I don't think that is gonna happen brotha. From what I read (either on T@pas or Insta I don't remember as it was years ago) their relationship will only ever be platonic with one sided romantic feelings (From the Boy towards Tera). On T@pas the author also has in the description to not use the yaoi tag for this story. Idk if the author changed his mind about this so that's why I am just lurking in here to see people's reactions But on T@pas the author also put the Boys Love genre for this story... I personally don't find the genre suitable for a platonic relationship so that's why I have hopes for a proper romance at some point in the story between these two

Yeah, I remember a few years ago he was answering questions about the story on IG and like you said, he mentioned the characters were never going to kiss, let alone have sex. I also remember readers—including myself—losing their minds over it because this wasn't exactly the typical BL story most of us expected.
A lot of people accused the artist of queerbaiting but personally I see it as something between a strong bromance and a young boy figuring out his sexuality, so I wouldn't call it a complete bait-and-switch. That said, it does feel like the artist may have shifted the direction a little, though I'm not entirely sure since the boy’s still a minor but I’m also hoping we get some genuine romance, not necessarily sex but at least something more openly romantic.

Yeah personally I don't think the story is queerbaiting at all but calling it a BL might be a bit misleading IF there is no romance buuuut I also see this shift a bit so hopes and prayers we get smth more clear later Still peak story though. Also the Boy is still a minor? For some reason I thought he turned 18 at some point

I actually don’t think sex suits this story and I hope the author doesn’t put it in. I actually like how ambiguous their relationship is, it has far more chemistry than majority of yaoi with tons of explicit scenes. Not everything needs sex or even explicit romance
