Man even imagining myself in uke’s position fills me up with anxiety.. being in a relationship with someone for years, constantly telling them you love them but never once hearing it back? And then seme saying things like he never expected to date or things like that feels like he is settling for uke.. you need to give some kind of reassurance to the one you are in relationship with!
The story was great, and I know it was a realistic ending and they are happy but still the ending is sad.
