Ahh got to "Escape from Happy Place" and forgot how heartbreaking that confession is. Because they could have done it! Quentin was straight up asking Eliot to be in a relationship with him and you see how much Eliot wanted to say yes. But Eliot of course disregards it and they both pretend like it didn't mean anything. It's such a tragic moment because they both clearly want to but are too scared to speak up.
gahhh
It mirrors the scene in "Life in a Day" when the night after they kissed, Eliot tells him not to overthink it. So many lost chances
