the dynamic between two people who love a third person so much and come to understand each other because of that is so important to me. you would put them first, and so would i. you understand why we have to save them from themself. i trust you with their life, and so, that means more than if i trusted you with mine. the love doesn’t have to be the same, but it’s powerful enough that you understand why you’re not the only satellite drawn into their orbit.
this is how i view the love between Ram and Yori
on each side the attraction is mostly attraction to the specific energy of the other one’s connection to Tron
if they’d ever met each other without Tron involved, they could probably have become good friends
but what adds both sexual and romantic attraction to the whole thing is the feeling of “god DAMN you make Tron feel good, and that is extremely hot to me”
…but then. this is just my take, as an extremely biased observer whose own sexuality is somewhere in a messy, contradictory intersection of various elements of poly and pan and aro-ace and mostly really just turned on by imagining my lovers/partners/blorbos with each other
…or something
