Comment by mayhem on Wet Sand - Chapter 25

I've always prefered the chemistry between Ian an TJ and it was clear that Jo always like Ian more than Ian was ever interested in Jo.

But the thing is, even tho Ian doesn't allow himself to develop feelings for other people, he knows how much Jo likes him and he know that if he wanted, they could have a pretty nice life together.

On the other hand, the feelings Ian has for TJ are too strong for him to just drop him. The only thing that's stopping him (and TJ as well) from being together, are the different principles of life. Ian wants to abandon his previous life completely, but TJ doesn't, and tye fact that TJ continues in that business and still meets with Ian, it's a constant reminder (for Ian) of everything shi*** he had to do before. It's like Ian can't ever escape that reality and it a pretty toxic situation. 

And I strongly believe in the genuineness of Ian's and TJ's feeling for eachother. So when I say, toxic, I dont mean them being together.

Also, the artist has introduced some of the wishes of Jo's life, like his career or wtv, so I think we still have a long way to go, cause he needs to become a career man, All grown up for Ian to have that reality check of like "oh that's what my life could have been".

And never forget, just because Ian and TJ have a really strong relationship right now and have more chemistry, does not mean they're right for eachother. 

(I'm not picking sides just yet tho)
