Hmmm kinda difficult since Ryu Ian is def a character going off the curve with how usually tops are (he's not a tsundere in the traditional way as he is very upfront with his feelings) but there are a few stories with similar vibes regarding tops, check:
- Dangerous Convenience Store
- Kiss me If You Can (omegaverse, entering the yearning era now lol)
- Dawn of the Dragon (specially first part of the story)
-The Sacred Serpent's Seduction (first part mostly)
- Nerd Project (Andrew is super grumpy at the beginning and a total yearner bf)
- My Master ( omegaverse)
- Admiration and Longing
- Absolutely Ruined Love
- Ubawareru Koto Marugoto Zenbu by Abe Akane
- Subarashii Kiseki ni Yasashii Kimi to
- Suezen Kurau wa Otoko no Tachi (actually this artist has quite a few works around emotionally clingy yet aloof tops )
If I remember any other I'll add them!
Man cranky yearning tops are a breed of their own they gotta be like the rare avis of the bl world I luv em sm it's a total sight to find them in the wild lmfao
