I'm seeing some doubters among the fandom going all anti Rhett saying that he doesn't genuinely love Link and I'm like y'all are blind.
So what's your favorite "Rhett is so in love" RandL moments to refute their claims?
WHO ANON. WHO IS SAYING RHETT DOESN'T LOVE LINK.
But no, honestly, even platonically Rhett loves him so much.
There's the river story.. [x]
Listening to the recording of child Link's giggles.. [x]
Including Link on his mind map.. [x]
Realizing he'd die for him.. [x]
Looking like he's proposing while earnestly trying to renew their blood oath.. [x]
Being so happy to be back in the studio together after quarantine and making a cookie dough birthday panini for Link.. [x]
Making sure Link is okay during the charity livestream ear piercing...
Helping him when he broke his collarbone (and being so frustrated about not being able to touch his shoulder when he's excited about something)
Protecting him all the time [x/x/x/x]
And thinking everything he does is just the coolest most fascinating thing [x]

Prompt: Rhett meeting links boyfriend after there break up🥺
Thanks for the juicy prompt, lovely anon! I've clearly given up on the drabble thing. Hope you like this!
---
Rhett’s been dreading this day ever since Link’s and his big blowout and the break up that followed. He knew it was coming. He’d just hoped it would have taken a little bit longer. A couple of years maybe. Or a nice round decade.
But no, it only took three months for Link to announce to their friend group that he was bringing a date to the dorm party. Everyone else met his news with vocal excitement. Rhett could only muster a half of a smile while the rest of his capabilities were rerouted to keeping his shattered heart on life support.
That had been a week ago. And here he was now. Link’s new boyfriend. Brad.
Fuck Brad.
Rhett stood at the doorway leading from the living room to the kitchen and scowled at the pair over his half-finished beer. The guy was pretty. Of course Link would get a pretty guy. Link could have his pick of the guys of NC State—gay, bi, even supposedly straight guys on occasion—everyone tended to fall in love with his chaotic but sweet energy. The sparkling-blue eyes weren’t a hindrance either. Neither was that tiny grabbable waist and those soft lips he used so damn well…
Stop that! Rhett shook his head, aggravated with his treasonous brain. Things Link did with his lips was not something Rhett needed to think about while in public, wearing pants that didn’t exactly help hide a possible hard-on. Rhett huffed and took an angry sip of his drink.
Yes, Link could have anyone he wanted, but did it have to be Brad? The guy stood there like he owned the place—he had his arm slung around Link’s shoulders and had this cocky grin on his face that made Rhett’s blood boil. Link was snuggled tightly against him, his arm wrapped around Brad’s waist with his hand stuck into the guy’s jeans’ pocket as if to make sure he wasn’t going anywhere else any time soon. Rhett wanted to gag. Or cry. Possibly both.
“Huh.“ Olivia’s voice startled Rhett and he turned to look at the girl who’d appeared next to him.
“Huh what?”
“Don’t you think…?” Olivia started, tilting his head to the side. Rhett followed her gaze to the happy new couple.
“Think what?” Rhett groused, bracing himself for some kind of a comment about how cute Link’s new boyfriend was. Olivia turned to look at Rhett, cocked her perfectly-sculpted eyebrow and turned back towards Link.
“It’s pretty obvious, isn’t it?” she said, a smile tugging at her lips.
“What are you talking about?” Rhett asked, unable to hide his annoyance. She needed to spit it out, whatever it was, so Rhett could quietly retreat into the kitchen and move as far away from Brad as he could.
Olivia let out a stifled giggle. She covered her mouth and nodded towards the pair. “It’s you.”
Rhett’s heart stuttered. Was he that obvious? Was his gut-wrenching jealousy so easy to read? No one knew about his and Link’s relationship. At least, that’s what he’d thought. Before he could deny, deny, deny, Olivia continued. “Link’s gone and started dating your twin.”
What?
Rhett’s gaze flew back to Brad. And yes, Olivia was kind of right. There was a clear resemblance. Same shaved head and a goatee. Green eyes. Tall and lean. Now that he thought about it, even that annoying as hell smirk was actually quite similar to his own.
Rhett couldn’t help the smile that spread on his face. Olivia was watching him carefully and matched his smile.
“Yeah, you have nothing to worry about. He’s just a band-aid. You’ll be back together in less than a month,” she said, flipping her hair over her shoulder. She nudged Rhett’s side with her elbow. “You can breathe now, McLaughlin. He’s still yours.”
Olivia was gone before Rhett could react. She’d marched through the crowd and was already talking animatedly with Link, ignoring Brad’s attempts at taking part in their conversation. All she left in her wake was a lingering hint of her citrusy perfume and a kindling of hope that now bloomed inside Rhett.

After all the GMMs with Rhett just staring at Link with those heart eyes on his face this spilled out. It's not really a complete story, and I have little idea where it would go from here, but it needed to leave my brain so here you go.
Just a little confession on a random Tuesday afternoon.
Taylor Swift is probably playing in the background.
