My goodness, now that they dont have the prison around them they have their minds all free with enough room to think abt their relationship and they both dunno wtf to do about themselves and what they want from each other lmfao like they srsly dunno how to handle their emotions and attraction beyond their sexual chemistry this is so weird and funny lol
Man cranky yearning tops are a breed of their own they gotta be like the rare avis of the bl world I luv em sm it's a total sight to find them in the wild lmfao
Hmmm kinda difficult since Ryu Ian is def a character going off the curve with how usually tops are (he's not a tsundere in the traditional way as he is very upfront with his feelings) but there are a few stories with similar vibes regarding tops, check:
- Dangerous Convenience Store
- Kiss me If You Can (omegaverse, entering the yearning era now lol)
- Dawn of the Dragon (specially first part of the story)
-The Sacred Serpent's Seduction (first part mostly)
- Nerd Project (Andrew is super grumpy at the beginning and a total yearner bf)
- My Master ( omegaverse)
- Admiration and Longing
- Absolutely Ruined Love
- Ubawareru Koto Marugoto Zenbu by Abe Akane
- Subarashii Kiseki ni Yasashii Kimi to
- Suezen Kurau wa Otoko no Tachi (actually this artist has quite a few works around emotionally clingy yet aloof tops )
If I remember any other I'll add them!









Omggggg they will have the fuck of their lives rn and author nim left us with such a cliffhanger ahhhhh
Btw I'm so so in love with their new dynamic it felt so organic I'm obsessed with their new arc abt realizing their feelings out of prison this is great charac development y'all pure cinema ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
