This story left me feeling all kinds of crazy. Not because the story was bad, or the characters were bad, but because it was relatable in the harshest way. Kids raised in environments that lead them stray, that later on lead them to having questionable decision making and coping skills.
Some people dont like the fact the uke went to seek other men. I don't either, trust me. However, that was his only thought on how to make himself feel something other then hurt. Was it a bad decision? Oh, yeah. But honestly, how many of us when we're emotionally hurt make sound decisions on anything? Being emotional and making important decisions very rarely go together.
Sometimes I feel like some of us readers are so caught up in the fantasy insta-love and romance that yaoi gives us that the moment an author writes something a little touchy but relatable to situations in real life we reject it.
If the guy I liked and was sleeping with all of sudden told me he had a girlfriend, would I jump to go find another body to make me forget and feel better? More then likely not. I'm just not wired that way, I would probably find another healthy or unhealthy way to cope.
However alot of that is based on me as an individual. More then judging the uke for making the bad the decision, I just felt hurt that he felt he needed to go there. Some decisions you learn to regret more then others, and if this was a real life situation it could have had so many bad endings.
More then anything, I'm happy they're together. I hope they communicate more. Like any yaoi fangirl, I just want them happy~
