the way you're SO wrong, did we read the same story?? All the uke did was overthink and overcomplicate things for himself. He barely communicated with the seme and just ran off with whatever he made up in his head. Plus he never let the seme explain and just cut him off.
Even he realizes that himself. So how didn't you??
If you want to talk about "imbalances" then that's for the second couple.
The uke is just a manipulative asshole and the seme is a pushover.

I prefer the first couple. The second one is too imbalanced. The only one doing the emotional labour and communication is the seme. The uke shows lots of demands and avoided telling seme the truth about how they actually met in bed
