7 - The rookie actor Haruki has his first role costarring with the popular actor he's looked up to since he was a kid, Yuito Shinonome. Excited to greet him, Haruki heads to Yuito's dressing room only to find him blue in the face and collapsed on the ground!! As Haruki looks after Yuito, he asks what happened – and Yuito tells him he can't handle sexually-charged behavior! "Haruki, you're my fan, right? Could you pretend to be my lover?"The moment Haruki agreed to the direct request of his favorite actor, for some reason a kiss falls upon him, sweet and swooning...!? They continue their friends with benefits relationship until confessing in the last chapter after a drinking party for when the film segment is about to end. The seme regularly takes advantage of the uke, fucking in public and at home in the name of "curing his allergies" & "adjusting to physical contact". The uke is all for the arrangement because he like and idolizes the seme until he feels like the seme doesn't like & wont like him because hes a man (despite hinting/telling him he's gay) and leaves the drinking party early only to get sick. the seme thinks hes avoiding him because he didn't show up to watch the filming and then they confess n' fuck.

31 - so stressful to read because they’re both fucking dumb.

7 - Uke has idolized a popular theater trope actor from 10 years old because he inspired him to keep living when he was a sickly weakling who was always in pain & regularly needed surgery for something. He grows up to become an actor and lands a role as the lead co-star to his idol. Unfortunately he can act the part perfectly except for the kissing scene so to combat that the seme decides to help him get into the role by pretending to be lovers in real life. Things go okay until the uke finds out that this is something the seme does regularly and all his previous "victims" end up falling for him for real only for their affections to be blatantly rejected. Seeing him with a potential lover on top of this makes him shy away from the situation entirely even though the seme actually likes him [not that anyone could tell >:C since this is a repeat for you] and thought that things would be different this time because of how the uke essentially sees him for him. He gets a little taste of his own medicine when the uke bails on him out of fear. This gets fixed because the uke got a grip and said fuck that and then confessed.

15 - the top is complete and total garbage.

Childhood friends now actor (seme) and manager (uke) go back to japan for a vacation. The seme intends to make right on his feelings for his manager and longtime best friend while the other treats this as usual, scheduling appointments and meetings believing that his friend couldn't ever feel the same for him despite being taken to bed on several occasions so he vehemently resists the idea that it could be true. Things come to a head when their mentor tells the uke that the seme planned on quitting action and he took that personally and freaked out on him. Once its explained that he wants to retire with & spend more time with him all is well, he isn't quitting and they return to America to finish his career, get married, etc.
