Question

I'm not sure. I wonder if Usagi was thinking that Misaki thought to tell the truth to his brother. Usagi maybe believe that Takahiro will never accept that and Usagi certainly is afraid to lose Misaki because of that.

ah yes that might be it. Since Misaki actually said at one point he is going to tell his brother...but has not until now. Hmm I wonder how Takahiro will react. He certainly will be surprised, who wouldn't since Usagi is his childhood friend, and he never saw that coming (in fairness he is a bit blind to his surroundings). But then again, he is a nice guy, he will accept it sooner or only a bit later :)

Yes, I think Takahiro will accept it too because he really loves his brother and he wants him to be happy so...
And he also likes Usagi. He knows that he is a good guy.

Maybe, it'll be Misaki who will be more surprised by his brother's reaction than Takahiro's surprise by Misaki's relationship with Usagi (even if, indeed, Takahiro will be amazed by that... Now that I think about it, I wonder what Takahiro's wife thinks about Usagi and Misaki's relationship; if she's as blind as her husband or not).

I think that he feels guilty that Misaki has to go through the trouble of proving himself to others just to be with him.

i dont think its bout his brother...in MY OPINION!!..Asami is thinking that Misaki has grow up too much (mentally) that maybe he feeling insecure that maybe Misaki might leave him someday..or something like that ┑(￣Д ￣)┍

I kinda.. feel like... takahiro already knows of their relationship... more like he got a hint.... but either way I can't see him being against it.

In thinking along these lines, too. He doesn't want Misaki to change, or think too much, because maybe he would decide that he doesn't want to be with Asami anymore. Usagi still has a child like mind and if Misaki leaves him behind, he'll feel abandoned again

I think Misaki's brother will accept it. He loves Misaki no matter what. I think the hard part has always been Misaki is afraid of being rejected by his brother and the world. He's finally coming to term with his "straight boy turn gay by Usagi" love so NOW- he does not care what they / world thinks about his relationship with Aki-Chan. He's cmoing around....this is the real world Sensei is portraying after all. Not your typical yaoi happy ever after ending!!!!

Yes, I agree. Misaki has still a lot of thinking (and soul searching) to do to be truly at ease in his relationship with Usagi. The most part is accepting the death of his parents as an event in which he was not involved.

His belief of being the cause of their death is what prevents him from truly accept his relationship with Usagi (like to be able to say "I love you" to him more easily, or the embarrassment he always feels when they're making love).

Even if Misaki is Japanese and, due to his culture and education, is more shy to confess his feelings at loud and regularly, the fact that he always doesn't want to bother anyone is an obstacle in this relationship as he's always refraining himself.

Actually, I think Misaki is someone who is really tormented, but has great mental strength. I'd like him to be free of his turmoil. He and Usagi would be happier.

I totally agree with you. He has so many bad left over habits from his parents death. Things hes burried and left unresolved. Weve seen it, when usagi puts misaki first, he tends to get upset and see himself as troublesome. And hes always worried hell trouble others. And i think he doesnt like saying i love you and expressing himself much is partially cause he subconciously feels guilty for being happy. I think its all rooted to his parents death.

I think the same thing. And his inability to say "I love you" is maybe also a consequence of the fear to lose someone he loves. He loved his parents, he lost them. He also loves his brother but Takahiro was already present and loved by Misaki. But he met Usagi after his parents death and, maybe, for his self-protection, he didn't want to love someone else.

He never had a girlfriend before. We also never saw a friend from previous meetings at school or somewhere else. His sempai (Sumi), met at his university, was just a guy with whom he spoke (but Sumi is not a rellay good example as he tried to steal Usagi from Misaki). But we can see that Misaki is more friendly with Toudou than with Sumi (but, again, not a good example because they're two fans of The Kan). But still, I think Misaki is more opened than before towards people.

But it's a pity that Takahiro never spoke about their parents death with Misaki. When Takahiro mentionned to Usagi that Misaki was feeling guilty, he said that Misaki never talked about that because he knew Takahiro would say that it was not his fault. But why did Misaki have to talk first about that subject and not Takahiro? Why do everyone avoid this topic? Misaki cannot heal if there's not communication. I'd like to see that talk.
