“Did you ever stop to think that you’re using this fucked up competitiveness as an excuse? That you feel shit so strongly for him that you don’t know how to cope with it, so you turn it into hate?”
What's interesting is that Devon actually does know this - he's just in denial. Interesting that Nate is almost comparing him to a schoolboy with a schoolyard crush. He's the first person to acknowledge Devon's (somewhat stunted) feelings for Maddox and let him know that it's okay. Devon needs to hear this, and hear that somebody accepts him unconditionally.
