Demonstrably so, in that Beecher stabbed Keller. Keller tried to win him back in season three, even confessing to the authorities his role in the Beecher attack to prove his penitence, but his true love remained unmoved. And it turns out that, like a prison-yard version of She’s All That with multiple fractures, even though his devotion started as a prank … he really developed feelings for Beecher. Stabs of Regret, and Also Stabs and Regretīut wait! Keller may be a sociopath, but he’s the kind of sociopath who can love. Ha-ha! And then, after breaking Beecher’s heart, Keller proceeded to break both of his arms and legs, while Schillinger looked on mockingly. It quickly became a den of humiliation: Keller and Schillinger smugly arrived to reveal that the two were old friends, and had concocted a scheme for Keller to play with Beecher’s emotions.

They confided in each other, and they wrestled - not with their sexuality, but actual, literal, macho-type wrestling on a gym mat.

When Keller tried to dream up ways to cover up the swastika brand on Beecher’s ass (imprinted by Schillinger), Beecher was touched. When Beecher had nightmares about the fatal car accident, Keller was there for him.

And yet his calloused heart thawed when he got his new roommate, sociopath Chris Keller, who had been locked up for shooting the owner of a grocery store he was robbing. But by season two, Beecher was hardened, having beaten up and shat on his archenemy Vern, then bitten off the tip of the penis of the next Nazi who tried to force Beecher to fellate him.

Their passionate love affair was filled with sweet caresses, stabbings, deep kisses, arm-breaking, tender words, and murder plots a gay love affair far more passionate than anything seen on Looking. A badass who, against all of his instincts, gets in touch with his tender side? Sounds like Meloni is returning to his roots: Back in 1998, he was introduced on HBO’s GLAAD-nominated Oz as psychotic murderer Chris Keller, whose devious plan to mind-fuck Job-like convict Tobias Beecher (Lee Tergesen) evolved into true - though still psychotic - love.
