Carmelo x Rudy is toxic as fuck and you have to accept that.
If there was someone who made you even more suicidal than you already were and they also made you feel horrible enough to c7t yourself, you wouldn't want to date them.
The someone is Carmelo and "you" is rudy. I know carmelo is trying to be a better person but if he doesn't get his shit together and actually apologize instead of panicking over realizing what you have done not doing anything about it, maybe it could be ok.
But rudy probably hates him, and before you say "oh but what about when they first met??" their first meeting was Carmelo reminding rudy of his fucking trauma.
I don't hate carmelo. He's a good character but he's not perfect whatsoever. Reread the earlier paragraphs to know why, Carmelo has good opportunities for ships, sure! Like tobias, but rudy is not one of them. Until their relationship gets better,
Rudy hates him and that's final.
