The comment about them crying then the seggs scene came up
For a story as dramatic and mature as this, having this many sex scenes is a bit.. well, not bad, but just kill the mood a bit? And their miscommunications and immaturity are really, really, really frustrating at times. Like fucking frustrating man. This could've been solved with a good therapist for each of them and for the both of them together.
Now that the complaints are out of the way. I'm just so glad to see them mature up and become a much more stable version of themselves. They've come a long way and they've grown so much. And I think the pacing of the story is nice. I like how after they've resolved their issues, it got cut to the most satisfying part. It might seem like time skip too much but the mood was just right. And they added those time skips as a side story later as well.
Our uke seems like a fragile, pushover, meek guy, but he's stronger than he looks. He's decisive and independent. We didn't get to see this side of him much at the start because he was throwing away his pride and everything just to be with seme, which at that time didn't appreciate our uke much. However, we learnt later on how he won many gold medals as a figure skater. He's determined and hardworking. Sometimes he has many unnecessary worries and he's insecure about family stuff.
Our seme.. wow.. at the start he was the definition of anxiety and on-edge itself. I think the story portrayed well of someone with PTSD and especially when the trigger is as common as a secondary gender. He wasn't a bad guy and he had issues himself. Now that I think about it, they were both broken and was trying to find some solace among the scars just to have been cut by those very scars themselves. They continuously tried to resolve the issues again and again. The issues kept surfacing up again and again. In the end, seme became so calm and at peace with himself.
Oh, and the pressure they had came from their profession as well. Like had they worked in less competitive and less exposed fields, they might not have some issues. However, it's also refreshing to see as well. When uke ended their relationship because seme quit his swimming career for him, I didn't quite get it. What if it was really hard for seme? What if swimming put too much pressure on him? Those were some of my questions. However, looking back, maybe uke being in the same field, having to experience the retirement from his sports make him know better than me. Maybe he knows what regrets they have to carry for the rest of their lives.
