I just love how your account just became the 'dumping ground' of all our inner repressed ideas on rocket boys. I just love how all the contents just flows into my feed once in a while.
Anyway, I think Vikram is the one who is the confused gay in the beginning. While in Cambridge, he had seen boys sneaking into the dark and share kisses. He was surprised (not in a homophobic kinda way), he had questioned, sort of curious of how 'love' was like between two men. But for the time being, he had let it go.
Fast forward to Cosmic Ray Unit, IISc., holy cow who is this tall mad man with witty replies and motivational quotes jumping around to find rubber balloons?
Homi, as you said, KNOWS he's the bi in bitch. And he was instantly taken in by the new yet impracticable idea this young man with the adorable ears, cute mole and a sunny smile.
So, yes, over the projects they bonded; Vikram shied away when Homi complemented and gradually he also gains his own confidence and flirted back little to Homi's utter surprise.
Vikram could no longer deny that how much he was crushing over Homi, how much attracted he was to him, how much in love he was with the charming intelligent man.
Homi, was confident in his skin, and he knew Vikram was all new to this. So he gave Vikram the time to grow.
Thus he was extremely surprised when he found Vik in the after hours in the CRU saying how much he loved him......
I like to think, Vikram is the one who made his attraction towards the other clear (not a full flegded love proposal, 'I like you.. kinda confession)
However Homi felt, quite narcissistically, how much of a charm he exudes on other people. He realised Vikram was just a product of that. He would soon be off marrying someone else. But to reject this attraction between them would be a crime.
They had their courtship period, with not trying to push the other's limit, a dash of mutual pining. Vikram's love grew everyday. He had allowed it.
Unlike Homi, who tried to limit it at first, as he was sure Vikram would leave him one day.
But he had already fallen head-first in love (as one of your earlier post suggested).
And they both realised it when a break-point came to their relationship.
They had worked together like cogs amd wheels, they felt a love declaration was not needed.
But here, Homi will be the one to address how much he loved him, to make Vikram stay....
Friend to lovers, mutual pining, heartbreak, I'm here for it all.
And yes, please, dear writers, write more fics.
