A liiiittle bit of a rushed love at first sight. I mean, we only see the seme come up to uke and confess, nothing before, or explained after. I guess it makes sense for uke to respond and reciprocate, since it feels freeing to fight against the norms that have been ruling over his life, especially towards someone who apparently holds such strong feelings towards him. However, it's still fully just lust, and begs the question of whether it's truly possible for the desire to be this intense, solely because you saw someone pretty at a party, or solely because someone at a party said they just fell in love with you.
Maybe the intensity kind of works because we see that neither of them is a perfect character, probably more on the negative side of the spectrum, I would say. The insecurity is to be expected, but the strangling and shady business with human trafficking... Certainly gives them a darker side, without which the story would feel wishy-washy. However with it included, it gives me the biggest ick, and I'm still unsure if that was really the only way to go about giving the characters some depth.
