Damian Jackson and Arman Khondker

The relationship between Damian Jackson and Arman Khondker was one of the series' most popular couples of all-time. They have broken up many times over the years, but had never resisted their love for each other. Their relationship began in season 3, and most recently ended in season 12. It was the first of three men that Damian deeply fell in love with.

Storyline
Their relationship first surfaced back in season 2, when they dated online. In season 3, they met for the first time and instantly had a strong connection between the two. However, a few weeks after they first met, Damian cheated on him with Joshua, threatening their relationship. In the end, Damian apologized to him and they shared their first kiss.

By the next year, things were going great until Damian's ex-boyfriend, Drew, came to town. He was attempting to steal Damian from Arman, and Arman had no choice but to push him down the waterfall, presuming his death. He wouldn't tell Damian about this until years later. That, of course, was the beginning of the end for them, as they weren't really connective with each other like they used to. To end it all, they broke up. In season 5, Damian and Arman began to really think about each other, and they got back together. When Damian's friend, Ivan, returned to town, he was taking marijuana and while Damian tried to snap some sense to him, he suddenly became addicted to it and slept with Ivan, upsetting Arman. Weeks later, Damian was arrested for holding Ivan hostage and overtaking marijuana. Arman, however, didn't even bail him out of jail and had him serve three months in jail. The next season, after Damian began to feel distant from Ivan, he wanted to earn Arman back. Arman was still mad at him, but in the end, they slept with each other and fell back in love again.

In season 7, their relationship was beginning to mark its end, as Joshua caught Arman kissing Ivan, and once he showed the film to Damian, he went over the boiling point and shot Arman point blank in the head, giving him a short-term coma. After waking up from the coma, Bianca had thrown a "Welcome Home" party for him. After the party was over, Damian told Arman that they could only be friends, nothing more. They almost had a moment, but Damian had already moved on from him. After Arman was killed in a car crash, Damian revealed to him at his grave that he had never stopped loving him. In season 8, when Arman was revealed alive, Damian was already re-dating Joshua, and Arman crashed one of their dates. After that, Damian asked for him back following the end of his relationship with Joshua. Arman was glad to have Damian back, but the relationship was short-lived, as Damian had cheated on him once again with Ivan.
