Arbitrage June 15, 2021 9:33 pm

Mika is running away from a family he can't make proud, and Souji is running away from a family that is broken. Both are suffering from feelings of emptiness and loneliness and console one another throughout their school days into adulthood.

Their relationship is ambiguous and at first is just a way to offer comfort to one another, like comrades that have the same trauma.

As time moves on, Souji realizes that he no longer wishes to just be Mika's comfort, but also be someone he can actually see for him, as a person who loves him. He longs for an actual relationship with Mika, not just a fleeting space where they lick each other's wounds. This change is what Souji meant when they no longer wish for the same things that they did before.

Mika's father's death is a bit of a catalyst for him to realize that he has deeper feelings for Souji than just someone to comfort him. The person that caused him the most grief in his life is gone, but he still craves Souji's company. While Mika is still terribly afraid of his own feelings, this is the turning point.

After Mika and Souji's fight following Mika's mom contacting them and Souji telling her where they live, Mika comes to terms with the fact that he has, indeed, been running from his past and had just been using Souji. He also comes to fully accept that Souji means more to him than just an object that he can use to comfort himself; he decides to face his problems head on, and that's where they stand when they finally meet and seem to resolve their issues.

The author's notes are SO distracting, please, please, please stop using them so much; I really, REALLY appreciate the translation, but if people can't even understand a basic convo, that's their problem... or they can ask in the comments. 9/10 people will understand the convo abt the cemetary w/o the authors notes....
I might just stick to insta for the translations, or even just read the raws, bc my god they break the entire flow of the story. /sigh

    Some people are deadass stupid sometimes so it's nice that there are translator notes. Maybe making the font smaller would help? That way they're not obtrusive.

    No, for me of course i would know what they meant. But if the translator notes is explaining i dont mind because i really want to know specifically

    for me they're size is good I have visions problems so it's perfect for me and I really appreciate they're notes (although it seems obvious to me it helps a lot of people especially the ones that are begging to read these of stories/book)

    And i’ll answer you again i did hear you the first time and made them less all the insta translations so far i saw are also mine so idk. If someone has a problem no need to put it in the comments come to me i put my insta for a reason. I’m always trying my best to stay nice and do what everyone needs so if you want to complain come to me I answer every single message i get.

the uke was previously dumped because he looked cold, but was actually clingy, his previous lover cheated on him.

now he's living with someone he picked up off the streets and is afraid to show affection.

the uke has glasses and the seme is blond iirc.
