Kono Koi wa Kataranai
This story was really sweet, it was nice to see a seme that didn’t push himself forcefully onto the straight uke. The seme understood and gave the uke as much space as he needed until he was ready. The uke literally told the seme when he wanted to continue or when he wanted to stop. I loved seeing an understanding partner that doesn’t push his ideals on someone who considers themselves straight. Plot: The seme is in love with the uke since the first time he met him. Due to his love the seme is always flirting with the uke and confessing his love to him in public at work. However, the seme respects the uke’s boundaries because he when others are not around him he acts serious towards the uke and doesn’t flirt. This dramatic change in interaction has the uke confused about whether the semes feelings are genuine. When they were both assigned to go to a business trip together the uke straightforwardly asks the seme why does his behavior change so drastically and wanted to confirm whether or not the seme was true about his feelings for him. The communication clears the misunderstanding, but the straight uke is not sure whether or not he wants to date the seme so that seme proposes they try to date. The uke agrees but later confesses to the seme he doesn’t think they can date, but at the same time the uke jumps on his overwhelming desire to kiss the seme. The seme is confused and asks the uke what his true feelings are and the uke states he doesn’t know either, but the seme allows the uke to continue the relationship until he decides he no longer wants to. The uke realize after a few months that his feelings were not about just being comfortable but they were always about love for the seme. Really cute dynamic and damn I loved how the uke tries to understand his feelings from a non-toxic point of view.
