OK no one asked for this but I'll happily scream into the void just to hear my own echo: here's my finally stable ranking of the boys after a fierce battle between n.2 and 3

1. Raf
2. Caleb
3. Sylus
4. Xavier
5. Zayne

This considers both who my main MC romantically vibes with better, who I enjoy seeing with my different MCs, the narrative themes and tropes they use etc. But with just these variables I always ended up with Caleb and Sylus switching place based on the banner, and Xavier battling with Zayne over who gets the best dynamic and plot every other card. Too messy, but not that big of a deal as long as we're in the bottom half of the ladder. The upper part needed to be sorted, though, and after some time spent examining my gut feelings (and watching many tiktok edits) I ended up putting Caleb in the throne at n.2. Why? 
N.1 and N.2 are the guys I truly genuinely do not trust to be normal if they ever lost MC. The others? Given enough time to process and grieve: proper rational adults. Those two at the top? Different shades of completely unhinged codependency, and that's too compelling for me to ignore so Caleb gets the spotlight too.
