muse ✨'s manga / #open relationship(2)

Friends from high school who had hooked up but never properly dated reunite two years after one stops speaking to the other because he'd fallen in love; after a separation, things work out. (The relationship is open at one point.) MC is weepy but sweet and gets jerked around too much, but he finally stands up for himself in the hospital scene, which is the crux of the story. His love interest is selfish and blind to the emotions of people around him as well as his own, but...I think they do genuinely love each other.

A one-time quickie in a bathroom stall turns into a weekly meetup between two men who grow from sex friends to lovers. They have the first couple and the final chapter. Five stars for their story. The second fic is about two high school students. One is dealing with internalized homophobia and spends two chapters pissed off, then comes around. I didn't feel much for them. This alone I'd give maybe a three.
