tell me how davis feels about lydia
ASK ME ABOUT MY MUSES! ( for @igniteyourbcnes ) ( accepting )
Davis was always expected to view Lydia as a sibling. Thatwas what was expected due to how close Haley and Brooke were. She was supposedto be like a sister to him and that was supposed to be it. But expectations andpredictions didn’t actually mean anything. Davis Baker started having a crushon Lydia Scott when he was thirteen years old. He didn’t think anything of it (he had had crushes before ) and he chose to ignore it at the time. Lydia washis friend’s little sister. She wasn’t someone he could actually be with. Thatwould have been insane, absolutely unfathomable. So Davis buried his feelingsand prayed that they would go away.
They didn’t go away. He pretended they weregone, and he acted like he was okay seeing other people, and he tried datingother people. But the fact of the matter was that other people were not LydiaScott. It wasn’t the same as dating her. He wanted to be with her, but hecouldn’t bring himself to make a move. He was afraid of disrupting the socialorder of their friend group. It wasn’t easy to harbor a crush like that, and itwas the one thing Davis wasn’t good at – talking about his feelings.
