Omfg the first story annoyed me SO much. The glasses guy is sooooo dumb omggggg. Like the seme obviously loves him and wants to have sexy time with him and didn’t even show any signs of hating his body AND THEN GLASSES DUDE HITS HIM with a pillow ffs.
Love doesn't equal sex. If you think pressuring your lover for sex as a sign for love is okay, then you're clearly wrong. Try to think with your brain and moral, not only your libido. I actually love the first story because the author acknowledge the importance of consent and readiness when having sex, which is very lacking in BL mangas. Most of BL mangas are borderline rape-y and promote pressuring for sex, so this one is actually a change for the better.

I agree both that:
- it's a ridiculous waste of time to have gone 3 years without having a serious conversation about sexual intimacy between the two of them to decide if this is a deal-breaker for either of them or not (which would've gotten to the bottom of the uke's insecurity about it much faster), and
- love != sex, and just because you love someone doesn't mean you want to be intimate with them in that way. You are allowed to have bodily autonomy even if you also want to be in a relationship with someone. This is why in these modern times the laws have been changed such that it is possible to get convicted of the rape of someone you're married to (*in most countries).
DAMN IVE MISSED THIS MANGA... THEY ARE JUST TOO PRECIOUS
