Man this story was absolutely beautiful. I was crying and it is rare for me to cry while reading even if the story is meant to be sad. But, the story hit so close because of the fact that this is real and it occurred to a real person. My heart fluttered and hurt at the same time especially when Akira gave his love to Masuo to only be semi-dumped and left for a whole year. My heart yearned for him because of the heartbreak he must have experienced. He is so understanding and patient. Just wow, how beautiful to know that there is a beautiful person out there who is willing to give his heart everyday and receive nothing but platonic love back. I understood Masuo, but still felt a bit upset with him the moments he would curve my baby Akira so hard and while they are in a full committed relationship. I am happy to know they got back together and that they worked through the dry love situation. I’m happy that Akira decides to give himself time (a full year) and not jump on any love interest, I respect him for being so open minded about his situation. I am gay, but I do not accept myself. Reading these types of yaoi’s remind me that maybe I will one day too have the courage to come out and show my true self to the world without being afraid of what my family will say. Thank you for sharing and thank you for this great read.
