I've been studying astrology and hear me out: aloof!Segundus meets touchy!Childermass

It's very fitting that Segundus and Childermass are portrayed as foils in the miniseries because Edward Hogg and Enzo Cilenti are astrological opposites: Ed is an Aquarius and Enzo is a Leo. In matters of love and sex, Aquarians are detached, cerebral, and unconventional. Leos are warm, passionate, touchy, and jealous.

Fandom convention typically puts Childermass in the role of the bodice-ripping hero and Segundus in that of the blushing virgin, but I think their dynamic would be a lot more equal and complex. Give me a cerebral Segundus who's most turned on when keeping his lover at a slight distance (e.g. sex only with clothes on, wanting Childermass to talk to him while he masturbates, etc). Childermass is kinda hurt by this, though of course he's too proud to admit to feeling insecure. Inside, though, he thinks Segundus just sees him as some prop in his sexual fantasies. Does Segundus even like him? Does he think he's special? Does he even CARE? Cue sulking, withdrawing, or passive-aggressive comments that confuse Segundus or go over his head.

Give me total miscommunication! Besotted Segundus compliments Childermass on being so unusual and unconventional! Prideful Childermass uncharitably interprets this as Segundus wanting a bit of rough. Segundus keeps coming up with new kinks like a mad scientist. Childermass privately just wants a passionate, worshipful lovemaking session with maybe a back massage and a bit of flattery. Segundus is absolutely head over heels over the moon. Childermass is like... what are we :/

Bonus: Childermass tries to pick a fight to at least get SOME sparks flying. Segundus turns it into a polite philosophical debate. Childermass is like :| Segundus is more turned on than he's ever been in his life.
