What miscommunication? It was all laid bare out there at the very beginning, what the fuck were we circling this entire time? Like, the author kept staring that they were poorly communicating but they didn't? And then nothing changed. I'm confused.
Seme says he likes the uke romantically Uke says he'll na, I don't mix in feelings with plays Seme backs off, but does make it clear throughout that he has feelings Uke stays firm and explains his (very minor) trauma from his past Nothing changes Then things get messy as uke begins to waver Uke then stubbornly says "Na! No feelings!" Seme is still very much in his feels Then something about rules And walla, they're back to doing plays and everything is honky dory. Uke never expressed any actual feelings towards the seme. Never confessed or anything And then the end
But like, they actually communicated everything perfectly fine from the get go and their dynamic doesn't seem to have changed at all at the end. The writing is just a mess tbh. The uke never confessed but they're sort of dating but with rules (so.... A normal ass couple I guess?) but was the angst really resolved? Felt like we spent a lot of time talking in circles, skipped over any real issues, then said "rules!"and acted like that somehow fixed, solved, or explained anything and now somehow happily ever after.
(I actually have no issues with the BDSM because I think it's one of the much better portrayals of it. Not all bdsm is extreme. They have safe words which they use and adhere to. And the story is right, being in a bdsm partnership often times does not correlate at all with a romantic relationship and the two are often times kept strictly separate)
