martin/elias is an absolutely hilarious ship if you ignore the angst potential because like. they would outwardly look like a genuinely loving relationship but they’re playing 4d chess mentally the whole time. martin’s doing his whole innocent and caring sweetheart act to manipulate jonah. jonah’s doing his whole boring and non-threatening manager act to manipulate martin. it’s like a fake dating trope but both of them think they’re fooling the other into thinking it’s real
thinking abt martin showing simple but genuine affection for elias and he accidentally says “i love you” and martin’s immediately like “haha. i got you you stupid idiot. i fucking got you by being a loving and supportive boyfriend. i’m gonna keep doing it anyways but i fucking got you”
