Fish King's Favorite

The uke is acting like he doesn’t like seme because he lived his whole life trying to be dependent and now that his heart actually wants something he’s worried that he won’t be enough because he still needs to study all the time and take care of things.

Because uke truly loves seme: if they were to date, uke is worried he would either give in too much (sacrificing his well-being) or hurt seme by not giving him enough attention.

And because seme truly loves uke: he just wants to be there for him no matter what so that uke finally has some reliable support in his life.

In conclusion, they both love eachother and want the best for eachother but one of them thinks the “best” is for them to be apart while the other thinks the “best” is them being there for eachother
