Upon further consideration I really do give this story a 3/5 and it’s purely based on my own criteria cuz it’s a good story, it is but I’m just not vibing with some elements to it.
I know, I know this is gonna be unpopular. SO WARNING UNPOPULAR TALKING POINT.
I just really think that fight in the side stories PMO too much. It’s like we already went through the bottoms past basically the beginning of the story (prior sleeping around a lot) and when the ex came back, but it was SO COMPELLING so I couldn’t even be mad about the ex since it showed the bottom’s growth.
But then that fight they have in the side stories just IRKED the fuck outta me. It wasn’t even about the Top’s jealous in that case, it was about how the bottom reacted to it and how it’s handled. I feel like it was an easy apology that should’ve been done just better becuz it’s the Top’s FIRST relationship and having ur partner 1. Get jealous over something trivial (sitting by others and laughing while he’s letting hands of a prior hook up on him) and 2. Shout at u about how r u not more jealous he’s talking to a guy he used to fuck - IS JUST TOO WILD
And THE FACT THE TOP APOLOGIZED FIRST. like yeah ok the bottom then acknowledges he was in the wrong, but the entire scene just fucking…. Ughhhh.
I just feel like if there was any more angst in this story (and there’s not but does it show this topic either way)
you’d see a lot of disparities between their relationship dynamic due to the experience.
HOWEVER, I DO THINK THE TOP DOES A GREAT JOB AT BEING A GREAT PARTNER. Throughout the entire story he’s understanding, compassionate, and a caring lover.
But like the experience thing is still something you have to be capable of navigating with ur partner, and it was OK for the main story but the fight just seemed so childish from the bottoms part (since again, tops first relationship and HE VOICES HIS DISCOMFORT AND INSECURITY OVER HIS PAST RELATIONSHIPS) and it made the story in my eyes take a hit.
Yes it ends cutely, yes they go through the motions but it’s just not done well enough for me to be like - “ok yeah this is good” - it just lead to very hot sex ;;; which yum, but also damn, I guess we fix it with a bandaid huh.
