I've been wanting to complete a sketch page showing Sho and Oakley's rocky relationship for YEARS.

Their relationship is plagued by a constant cycle of arguing and "make-up" sex. Oakley desires deep, intimate love, but fails to communicate what he wants because he fears showing vulnerability. He is emotionally unavailable and shuts down when Sho is in need of emotional support. He uses sex and drinking as an outlet to avoid talking about his feelings. Sho, on the other hand, is emotionally immature and often blows up over small annoyances. He has a tendency to catastrophize, fearing any one thing can lead to their breakup: he is terrified of being alone and is co-dependent on Oakley. After seven years of frustration and "settling for one another," the two eventually break up and become better friends because of it.
