Its not that easy to say "i like you" because he (the uke) didnt know that he (the seme) like him (the uke ) or no so if he confess and the seme actually dont like the uke then their relation ship will be broken or awkward .
And since we were the one reading it and mnow what is the seme feeling that is easy for us to say :i like you" u to him since we know they both love each other , but from their viewpoint they dont know that they like each other .
Ok im talking to much but hope u understand that its not that easy to say "i love you" or "i like you" .
Ya but since the uke and semehas been atached to each other since young the ukeprob gonna be sad if they separate , will u rather got separate with the person u love this whole time ? , and since the uke dont know the seme like him it will be more hard for him to tell his feeling , and in our point view if we were the uke we can just tell him our (the uke) feeling since we know that the seme also like theuke , just imagine it it happen irl , it is not as easy as u say . One thing gone wrong everything is all ruin if it was irl .
stop being a drama queen, you just need to say that "I like you". Oh bOy
