Yes! I could totally see this. And now I want fic.
I wonder if Theo could ever admit to himself, in that context, that Boris is the love of his life? I think it would be very difficult for him, especially if Boris isn't there all the time, because for Theo "I love you" means "You will be killed in a museum explosion."
Pippa is safe not just because she's unavailable, but because she already survived the explosion and so is the one person for whom it's in the past rather than looming in the future.
But! Theo literally did save Boris's life! Maybe he could take that as the disaster that, this time, was finally averted.
I just want those two crazy traumatized addict kids to be happy together, goddammit.
