top is haunted by his callous rejection of a boy who confessed to him when he was younger. when they meet again he tries to put an end to the nightmares (bc the nightmares are often followed by a terrible day)
another top haunted by the confession of another boy except this one is his (perceived) rival who asks to sleep with him to lay his feelings to rest. it’s been seven years but he can’t forget it BECAUSE WHO CONFESSES, ASKS TO BE FUCKED, AND THEN GHOSTS YOU
another seme who pines. 13 year later reunion where his cute and adorable first love grows up to be a hunk! now they gotta work together for a month but he can’t stop thinking about his first love’s now muscly body
mutual first love gone toxic. one side has a crippling self esteem issue & believes his love will never be required bc who would ever desire him. when he ghosts his first love, the other party is left shattered — reminded of all the times when he was promised “love” only to end miserable. in order to pick up the pieces and glue himself together to a semi human form, he indulges in carnal pleasures to forget. and so begins a reunion of swirling desires that only lingered and
pined for each other since their school days but one party is a normal civilian while the other is the heir to a yakuza group with a body that can get impregnated and he has a complex about it so he keeps the other one at arm’s length
manager is actually a classmate of the actor and has been in love with him since then. what he doesn’t realize is how mutual it is as he continues to soothe and go along with the actor’s swinging moods
haunted by your first love as in the ghosting on the 100th day of dating leaves you celibate for the past 7 years and then all of a sudden he appears again so different from the one you loved but underneath all that change is the same man. and he keeps making passes at you but you’ve been too burned to hold on
omegaverse. seme beta x uke alpha. the beta often gets mistaken for an omega and despises how alphas look at him as if he is one. the alpha falls for the beta for who he is but he’s been raised to be a proper alpha so he shoves his feelings deep deep down and he tries to move on. and then 9 years later…
tropes include: reunion after nine years, accidental (drunken) first night, and dating with an end (one month only). has notes similar to backlight in that they were best friends that crashed at each other’s place and had elaborate plans for the future that crashes and burns. and yet the reunion leads one to believe perhaps they never were significant to the other party to begin with.
an outlier to this list. there’s no reunion it’s just childhood friends who drift apart because of their personal struggles with subgender identity (it’s an omegaverse). but that sort of yearning and pining and almost gut wrenching then vs now is present
