Yashiro needs to test out his feelings so he might be sleeping with other guys and stay away from Doumeki as long as he can to keep himself from falling too hard. Damaged people are complicated and being in-denial is their best talent. But of course, he'll fail and Doumeki will win. There's no going back for Yashiro.

agreed and i'm totally not looking forward to that chapter of the story, it's these kind of stories i wish i didn't pick up until it was over - for example dark heaven, thankfully i got to read it after things had already settled, i can't imagine reading that week by week for the new chapters angst kills me soul
PS it really frustrates me what yashiro said about imprinting (though i doubt he sincerely believes this he's just using it as an excuse to run away)- there are a ton of yaoi i have read where i didn't end up loving it because you don't really see the couple as one that will last, they just came together through a poorly told story. for Saezuru, Doumeki's love for Yashiro is told so well it's insulting to compare the depth of his feelings with imprinting
