I like this but there is one thing that bothers me, the safe word. I didn’t like that Haru wanted to apologize for using the safe word, he did nothing wrong. He didn’t use it the next time either bc he was afraid of making Shirai hurt even though he was uncomfortable. What was the point of a safe word then? That just urks me a bit. I know that Shirai is pretty green flag and that he didn’t intend for Haruki to feel that way but just the way author depicts that situation didn’t go so well.
Exactly made me raise my brow at that. Inherently depicting it as a negative thing that shouldn't be done because it hurts "the doms feelings" and they should put it over their safety
