Second couple doesn't work for me at all. Blondie seems like an ass and controlling type. Platinum looks like a masochist and a pushover but decent enough. In another context they could be 'nice' as the classic toxic couple but the main couple is by far more interesting and fresh. The main coulple, even tho they follow the 'falling for the straight guy' trope which is nothing new, the execution is. Top has an active sex life even if he has a crush but started changing his way when he realized that his feelings were more serious. He doesn't push his feelings or takes advantage of his friendship with the charming guy. Bottom is just a regular guy, a nice guy but strong and bold enough to come out and make such offer. I do like those flashbacks and time skips but I'm confused if he rejected the offer to help him or those were his thoughts and it didn't happened. But at the same time, this story has a very heavy and gloomy side so I wouldn't be surprised if someone betrays another or it ends up that that nice guy wasn't as nice and naive as he looked like. The second couple is so toxic cliché where one can't leave the relationship because of whatever reason ('love'?) and the other is abusive and finds entertaining the other person reactions.
