Spoilers / heavy theory about Chester (and Dave) (and it's a long one)
So, let's recap what Eddy knows about Chester so far regarding his little investigation.
- Day 1 -
Chester has a "no dating policy" for his employees even outside of work because of some recent incidents
When both he and Dave opens and closes, Chester somtimes takes long breaks in the middle of the day spending most of that time at the gym
- Day 2 -
The very next day the same thing happens, here's the convo :
Dave "You'll be out for a couple hours again today, love?"
Chester "Yup, ....... from 1pm to 4pm"
Dave "Oh? Extra hour? Is it full-body day?"
Chester "Something like that" while winking
Dave has a smirk spread on his face ; Maybe they speak in a coded language only they understand ?
When Chester and Eddy talk about going to the gym, showers came up ; they are private stalls. Chester says this : "Gang showers can certainly be awkward. You don't want to give anyone the wrong idea. Plus i don't do free shows" and gives a wink and a grin to Eddy.
Eddy gets to the conclusion that Chester knows he's attracted to him (witch might be true), but i think Chester actually means what he said about the 'I don't do free shows" thing
- Day 3 -
Not directly related to Chester but Dave gets reaaaaly physically close to Eddy during the morning pastry time
When Chester bring Eddy to the gym they talk about the event with Dave and Chester says : "I promise i'll be more mindful of your limits. I'm not trying to scare you away on your first week"
At the gym Eddy takes a first look at Chester's chest and body
Eddy discovered a profile on Kroozer with "potentially" Chester's torso cuz it looks similar to what he remembers seeing at the gym erlier in the day. Profile says DL witch means downlow or discreet. Right now Eddy is assuming Chester is looking for descreet hook-ups behind Dave's back.
- Day 4 -
Profile's gone !!! Means Eddy might have been blocked !
- Day 5 -
Chester canceled his "lesson" with his "student" when Dave asked him. Again, maybe a coded language between the two ?
Eddy makes a burner profile on Kroozer
At the bar when Eddy sees Chester he belive even more that Chester might be cheating on Dave, that's when he recaps what he discovered
He finds the profile again at the bar and takes a screenshot
Corey know about Chester's lessons and mentioned that he wasn't able to take as many as he usually do. (Chester says it's beginner guitar lessons, and that it's one of his favorite things)
Chester and Corey seem to be very close, but it seems platonic even with the teasing
Eddy notices how much Chester spent on those drinks, and it was A LOT
- Day 6 -
Dave says that Carey and Chester met AFTER they were already married (15 years of marriage as April said earlier in the day). They hired him 10 years ago. Dave wasn't really involved in the buisness plan of Corey and Chester for the Lounge 2 years ago
Dave asked Eddy if he's seen Chester at the Lounge yesterday, he doesn't elaborate on this but has a pensive look on his face
Chester's interrupted by his phone for the 3rd time for his canceled lesson with "this guy's son" as he says, but when Eddy answers the phone in Chester's office it turns out that the guy doesn't have a son and used the words "appointment" and that he made a downpayment cuz it was for him, not for his "son"
Skixxy says Chester has good taste and it's why he keeps Eddy around. Says he has a thing for big boys and he likes keeping them around for some reason
Chester says to Eddy "But if you're more confortable calling me "sir", then by all means" with emphasis on the "sir"
Chester compliments Eddy for his looks, says it's turning enough of heads as it is
Chester gets reeeeeal sneaky when handling the money to pay for the drinks. Says to Eddy not to worry about it, but when Eddy insists he gets really intense, putting his paw on Eddy's shoulder with a tight grip and a frightening look on his face, TELLING him not to worry about it, not asking it. (so much for not scaring Eddy away in the first week...)
So, with all that in mind i have a theory (or two) regarding Chester.
1 - We know that he and Dave have 15 years of marriage already, them being in their late 30 must mean they married as young adults, so an early marriage that lasts as long, i'm guessing they have a good relationship and communicate a lot
2 - With them being married for so long, it could also mean that someone (Chester in that case) might be unfaithful and hides it very well, witch could explain the "DL (downlow)" mention in his alleged Kroozer profile that Eddy found
3 - There are moments where Chester and Dave seem to speak with some sort of coded language. On day 2 about "full body day" and on day 5 about his "lesson". Corey know for those "lessons" as well (same day). I'm guessing they're talking like that because it's their personnal life and they don't really want their staff to know what they do outside of work (witch is totally normal), but at least they're communicating about it. And even with all that we don't know what all of this is really about.
4 - With that in mind we can also assume that the full-body day means something more spicy, and that those lessons are not really lessons about guitar. The conversation Eddy had with the "client" or "student" on day 6 lead me to think of something. What if those lessons were actually Chester being an escort or something like that ? The guy made a downpayment for an appointment, and if the Kroozer profile really belongs to Chester, it could mean he uses it as some sort of side buisness as a sex worker. I say this because of what he said to Eddy on day 2 about him "not doing free shows"...
But that's stretching the idea veeeeery far since we don't have all the pieces of information, only bits here and there.
5 - I don't really know what to say about Chester apparently keeping Eddy around because he likes big boys like his husband. He seems to genuinely think Eddy is a good employee in a professional way. But then again, Chester spending so much on drinks for someone he knows since 5-6 days seems a bit uncalled for, unless he reaaaly likes Eddy that much.
Dave loves to hug people, but him getting physicaly close to Eddy in day 3 doesn't seem to be something you do with all your employees even tho it seemed natural for Dave so i don't really know what to think of that.
6 - The way Chester spoke and acted towards Eddy at the end of day 6 kinda surprised me. We never saw him act like that before. Was it stress ? Too much excitement after a succesfull concert ? Was it him wanting to treat Eddy so much that he went overboard and got too far ? Or was it something else....? I guess we'll see about that behavior later in his route.
So to conclude and make it a short version,
- Chester is cheating on Dave, covering it with "extra hour of workout" and "guitar lessons with students" but actually he has some private side buisness and discreet sexy time with other men
OR
- He's not cheating and his workouts and lessons are genuine and it's a big missunderstanding from Eddy
OR
- Chester and Dave actually are in an open marriage/relationship, and the profile is actually a shared one between the two of them even tho it's only Chester's chest on the profile pic, and they manage the "extra workout" and "lessons" with the profile TOGETHER.
OR
- I got it all wrong and it's something else entirely lol
Either way that's my take on Chester's route so far and i'm excited for the next updates, whether it's for Darrel or Chester.
