Ooohh year.. that redemption thingy. I remember 2 mangs regarding that. The manga of ogetsu tanaka(?) And that other omegaverse.
I’m not good with names, but the abusive guy has red hair, and he smokes so much. But his new partner is really big, and kinda goofy. He’s the seme in the relationship where red haired guy used to be the seme. But then became a powerbottom of sorts.
Uhmmmm ah! There’s a scene where the seme is like “why do you never smile like that?” (There’s a picture on the wall where he’s smiling really big) and the uke is all “none of your business”. But then they both buy a camera together and end up making a porno (lol) and goofing around together.
There’s also a scene where the seme ends up meeting the uke ex, the one that was abused, and the seme is shocked, but he’s like “that’s in your past”.
Sorry f none of this helps. This isn’t an omegaverse either.
Found it! I recommend (but maybe read the first one about his ex first? Although I find that one a lil boring )

When we were all like “how are THEY KIDS!” And then we see them as adults and like holy shite they were kids, they’re like whole new people here
Also- he raped his friend, don’t go asking for a hug buddy, if ya therapist said to go to the victim for healing or whatever then okay...but to do it selfishly....you ain’t changed much. I saw that tightened fist, you still have a short temper. All was fine when yo thought he was single, but when you saw our seme boy treated him right, you got all those nasty emotions again. Go away..shoo...go have a redemption arc with mr driver or something. He was cute.
(There’s another manga out there where the abusive guy gets his own story, and I dunno how but he got redeemed, maybe Cus the guy he got with took no shit what so ever and called him out on things. But it also showed how two people together are toxic if they’re a mix match, where as sometimes the right person makes it a perfect match...granted though, the guy in that didn’t rape his boyfriend, but he was abusive to his ex. And he full on repented though, like he didn’t have it easy....this guy here...so far he’s having it easy. Nono ).
