I know the trope is morally messed up, given that seme was dating the underage uke, but I will have to disregard that for a second to appreciate how on-the-spot their trope is.
Uke is 16 on the initial chapters. He often throws a tantrum and his emotions easily gets to him. Not to say all 16 years olds were like this, but it allows immersion for the reader. Then there's the adult seme and with the way he was dealing with the young uke's emotions. He never get mad. He was mature with how he dealt with uke. Seme knew he's the adult in the relationship, that's why Seme is the one always apologizing and coaxing Uke because he understood the huge age gap and he's dating a young teen. He never gets mad.
Now Im not condoning with Seme's decision of dating an underage, but I still wanna say that mangaka did really great with creating contrast there. Whenever Uke gets mad and all, I never find him annoying as a result. He was just growing and discovering things.
