About Rlain x Renarin future relationship

I'm so excited to see scenes of Rlain and Renarin in SA5! I can't stop thinking about them lately.

I want to see how they realize about their romantic feelings for each other, their doubts, insecurities, how they will declare their love for each other, etc. I think it will be something very beautiful. Also, since this is the first time we are going to see a homosexual relationship between two important characters in a Sanderson book, I'm very curious to know how the author will handle it in the story. Sometimes Sanderson isn't very good at writing romance, but there are some really well-written relationships in his stories! Like Susebron x Siri, Dalinar x Navani, Adolin x Shallan, Wax x Steris… so I think he will do a good job.

Besides! It will be the first time we see a romantic relationship between a listener/singer and a human! That will surely be a scandal in Alethi society and for the singers society as well. I'd like to see if the other characters are able to accept it, how they will treat them, and if they have problems, how Rlain and Renarin will confront them to defend their love and will be one of the definitive proofs that the collaboration between both races is possible, helping both peoples to alienate each other in one.

They both have a lot in common being reserved people, sometimes pushed aside as weirdos by others, and they're both now Truthwatchers, so there's a lot of potential there to explore here, in how much they're able to understand each other. Not to mention that they've already a solid friendship as members of Bridge 4, which will make their future relationship develop a stronger bond.

I'd love to see a scene in later books of Renarin learning the rhythms so he can show his feelings of love through songs and sounds and to undertand the way singers comunicate their feelings, and Rlain also showing affection intimately in ways they can both feel comfortable. From what we've seen so far, they seem to be a couple who could have such a great emotional connection that they would be able to understand each other without the need for words and even show each other affection without too much carnal need. I think all this could be very interesting.

And another important fact! Renarin is supposed to be the main POV in book 7, after the 10 year time skip, so if Rlain survives (pls!) that means we could read romantic scenes of them already being mature adults, and probably married! And we can also get more scenes about them in flashbacks! I really want to see all this. If they are written well they have the potential to be one of the best couples in the Cosmere, and oh I can't wait to see it!
