I see the comments and I understand, but Alex isn’t trying to drag Theo along. In Alex’s eyes Theo is just a hookup, they had planned for that and he thinks that if he keeps things the way they started Theo will take the hint. Alex isn’t noticing the small gestures that Theo has committed to providing, and is blind to Theo’s feelings due to his own emotional response towards Jon. As for Theo, he cannot blame Alex for not wanting to reciprocate the feelings he has, Alex has not been explicitly told how his actions are affecting Theo nor how Theo feels for Alex. I understand that the point of the dinner was to discuss this, but only from our perspective can we see what happened, Alex had no idea what Theo was planning, and he needed help legitimately from Jon to fix a situation he kinda messed up. Alex could have asked Theo, but once again he only saw Theo as a hookup, not a single thing more.
Alex is at the lowest point in his life. He has neither money nor love, and resorts to sleeping on a friend’s couch, waiting for his life to turn around.
Jon is a normally happy-go-lucky guy, thrust into a new city and is in desperate need of a friend.
A chance encounter with each other at a bar on New Year’s Eve changes their lives forever, and a story of love, friendship, and family is born.
