Ahhahaa aw hon it’s fine! It’s a bit of a bag so I understand, and it can easily be glazed over as a joke but it IS actually more than that.
Havok and Luminous met in a battle where Luminous actually ends up deathly afraid of Havok. He can’t seem to beat him despite being a light elemental, so his greatest fear is the darkness, Havok’s main umbrella element, overtakes him. (I do plan on doing a thing for this 8,D)
Instead of killing him, Havok admires that he’s actually a light elemental that craves for evil; something he didn’t even think could be a thing. So immediately Havok is curious about him, and in place of killing him, offers Luminous a chance to join the largest evil empire and learn to harness the powers of darkness to his benefit, instead of fearing it. Luminous denies it at first, but Hov insists, promising that he’d protect him.
Luminous ends up agreeing, and in fear of being in the belly of the beast persay, clings to Havok quite a lot. Hov’s very calm about everything and eases Luminous into life in Kurosia, working for his family, and integrating among other villains. Because he’s tied to Havok, son of the Queen and Emperor, nobody threatens him in fear of Havok fighting back. A strike against Luminous was a strike against Havok, and a strike against him was a strike against the Empire.
Slowly Luminous grows to the life and even more slowly starts to lose his fear of the darkness thanks to his mentor and his carefree life. Havok in turn grows to like him as a close friend and workout buddy. This, however, is when Luminous starts to grow feelings for the hybrid and after years continues to be very secretive of it. Homosexuality wasn’t an okay thing in Light society, though his selfishness and crazed desire to destroy all darkness even at the cost of his fellow light elementals was most prevalent. Kurosia clearly gives no shits about sexuality or gender identity, and Havok quickly picks up on Luminous’ growing crush on him.
Instead of pushing him away or being a dick in general, Havok simply makes it clear he’s not into guys, and continues being friends with Luminous. Careful to not tease him on purpose, or when others tease them he shrugs it off. Havok values Luminous for more than his sexuality so for him, he continues to treat him as a good, close friend and Luminous tries his best to do the same.
Things change when Havok marries Whisper and Luminous follows him to rule a separate kingdom, but that’s where the main of the blog is right now! I hope that clears things up ^u^
