"You've been playing catch-up your whole life because someone left you. I would never do that to you, no matter what."

and they had the gall to try to convince me that he left Jude after he proposed because the pressure of the relationship was too much. The relationship that he wanted just as badly, even when he was afraid of it because genuine happiness scared him.

I appreciate they had to pivot after the show was cancelled and resurrected after a year because of scheduling conflicts with a lot of actors, but I would have been more okay with Gideon and Jude just chatting over the phone or Skype while he's out of town for some miscellaneous reason.

where's the trophy?

he just comes running over to me

you gave me a house, i want to give you a home.

[Image ID: eight gifs of Jude Kinkade and Zero from Hit The Floor episode 3.10, "Possession." They are in Jude's bedroom, after Zero explains why he won't reach out to his sister. They are sitting together on the bench at the end of the bed:

GIF 1: Zero shrugging as he explains why he's okay if he doesn't reach out to Laura, saying, "Besides...I realized...I already have a family." Jude turns his head to look at him.

GIF 2: Zero looking affectionately at Jude as a small smile flits across his face. He says, "You." The shot shifts to Jude, who looks at Zero in surprise.

GIF 3: Zero holding up a key that he digs out of his pocket, staring at it as he says, "This is the house I grew up in. It still has the sledgehammer I put in the wall. I bought it." Jude looks at the key with him.

GIF 4: A shot of Zero looking at the key, then back up at Jude as he continues to explain, "I put it under both our names. I figured we could renovate it and make that neighborhood the new place to be...if you want." Jude straightens as he inhales, Zero's words beginning to sink in.

GIF 5: Jude looking at the key, laughing incredulously and shaking his head as if Zero even needs to ask, looking back at his boyfriend to say, "Of course I want, stupid." with a happy expression.

GIF 6: Jude leaning forward to kiss Zero, holding him in place with a hand on his jaw. The shot pans to show them as they separate slowly, Zero looking slightly dazed.

GIF 7: Zero smiling as Jude takes the key from him, looking down at it.

GIF 8: Zero tugging Jude into his side as Jude's smile widens as he stares down at the key. Zero kisses the top of his head as his arm slings around Jude's neck.

Aaaaalso Zero is pretty much the only character I can think of who wasn't established as lgbt+ from the beginning. It was seasons later that they revealed he's not straight, soo.. Possibilities for buddie 😁
