Lin's Links
the literal definition of gay for this boy, but he's also Lins closest friend and he would do anything for him since theyve been together for so long. He finds it comforting to be around Theo and they've shared numerous things (like food and clothes), had tons of sleepovers (which he's happy that Theo's mom doesn't mind at all), and can generally talk about any and everything, from shows to games to life. He really likes hearing Theo talk though. Once he got out of his shell he rambles about everything to Lin.
Theo met Lin in 8th grade (and they were in their last year abt to graduate before everything happened, so they;ve know each other for about 5 years). Theo was at the library doing homework and he took a break to read some comics when Lin sat next to him to talk about it. They clicked instantly. Lin was apparently always transferring to new schools and didn't live in the area then. They kept in touch until Lin said he'd be transferring to his school. From there they became even closer, Lin walking to and from school with him, hanging out at his house on the weekends and standing up as best as he could for him. Theo was vaguely unaware he had a crush on him until it was too late.
Lin being the guy he is was fine with Kai but he had immediately picked up on his feelings for Theo, making it difficult to really socialize with Kai. Mind you he's still trying but of course he doesn't hate Kai, he's just very weary around him. He's still trying to fix the air between them though but that may be leading to something else
He absolutely despises Lin. When he first saw Theo run into the blonde , Lin tightly embracing him in his arms he felt nothing but jealousy and slight anger. Lin is an okay guy he thought at first, but the blonde he was quick-witted and smart, so it took him only a little while to realize the demon had also liked Theo. Kai is caring by nature but annoyed very easily. So for awhile the air between him and Lin was odd. Although what he once felt as anger and envy has gradually subsided into something different overtime. Not quite the same as what he feels for Theo but maybe...just maybe something simliar?
Lin is well aware that E s t h e r is well-aware of his feelings for her son, which kind of embarasses him, but he's happy that she doesn't mind at all and still tries to include him in their lives. Especially considering Lins own mom walked out on him when he was younger and his father is blazingly homophobic (main reason why Theo can never go to his house) so he feels way more comfortable at the Hunter house
Esther considers Lin to family even with how much he was always over at their house to hang out with her son (playing games, doing homework, having dinner together and a few sleepovers here n there). His feelings towards Theo haven't gone unnoticed as she's sharp, and she honestly supports it. Lin is a very nice young boy in her eyes and she wouldnt want anyone else around her boy.
