...I. Wow. This question is hard because his relationship with Ven has actually been pretty important in shaping who he is at this point so without it, uh...
...man I don't even know. I really strongly suspect he's single in this AU. It's not like he crushes on a lot of people anyway, consciously or not (and he tends to repress even in canon), and it basically took Ven touching him a lot and then outright saying "I have a crush" to make him realize it was mutual. His other close CR doesn't really ping him that way much, honestly. Other than that it's really hard to say; there'd be some pretty deep changes, the most obvious being he'd still be pretty teenager-y about touching people instead of doing it a lot the way he does now. I think he'd be less...generally confident, more guarded and closed off, more suspicious sometimes. This is hard. ):
