Valentine Rushford's Links
Although Valentine is far too polite and kind to say it, a part of him sort of hates Hunter for all of the years of abuse he put him through. He still has nightmares about Hunter at times, but tries to be a good brother and help him through his troubles. Although reluctant, he's come to forgive Hunter because he's the only family he has left and a part of him still cares... They are twins, after all.
Ever since they were children, Hunter has been obsessed with Valentine. They are twin brothers and yet he was honestly, truly in love with Valentine for most of his life. Hunter knows his affliction for his brother is unhealthy and has recently tried to cut down on their communication to show Dominic that he doesn't feel that way anymore.
Valentine fell for Jona instantly, having a connection with him that was beyond words. At first, he felt bad for roping Jona into the difficulty he was going through... but soon found himself incredibly thankful to have Jona in his life.
Despite years of being together, however, Valentine still finds it hard to be open and honest with Jona about things that might upset him.
From the moment they met, Jona knew that he needed to protect Valentine. Seeing the kind of life Val had lived up until that point, he immediately realized that the sweet boy was someone who was in need of 'saving'. And even after being married for over twenty years, he still feels that way, despite how much Valentine has grown.
Secretly, Valentine is amused because it always seems like Caspar doesn't know how to talk to him without saying the wrong thing. It's become sort of a joke to him now and he can't help but to smile every time it happens. Valentine also loves to take photos of Caspar, who is an amazing model.
Caspar always feels awkward around Valentine because it seems like he always ends up saying the wrong thing to him. He still tries, however, and cares about Valentine's well being quite a bit.
Macintosh is a good friend of Valentine's and he always appreciates when Macintosh sends over food or comes over to talk to himself or Jona. He often sends text messages to Macintosh about random things and chats with him often.
Macintosh sees Valentine as a lost soul who needs to be protected, even though Valentine has gotten back on his feet. He loves that they chat often and enjoys their conversations.
Valentine tries his best to be kind to Dominic, but knows there is a lot of hatred toward him. He doesn't understand why Dominic stays with his brother, Hunter, after everything that Hunter has done to Val.
Although at first, Dominic attempted to put aside everything that had happened and be friends with Valentine... he has grown to hate him. He knows that it isn't Valentine's fault that Hunter loves him, but Dominic can't get over the fact that Hunter will never truly love him because Valentine exists.
Father - Just wants Mable to love him.
Daughter - Dislikes dad father for various reasons.
Admittedly, the reason Valentine first approached August was because of him being a brother to Val's husband, Jona. Despite having never known about August, however, he ended up becoming very attached to him and even considers him his OWN sibling. But Valentine isn't great at confrontation, so he ended up lying for six years before the truth accidentally came out in the worst possible way.
Although Valentine technically rescued August from a life of torment, August can't help but to feel the only reason why is because Valentine is married to his older brother. At first he really adored Val and even had a crush on him before he knew about Val's marriage to Jona, but recently his trust for Val has taken a major blow.
When he first heard that his abusive twin had a biological 'son', Valentine felt extremely conflicted. Hunter may have been a r*pist and a control freak... but that didn't really mean his kid should be punished for his sins, right?
But, upon learning that Axel didn't want to meet HIM, he's actually starting to feel a little.. offended?
After his own complicated past with his brother, the LAST thing Axel wants is to face him in some sort of alternative universe... especially since it seems that any time he even THINKS about Val, his head begins to hurt and he starts to have flash backs that aren't his own. Ones where his brother isn't the same and he's... he's not the same either...
