I agree with you about their relationship, for example I DEFINITELY would have actively tried to move on in the year the seme was gone, if I were Akira. But that's part of why I like it - I could say the same as your last sentence about most of my friends' significant others (and definitely some of my past SOs)! It makes it more realistic for me, that feeling from the outside looking in of "I can't really understand why you like them so much, they have major, major flaws!!!"

I'm with you. That whole year thing seriously DID NOT sit well with me. I'd have moved on, myself. There was NO reason it should have taken a YEAR to tell his parents no. Bullshit. And why didn't he tell Akira that before he just up and left?
Ugh. Now i'm getting mad and want to cry. Maybe it's time for bed. (It is almost 2am...)
Uuuggghhh. This one really frustrated me because it isn’t horrible by any means, far from it actually, but reading it was too frustrating. If it was bad, I would’ve just dropped it but noooooo, I couldn’t help but finish it.
When the seme rejected the uke’s kiss..... oh hell no! I swear I screamed a little. And then I found out it took the seme one whole year to settle things with the marriage interview. If I were the uke, I legit would have dumped his ass if he wasn’t back after a month at the most. Also, how he was able to accept the seme not touching him and avoiding intimacy for that long. It’s a miracle that his self esteem didn’t just evaporate into nothing.
It’s clear the seme loves the uke, but he’s definitely not a good lover that’s for sure.
