The story was cute, but the ending was ruined for me. Spoiler! I guess I should be ashamed to admit that I am not sexually mature enough to accept that the AV thing is just work, like how the uke just accepted it like doing AV is just really being an extra in a movie. And here I thought the uke was supposed to be almost like a virgin even with a child). I don't even think the uke heard the word "doing AV all day". For someone so depressed upon seeing the seme kissing another guy and being unable to talk "maturely" with the seme about it, you would think the uke would have a different reaction than the one he had when he learned the seme was making AV all day. Fron his reaction, you would think the seme was admitting to working at another restaurant for more money.
And then there's the seme. I get it that although he's a strong man, having his house burned almost to the ground really did him in. No matter how cheerful in your life you are, this kind of thing will also make you weak and helpless. And people like that do strange things that are oppose to their principles. I get that. But I guess I am also not emotionally mature enough to accept that excuse. I don't think I will accept that the seme, wanting to get out of the uke's house asap for fear of jumping the uke, accepted the AV work. Say what? The seme, to get out of having sex with the uke prematurely, had sex all day with another guy? Uh, yes, that's what it says right there in the last chapter. It was kind of mentioned so slyly, that the passive look by the uke made me think the uke wasn't paying too much attention to what was said. The only thing that registered to his mind is that the other guy was not a lover. Yup, the other guy was not a lover, just someone the seme had sex with all day. So, a sex friend! A sex co-worker? The seme did not really clarified that, and the uke was too satisfied with the words "not a lover" for him to bother with it.
This is work, I'm desperate, blah, blah, blah. Nobody was forcing him to get out of the house fast. He has time to do something, because a lot of people are willing to help him. He is not out of work, he has a temporary housing and although you have a child, the kid thinks he is in heaven. So, what's the rush that you have to accept something you don't want in the first place. And the seme knows what kind of a man the uke is. It is one thing to hear some person who you just met to be engaging in making AV in the past, but it is a different story to hear someone you love doing AV in the present. I didn't know the seme could be that stupid.
Basically, what that part tells me is that the seme coud be bought for a price. Here is a horny kid who really, really wants to star with the seme in an AV, for who knows how long that kid has waited for the seme to return to making AVs. And that said horny kid is even willing to sacrifice his pay for that movie, just so you would agree to making that movie. And the end result? That horny kid got what he wanted and was satisfied all day by the seme. Lucky kid.
And yes, that "all day" really stuck in my mind all day and got my imagination running.
