries me for Noah is the possibility that what he is doing to Liam will leave Liam open. At this point in the story Noah does not seem to predict the variable that he might have a huge, emotional falling out with Liam, thus scrambling Liam's brain in a way Noah did not intend/predict. Past comments have related to Noah seeing himself as a constant, but isn't it somewhat true that he has come to view Liam and his reactions as a constant? What if Liam no longer is a constant? Especially after the emotional "breakup" that occurred. Lucas, the way you describe Noah's psychology as it relates to Dylan only makes me more sad for what might occur when he finds out about Liam and Dylan. It also makes even more sense as to why Noah becomes so irate at the notion that Liam was somewhat "faking" it because of the sympathy he felt. If Liam and Dylan's hookup isn't some grand scheme between the cousins, then finding out about both Dylan and Connor would seem to be a gut punch in more ways than one. It seems it would make Noah question his whole view of himself, the power he has, and perhaps how he uses that power. That may be a good thing in the end, but won't come without a lot of heartache and turmoil in the process. The scariest part is the possibility (maybe likelihood) that Noah continues to double down on the behavior/inclinations you mention above, after 16 and 17. The ride could get so erratic, unpredictable and heartwrenching! So far it's still simmering and I have no idea what to expect! Months of fun, c*m and emotional rollercoasters ahead!
