Yesssss. Yes to all of this. I was reading that chapter and privately hoping the seme would come in all worried to the uke looking like '8)?' while bending the Directors fingers back. Or to him yelling at him or freaking or something! Cute and fluffy can only go so far before I squint at them and wonder why they just let stuff happen to them with almost no reactions humans would have (especially when we typically have a seme who winds up seeming a more complex a character when put next to said uke). It just it feel like I'm reading unsalted unbuttered popcorn. Fluffy, but not much taste or substance.
I was hoping for that the uke would have just snapped and took a fork, swinging at it to Director. Seriously. Once in awhile those cute fluffy ukes should have other side of them, there should be a limit when stupid helpless cute act is too much. I want a surprise! And a real moment. Real emotion. ... But no. I'm just asking too much.
