To clarify, out of left field is referring to Shun confessing to Aki and the fact that Shun would be leaving so it makes sense at first for Aki to doubt his feelings. It’s shitty that he was shoving Aki away for cheating on him with imaginary women even after all the time they spent together. I get it though, being gay is still a taboo subject especially in Japan, unfortunately.
I really liked this it was really sweet but Aki kinda annoyed me with the insistence, not even in his head but he said it to Shun too, that he’ll fall in love with a girl. At first I understood like it did seem out of left field but that’s such a shitty move like Shun said that being in love with Aki made him gay too like they didn’t say bisexual but he basically said he was. If I ever dated a girl that would be constantly anxious I’m about to hop on any dudes dick when she’s not looking I’d be pissed, which Shun did get frustrated. It’s kinda the ex’s fault for exploiting Aki’s anxieties, it’s obvious Aki is a very anxious person in general especially since he’s not sure if people will hate him for being gay. Internalized homophobia be dammed but I’m glad he went and got his man this was a really nice and sweet story.
