I'd like to know too, I think I have read this story but I can't recall the title... I remember the art style too but can't remember the author
I think I found it, I'm not sure though, bc I didn't read it, but check this out

*facepalm* That is absolutely it. It's even on my lists. It's just got the write-up from Exclusive Love Contract instead of its own. Thank you very much!
That is very much it, thank you! *looks sheepish* I've actually tagged it and everything so I *could* find it again, but its got the wrong summary. It has the one for Exclusive Love Contract instead. I think I'll have to update my tags to show "wrong summary".
That's true. I wasn't sure because of it, but I think Baka-Updates has a proper summary.
You're very diligent about your tags, I like that (⌒▽⌒)
I feel silly when I waste people's time like this, plus it annoys me when I can't find the manga I want when I want it. The only thing that I don't like is how they sort tags. It means it's hard to find some of my lesser-used ones. On the whole, though, I like being able to tag things, save them for later, or sort them into sections easily.
I wish they would allow us to search by two or more tags combined, it'd be much easier for me.
Heh, I like using tags too, makes my life much more organized xD And it's somehow reassuring.
Oh, I don't think it's a waste of time at all. I love searching for manga (it's like a game for me) and thanks to these requests I can reread some long forgotten stories or find new ones, it's the best xD
That would be *so* much easier. A bunch of other sites (not manga ones, fanfiction and stuff) allow that. And when you pick one tag, the new list has tags used with the other tag so you don't get zero answers. I like those systems.
Reassuring? How so?
My favourite bit about the tags is that if there's one story I like in a collection, but the others don't do it for me, I can write myself little things like "only chapter 4", and then I don't have to search through stuff I know I don't like to find the one chapter I do.
That's good! I do enjoy that as well, actually. I've been introduced to quite a few interesting stories through the questions. I'm not usually a lot of help *finding* them, but I always get childishly excited when I am. Ah well, I suppose that just means I have plenty more to discover!
Yes! That's what I'm talking about! I mean that system sounds good (also something like Baka-Updates provides is ok, but I'd prefer using my own tags).
It's reassuring, when your life is all mess, but there's this one thing you can control, lol. It's like what what people say about e.g. eating disorders or OCD. Heh, I'm not sure if you understand what I mean. Maybe only nuts like me would grasp the idea xD
Oh, I become excited too, when I can find a manga. It's so much fun!
Our fujoshi work will never be done, how can I rest in peace knowing there's still so much yaoi I haven't read?!
╮(￣▽￣)╭
I'm not really familiar with baka-update's way of doing things, but I know I like how on AO3 I can make my own tags. Sometimes I remember stories just because of how the tags were phrased and can search that. Granted, they do author tags only, I think. Still, freeform tags are the way to go. My only problem is that occasionally I'll just grab a tag that says what I want, so mine are a bit of a mix when it comes to capitalization. Which can be a pain, because them there are two categories for the same thing. Still, that's just me not taking the time to pick a system and fix the old tags, so I have no one to blame but myself.
Ah, I see. Yeah, I usually bake. "Everything else is going to hell this week, but I have apple crisp!" You know? Controllable, productive, edible, and a treat. Sometimes I just need all of those things.
True, true! Lol, you would bring up sleeping, wouldn't you? I work nights and am supposed to be asleep right now. Instead, I am reading manga. Because priorities ;)
This was a spin off in a larger story, which I think has two or three chapters.
In the main story, the uke is a highschool student who is in love with his best friend. He ends up sleeping with the school doctor(the seme) in an attempt to make him not love his friend so much. Eventually he properly falls in love with the seme. Also, the friend finds out that his friend is gay and supports him, though he maybe didn't at first?
The second story, the one I'm thinking of, centers around the swim team at the same school. One of the members is in love with the captain, and every time he sees him he gets hard. Obviously, this is a problem in a speedo. One day he latches on to the friend from the previous story and rather desperately asks him about his gay friend. The friend angrily replies that he won't listen to anyone badmouthing his friend, but the uke admits he's also gay, and in love with someone else. The friend directs him to the doctor for advice. They talk, but in the end the uke decides to quit the swim team. He goes for one last swim when the pool is empty, but is caught by the seme. He doesn't want to answer questions about why he's quitting, so he dunks his head in the pool to avoid them, short-sightedly drowning himself. The seme pulls him out, something that had happened previously to start the crush, and admits that he also likes the uke. They have sex, and the uke decides to be the manager so he can still help the swim team, but isn't showing off his constant erection.
There's a little scene at the end where the uke from the first part asks his lover why he's so certain the classmates' love will go well, and the lover shows the uke an anonymous e-mail he received asking for advice that is the mirror image of the story the uke told.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. My keywords aren't specific enough to help at all, unfortunately.
Thanks!
