holy god this story is one of the gods among men of BL. Like goddamn, this shit slaps so hard after I read it I feel like I've been transported to a different multiverse. So many "yaoi" stories I read grind the uke stereotype so hard ground it becomes no different than a heterosexual story because they reduce them to just being a shadow of a female character. Here, Wataru is such a strong lead it doesn't even matter who is the "uKE" or the "SeMe" because you're in it for their chemistry. Also, it is obvious that both of them are 100% boy with their own faults and strengths, not the diluted character tropes of "manly rich seme" and "soft breakable uke". I appreciate this so much because of it, this feels like a real gay couple and not a story bordering on fetishization. God bless.
