fanart for the thief trilogy

specifically the assassin, chapter 12

Kyle is a person who desperately needs support, empathy, and someone willing to listen to him be a neurotic nutcase. Someone who can walk the tightrope between sympathetic nodding and calling him out on his bullshit when he goes too far. That is Kenny. And that is what starts the infatuation. Sure, Kyle has his "oh no he's hot" moments that lead to him accepting that there's a crush, but the seeds were planted long before said moments while Kenny was being his soundingboard. Kenny would give sound advice from being a wise silent observer of the world and would offer philosophical insights that would have Kyle lying awake at night swimming in his simplistic but sagely prose.

And as he was able to vent to Kenny, he would return the favor, and Kenny would open up to him more than he would anyone else because Kyle understands the nature and the necessity of give-and-take. Ken would tell him his hopes and his dreams and his struggles and his triumphs and Kyle would be enthralled with both the notion of being the privileged few knowing this side of him and also just the fascination with the multitude of facets of Kenny's personality.

While Kyle himself is someone brimming with emotions, Ken is, too, and to the point where he would be infectious. He would be the best at pulling Kyle through the riptide of his own psyche with a perfectly timed innuendo or a suggestion for cheap chinese and an alley to break bottles and make out to get out some pent-up frustrations. Kenny would just understand Kyle better than anyone else and have a knack for calming his never-ending storms and making him a better person along the way. Kyle needs someone who understands him, someone willing to have patience and kindness while he grows and has a few inevitable stumbles along the way. Kenny has an emotional intelligence that few others do and Kyle would adore it and his coinciding big heart.
