Disclaimer: I do not own the show or any of the characters. I do this for fun.
They sleep with their backs to each other, never touching then if they can help it, and were it anyone else Luther would wonder what the hell kind of relationship this is, where that becomes the norm. But they don't have a relationship, not unless you stick the phrase love-hate before it, maybe minus the love.
This is not a relationship, and it's not love. It's easy to say what it's not, but what it is, and why, Luther can't say. He hates him - God, he hates him more than he's ever hated anyone - but he's his last real connection to April, in some twisted way, and he can't let go of that. So he fucks him, tries to hurt him as much as he can when he does, gives him smack from time to time, and sleeps with his back turned, wishing like hell he could let go and put a bullet through the bastard's heart.
