Former Lover

Geale happily sat on a bar stool as Marnthe tied his long hair up. He was still giddy from waking up next to the older man. Sure, he got scolded again for seducing Marnthe so early in the morning but at least they weren't awkward with each other.

One of the many things Geale learned from his previous flings and relationships was the importance of respect and communication.

While he didn't really want Marnthe to walk Fai home, he understood that the older man valued the interaction. That was why he encouraged him to do as he pleased. Geale appreciated how everyone else tried to dissuade Marnthe, but he thought it was better to not insist on his wants.

That didn't mean he wasn't upset. It took everything he had to not express his bitterness in front of Marnthe. That was why he rushed out to swim after they bid goodbye to the crew.
