#casual physical closeness was present even before things got lovey-dovey but that doesn't mean there weren't moments of gay panic
Note
If Machete and Vasco were roommates before they became a couple, there had to have been moments of innocent touching/body contact, followed by deep gay panic.

#I think the transition from platonic friends to a couple was very gradual the line was blurry#even if they weren't a proper serious item yet their relationship was definitely romantically tinted#by the time they rented that tiny attic room together#Vasco had figured out his orientation early on he was well past the identity crisis phase#Machete had mountains of religious trauma to work through so his road to self acceptance was rocky but he did reach it eventually#he guilt and shame and doubt kept resurfacing every now and then but the need for love and companionship was stronger#Vasco is naturally tactile and affectionate it doesn't take much to get an occasional hug or back pat or hand holding from him#and Machete had grown in a touch deprived bubble so as soon as he managed to overcome the initial fear and repulsion#he began to metamorphose into the lap dog he probably should've been all along#casual physical closeness was present even before things got lovey-dovey but that doesn't mean there weren't moments of gay panic#answered#skunkbomb
