I don't wanna tag this for assault because it does happen once between the main couple, but it's not the focus of the story and if this makes any sense, it's borderline non-consensual on both sides? Like the seme is so emotionally constipated he genuinely can't think of any other way to make the uke push him away — but because the uke is *that kind* he has a sense that something is wrong. I suppose it's dubcon tbh, which is the whole theme of this manga. Yeah, so it feels in line with the theme, not added just for gratuitous drama.
