If I'm being honest Val would be actively simping for both Runie and Damian like he'd see them in the corner of his eye and be like "OH MY GOD DID YOU SEE THOSE CUTIES!?!??????" then fantasize in his room at 3 AM about 'em until he falls asleep and has one of those weird dreams about Buzzcut Bela (him in step one pre-transition but hairless) throwing an axe at his head then wake up and think "I know I just had that weird ahh dream again but... OH MY GOD THOSE TWO BOYS WERE SO FINE!!!" while kicking his legs and holding his green bunny plush named Merrlynnduhhh
