hey!!! Don't hate on the uke...
No one is perfect, and the story hasn't completely unfolded yet. It seems like the uke has had some past insecurity and trauma that prevents him from getting into any relationship.
I kind of understandand. Regardless of sexual orientation, hobbies, or kinks, I always have this insecurity of being loved by someone. What if they see my true self? What if they get tired of me? What if I hurt him with how slowly I open up emotionally?
Seeing how the seme has originally been affected by his own insecurity, it must've been a hit becuase he doesn't want to hurt someone who has just gotten back onto their feet from a hardship.
ASHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
