eeee, you’re so sweet hehe i’m glad you enjoyed the read! 🥰💘

hmmm hmmm it’s very hard to describe how i feel about already-committed-relationship ivan displaying jealousy. it’s kind of weird? because some part of him knows that till isn’t really, like. into him??

there’s a whole side conversation to be had here about how i think till has trouble processing romance in general (due to being demisexual) and it just would never coincide with ivan’s obsessive nature haha. not that till doesn’t love him in his own way!! he’s just not a maniac

all of that is to say, i don’t necessarily know if ivan would read himself as jealous. yes he definitely bruises harder and wants to leave lasting bite marks on till, because till is his…but it’s more of “he’s going to leave me and i know it, so i’ll take everything i can get while it’s mine” sort of thing???

till is the only one who knows how to disengage ivan’s nuclear codes lmao and also till’s EQ is higher. so he has to be the one to be like. dude. calm down. i’m not going anywhere it’s just a crush okay!! haven’t you ever had a crush on someone unobtainable

(ivan side eyeing him)

till, blushing: OTHER THAN ME, MORON
ivan: absolutely not

till is flattered and embarrassed but rolls his eyes. geez.

idk if either of them would say i love you tbh. IF one of them was going to, it would certainly be till before ivan lol. words of affirmation and all that. ivan the type of guy to be like “i would run into traffic for you” and till is like “please don’t”

i adore rambling!! you’re welcome to ramble at me anytime. mwah 😘
