To be honest I hated this.
The line "It doesn't matter, you're important to me right now"
WHO THE FUCK WOULDN'T BE HURT LIKE THAT? And you just say that he was just comforting a friend...?
This was just...aaaagghhhh!! And the nerve of him to not offer an explanation to his lover... ヽ(`Д´)ノ
Whatever. Hate this.
Tho the seme was clueless but he didn’t do anything wrong.
And he is comforting a bestfriend who life was being threatened and the gf was there. If you compare having your bf over (which you could do anytime) or help you best friend and gf get away from an abusive ex who is a threat to there life which one should be more important in that moment. It’s not like he chose his friend over his lover but the situation calls for that. What is he supposed to abandon his friend who life is in danger because he wants to invite his lover over. And he probably thinking of the lover safety even the gf hides just in case someone enters the house the seme is probably trying to tell the uke not to come over because there could be potential danger. The uke misunderstood his lover from the beginning believing in his own paranoia that the seme still loves his friend and he coward into his shell, not once did he tried to trust his lover. He even went as far as ghosting his lover over a misunderstanding. If he was worried why didn’t he confront him, or asked, or complained.
The Seme never lied, cheat or trick the uke. He fell for the uke in the beginning and acted like a normal bf we only saw the uke side but if you think from the seme POV he didn’t do much wrong except for being clueless. He didn’t tell the uke was because that was his friend’s private problem he can’t just go around telling other people’s stories, and the uke and the friend wasn’t even acquaintances so how would the seme know that the uke was jealous over his friend. The topic never came up. If the uke mentioned his worries maybe the seme could get a clue and would have involved the uke or fix the misunderstandings earlier on
The seme said his relationship with his friend was not serious, and broke up awhile ago he probably didn’t even think about it was something to be jelous over so the thought never crosses his mind
Comforting a friend is fine, and the uke actually didn't have a problem with that - he was worried for the ex when he found out the guy had been hurt. It's the fact that the seme rejected his lover for his ex. That's not "awkward wording" - yes, I read your post. Awkward wording is my saying "I know" to my friend when she's saying she doesn't know why her ex broke up with her (I meant that I didn't get it either)... tellinng your lover to "get out" and not contact you for a while is a form of rejection. He didn't have to tell the uke the details but he could have said that his ex and the gf were in a rough situation and needed his help. That's all. He even told the uke it was none of his business when he asked if something was wrong, that kind of wording isn't awkward, it's hiding something. No, he doesn't have to tell his lover everything but he also didn't have to say it like that.
Also, the uke confess first. The first night they spent together, the seme was concerned that he forced himself on the uke, the uke then said "I like you so it was consensual" - that's when the seme asked him out.
Is the seme awkward? Absolutely. Did the seme put his friend before his love? Yes. Did the seme make the uke feel insecure about himself? 100%. Did both have communication issues? Yes. Did the seme lie or cheat? No, but his actions were suspicious.
And the seme wasn't the only one trying in the relationship. The uke literally changed jobs just to be able to spend time together. No, he didn't give the seme a spare key nor did he tell him his address, but he *never* expected the seme to give him a key or ring.
With all of that, I think the second story is worse - that wasn't miscommunication, that was manipulation and just ugh. Please don't take this as me hating on your opinion, I just wanted to explain the other side.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET THEM END UP TOGETHER!!
