This was certainly an interesting and fun read, with dixon's mask and "new appendage" being metaphors for still being in the closet and sexuality. Dixon feels quite relatable, to me at least.
Unsure about himself and falls upon being a pissy jack ass as a form of bravado to hide his more vulnerable side and new feelings about himself and he has quite a literal mask off moment with otto about wanting to get absolutely pinned and railed by the hunk. While also being reaffirmed about his queerness.
Otto, while hot he feels...too perfect or my likes. He works two jobs, volunteers at the club he invited dix to, has a fully kitted out apartment and studies at college all at the age of 22. Like, do you not need sleep? While it's certainly possible for someone to be well put together at that age it's certainly very rare if he's not getting external help by family especially in this day and age. But he is someone that dixon needs to help navigate his sexuality and queerness.
Overall it is a silly but cute short story vn. I kind of hope this gets turned into a full fledged thing later down the line.
