wow I can't believe Im saying it but I do feel bad for both sides. They're very clearly in love and obsessed (though the seme is definitely more possessive) but the butler seems to have intense trauma and self worth issues so that he cannot accept himself as anything more or less than the seme's butler, and the seme just honest to god wants to marry him. The seme is definitely toxic and possessive but he does genuinely seem to want to be with the uke, and the uke *wants* to be with him but just feels he can't cross that line, no matter what the seme says is fine.
also the smut is very good
