Marlow and Lottie work together, and Marlow thinks Lottie is super nice and pretty chill. He considers her a good enough work-friend to invite her to one of Simon's 'small parties' to help cheer her up after she broke up with Lola, her ex-girlfriend. Marlow kinda abandoned her once they got there, but she actually started hanging out with Simon, so Marlow got let off the hook for that little screw-up
Lottie thinks that Marlow is such a chill dude, and is super easy to talk to.
Best friends. Confides much in Kelsey- her best friend from all the way back in grade school- who's almost like an aloof-but-caring big sister to her.
Sees Blythe as the sister she never had -- always there to listen to her problems, or just how her day went. One of the few people Kelsey thinks she can truly trust no matter what
Ashton is Andy's old co-worker, and now part time friend since Andy got a new job. Ashton was one of the only dudes at his old job that stuck up for Andy whenever Andy was being put down because of his trans identity by the manager. Andy has an unspoken respect for him now and they hang out every so often and bro it out
Zane loves Alexis a lot. Like... a lot a lot. I think even though they have dated for a bit and they have moved in with each other, Zane gets worried that Alexis is going to get bored of him one day since that's what his brother tells him. To counteract this, Zane tells Alexis everything on his mind, whether or not it's good or bad, and tells her to do the same, so they can always know when the other person is having a bad day or needs something.
At first, Mags was super skeptical of Dal. Since he had been so open to the idea of trying a poly relationship with a guy that he knew well, and a girl he had just met, Mags started to think that Dal was just trying to steal Basil behind her back.
She was anxious about him until he suddenly gave her a rose one day, and Mags, who was use to having no attention from her significant others, was overjoyed, and it let her give him another chance, which quickly blossomed into a romantic relationship between the two. She loves Dal a lot, and he gives her lots of reason to buy and show off cute new lingerie, which mags is super excited about.
Basil is in a poly relationship with Dalziel and Mags. He met him at a local coffee shop, and though Basil really wasn't looking for a relationship so soon after breaking up with Bolt, he greatly appreciated talking to Dal and the conversations about art and writing they would have. One day, when they were sitting together at the café, Mags showed up and saw Dal. Basil was a little concerned that they would like, fight or something (even though he wasn't really 'dating' either of them) but instead, it was actually suggested that the three of them should start a poly relationship. Basil thought the idea was crazy at first but it actually ended up really working and being very healthy for everyone involved, so they moved in together. Basil and Dal tend to have their interest in the creative sides of things in common, and Basil thinks Dal's written stuff is amazing and that he is an artist with words. Basil loves Dal a lot.
Basil has only met Alexis once, but she has had a big impact on his life. Basil's ex-boyfriend, Bolt, was secretly in a relationship with Alexis, without Basil's knowledge. Alexis and Basil’s mutual friend, Nate (who admittedly wasn’t the biggest fan of Bolt anyway) found out and had them meet. Basil does not hold a grudge against her because he knows that she had no idea that Bolt was dating Basil either. When Basil found out, though, he ended things with Bolt.
Josh has very mixed feelings about Leo. On ONE hand, he seems pretty cool and when they meet through Nate, they talk somewhat. But on the other hand, Leo did not take his shit of hanging around the coffee shop when Lotte was working and now Josh has an unspoken ban from the shop when Leo is working, because he was hanging out there too often.
Josh met Lotte because he was friends with her brother, Trent. Since the first time that Josh met her, he thought she was super duper cool AND pretty, and he started to REALLY like her, to almost obsessive levels.
Lotte has a boyfriend though, so Josh never got a chance to really get to know her close. He just enjoyed hanging around her and enjoying her company. But, Josh, to this day, still has a lil crush on her.
Nate was one of the first friends Basil made when he moved to the city. Basil knows Nate is also an artist and respects him greatly for that. He thinks that he's a cool guy over all, and Nate also tipped him off that Bolt was cheating on him with Alexis, so Basil is grateful to him for this. He considers him a friend. If Basil is going to anyone's party, it's Nate's party. He feels a little out of place around all Nate's cool friends, so lately he's just been hanging out at home and watching movies with his girlfriend and boyfriend. Basil still really appreciates Nate's company though.
Nate holds high respect towards Basil. He appreciates Basil's company, and thinks he's a well-rounded guy.
Nathanael thinks that Leo is a really nice, sincere guy. Even though Nat never went out of his way to be friendly back, Leo was always so welcoming and warm to him, going as far as to try to be friends with him outside of seeing him at work. Nate likes his chill attitude, it's really calming. It would probably really great if he could enjoy it without Dylan in the middle of them all the time, but you take what you can.
Zane isn't sure what to think about James. He's been super aggressive towards wanting to meet Zane, and it's kind of freaking him out a bit, to be honest.
Nat is probably a lil too introverted to get too close to Nate, but he thinks that he's a good guy, and although they've only talked 1 on 1 a few times, he thinks that they relate to a lot of things... their name being one of them B)
James is another live painter, competition in Bolt's eyes. He thinks James is an okay artist, but his attitude kinda annoys Bolt. But James also looks up to him in a way, so Bolt doesn't tell him to buzz off, because maybe there's another chance to manipulate again.
Bolt hates this guy. Nathaniel has single handedly ruined two of his good relationships, gotten in a fist fight with him, and just been an all around awful experience for Bolt. No matter what Bolt does, he keeps seeming to cross paths with this jerk and it ticks him off.
Nate holds Cole on a very high pedestal. He feels that Cole has changed him to be a better man, and for that he appreciates Cole that much more. He adores Cole's personality, and enjoys the time the two spend together. Also he thinks Cole's accent is the cutest.
Cole loves Nate a lot and has no time expressing to him that he does. Enjoys being the ultimate cuddle/smooching boyfriend for Nate.
