I'm so confused. Why not just tell him you like him? Why turn it into a threat or a transaction? Given that Wolves Behind Bars also had a very rough start to the point that I even stopped reading it for a long time, cuz I thought "how the hell is this going to turn it a love story?", but then it turned out to be really lovely, one of the sweetest BL I've read. So I will trust in the author and continue.
