I'm not trying to fight, but I'm far away from being a kid and because of that, I can truly enjoy the incredibly deep bond and chemistry Ian and TJ have. Does TJ have toxic reactions? He might. Do I have doubts he's in love with Ian in his imperfect way? Absolutely don't. They both have a past, share a shi*** background and the shi*** things they did to be where they are, and most important, they know and accept each other as they are. As an adult, I find it childish that some people want Ian to become the perfect guy to fulfill whatever clueless fantasy Jo has about him because hello, he "fell" for Ian knowing anything about him beyond he's hot and whatever he wanted to see about him.
I don't know if Ian and TJ will end up together (I hope so), but dismiss their bond and that both love each other (according to the info we got up until now at least), saying it's a kid's thing... Love can be toxic, love can be unhealthy, love can be imperfect, but if both of them are in the same page and that bond is well portrayed as it is in this story, I'm completely in. Enough we have of pink cliches in which everything is perfect and also of those incredibly dark ones in which one of them is criminally abusive and the other one can't stand on his own.

But Ian himself says he's being selfish at keeping TJ at his side. Both are equally toxic, I'm not saying their bond is not damaged. What I'm saying is that both deeply love each other and they don't care as long as they have each other.
And this might be my own interpretation here, but TJ doesn't want Ian to work for him in that mafia business, he wants him there to keep it at sight and protect him. You can't read this and tell me you genuinely think that TJ doesn't want Ian safe and sound in their Cali manor enjoying a quiet life while working on his motorbikes.
I started my comment saying that both are toxic so I don't know who doesn't unsee toxic according to you. But it's ok, I said I'm not here to fight (:
I hope you find other stories that keep it light and ordinary! I have quiet a few to recommend myself if you want.
Have a nice day!
