The chemistry between Michael and Alex is crazy. Vlamis and Blackburn have incredible on-screen chemistry, and the way they look at each other is reason enough to ship them.

Michael will always love him

This scene is proof enough that Michael and Alex belong together. Michael has always loved Alex and always will. How could you ever be happy with someone else when the person you really love is still out there?

They care about each other more than themselves

When Michael said he didn’t love Alex, he was saying the complete opposite. Michael couldn’t leave the other alien behind, but he didn’t want Alex to stay and die with him. But Alex wasn’t going anywhere without Michael and Michael screamed lies at him as a last resort. These two are ride or die for each other.

Find yourself someone who looks at you the way Michael looks at Alex. Even after ten years, Michael still looks at him with the exact same love in his eyes.

After learning that Michael was an alien, all Alex wanted was answers. He wasn’t afraid of Michael and he definitely didn’t love him any less. He accepts Michael for who he is, inside and out.

They’ve loved each other for a decade

You can’t love someone for a decade and then shut off your feelings for them. Michael and Alex’s love has survived a lot over the years, which makes us positive there’s nothing they can’t overcome.
