I understand that it's a heavy topic for people, but I don't think that's what is going on in this story. Let's not forget they are two young boys. The term "domestic abuse" probably hasn't even occurred to them. They (Seme, at least) are confused, struggling to fight or justify these urges, and don't know anything about acceptable kink or S&M. Without knowing sadism and masochism are a widely accepted thing, it leaves them feeling guilty about something that only looks like bullying to the naïve mind. This story rips my heart open every time I revisit to read the updates, but it's two young boys who don't know why they feel this way and (HOPEFULLY) will lead to a more enlightened and self accepting place for both of them. It's a story of self discovery... Right? I'm still just praying it doesn't destroy me by the end. ╥﹏╥
I feel like this story takes so much out of me whenever I read the new chapters, but I love it. The story was confusing at first but now I feel sorry for both of them and a bit scared where it will go next. *whew* Still can't wait for the next update! Torture me some more, sexy Seme!
