It's very rare for BL stories to introduce a couple that will not end up together in the end, so this most likely suggests that Redhead and Uncle will reconcile and start dating for real. But I think it'd be super interesting and even realistic for the author to tackle a different narrative, one where the two do not end up together, but rather learn from this experience before moving on to date people whom they are more compatible with. Given that this is a BL story, the chances of this happening are very slim, but I'd love to see Redhead and Uncle sit down and talk this out properly like grownups, and realise that dating each other just isn't realistic before moving on while still being friends. It'd be bittersweet, but it would definitely make their arc more palatable and reasonable. Also the fact that these two are a side couple and not the main couple would allow this setup to work perfectly without ruining the story. On the other hand, seeing them reconcile would make this story fall into one of the many BL traps of "love surpasses everything" because, if we're being serious here, these two have no reason to date each other, and Uncle has a point. They're on completely different chapters of their respective lives, and so far we haven't seen them be compatible in any other way than "Redhead isn't used to being told off" and "Uncle is bored of being alone." Making them break up is the only way I can see these two fulfilling their character arcs properly. Again, I doubt that this is how their relationship will unfold, but I would love to see this author change things up a bit and step outside of the box with these two.
Honestly them not ending up together but growing from it is my dream. Not only because i don't think they're compatible personality wise, but also because it's such a rarely seen storyline in bl.
