I don't see them being a couple in the long run... I mean, the ML doesn't actually care what the MC says, his thoughts also pointed towards using him just for s€x

@Emili Lion I think we are in for a slow burn when it comes to the ML's feelings. I think our lil chibby will break him down over time but the MC will definitely go thru lots of angst on that journey
