Are you kidding?! You're not bad at commenting at all, this comment is awesome!! Thank you so much. ♥

I like your asexual!Charlie observations because that's something that kind of kept coming through while I was writing this, even though I knew it was going to basically just be porn. In the context of this, I sort of imagined him as being someone for whom sexuality just isn't really a THING, like he masturbates very occasionally and feels super awkward about it, and sometimes gets slight crushes on people, but that's as far as it goes. And it's not that he's not open to it going further, it's just that there isn't really that URGE, until Alex starts the whole thing off by kissing him. On a slightly-related note, I'm glad you caught the Forever Yours reference! Srsly, to me, that song reads as Alex coming to terms with his feelings for asexual!Charlie, it just does, and I cannot see it any other way.

I think writing this gave me a thing for Alex sucking cock as well. Idk, I just imagine him to be REALLY into giving head, whoever he's with? PERSONAL CANON THAT IS BACKED UP BY BASICALLY NOTHING. Part of the reason I love your comment is because it's so interesting to see, like, people's insight into the fic and their own backstory and what they're imagining is going on under the surface. Like, your interpretation of it as borderline-asexual!Charlie, and Alex being a little bit arrogant. Idk, it's interesting because I didn't really want to dig too deeply into Charlie's potential issues, and I was trying to make sure Alex came across more caring and lovely than full of himself, but obviously some things broke through because I was thinking about them. And it's like, some people pick up on that and some people don't, and it's just cool to know that the things I was vague about still came across.

ALSO yesss oh my god, imagine them going ~all the way? I was so tempted to write that as well but honestly I find it really difficult to imagine, and clearly this was long enough already. But I do think it would be super interesting, because Alex acts like he's done it all and sex is no big deal, but maybe that would be something he HASN'T done, and all of a sudden he realises he's kind of out of his depth. And Charlie is like "Now you know how I feel. -_-"

OKAY FINALLY thank you again, so much, for this comment, because it is delightful.
