A sub returns to his small town and falls into a relationship with an old friend from high-school, who is a dom. He insists that praise and care (and kissing!) are his hard limits but his worried dom finally realises that was not the case.
I would say interesting take on the dom/sub verse, but I've already read it in fanfiction. It's still good, though, and would like to see how the relationship develops.
Edit: I think I understand Sumio's trauma a lot better now. His parents really neglected his needs, huh. And so he learnt to supress any need for kindness and consideration, whether it be as a sub or otherwise. I wonder if that's why he presented so late. I think Itsumo is great for him, but that's neither here nor there. Itsumo would be a great partner for anyone who should be so lucky. I really appreciate that this story touches on the fact that doms have needs too. And finally, while I really do want to to dislike the meddling side couple, I do think their criticism of Sumio for going into the brothel is very valid. Still, overall, a really solid read. I adore how openly, sickeningly affectionate they are now.
