Spoilers for the Build 40 update:
Bryan has feelings for Ben and doesn't know it, and Ben sucks a lot at communicating which is putting Bryan on the spot needlessly as he is trying to both communicate with him and deny (especially to himself) this fact. I love it all, can't wait to see if the dispute will ever be fixed or if Ben will end up in a constant relationship limbo that will be intriguing to read.
