So much for a ten-year love run for someone like Aki. He could have redeemed himself if only had apologized to Ryuji for all that 10 years of using him as Keigo's replacement. Ironically, for these kinds of stories where the seme's getting the short end of the stick, disappointing it can be but it's these type of stories that people tend to remember and wish for a Ryuji seme all for yourself.
