I just think LXC should get a little something out of the realization that the thing with JGY never went to talking about romance because JGY's trauma about the surprise incest made him utterly and entirely unable and unwilling to deal with that even a little
I can't overstate that I think LXC was fine with his relationship with JGY being what it was! it was fine being basically soulmates even if it meant shutting the fuck up about his feelings, because JGY was entirely devoted to his wife!
And then the truth about QS and JGY being related comes out, JGY dies, and LXC is left with knowing that this, too, is something JGY never told him - the thing about QS and him - and JGY hadn't in fact been in love with his wife for a decade
and all of LXC's feelings - feelings for JGY being a good man, maybe the best LXC knew - maybe they could have helped JGY with that part of him. or maybe JGY knew; maybe they made it worse
