Yesss I agree!! Souta should just to see that there are other people who do feel attracted to the same sex. Right now, he hasn’t seen any of that and I feel like it is affecting his confidence in some way. I want him to see that it is valid to love Nao in that regard even if he might not feel the same way (even though he does/will).

Wow you can see the sadness and fear of Souta leaving in Nao’s eyes when he asks him why he’s leaving. He really wants to spend time with himmm
Hermione
2024-12-12 01:25:46 +0000 UTC
I do think Arashi was being a bit insensitive? But to be fair she doesn’t really know Souta, but to be even more fair she kinda brushed aside his attempt to connect with her😭 This part’s made me realize I really do want Souta to meet other queer people, I think it’ll really help his confidence if he did

Nao needs better boundaries if he even regards souta as a friend. Nao said that it had been a while since they hung out, and didn’t really consider how Souta would feel having a stranger join them. And goes as far as ignoring him during their hangout. Souta doesn’t deserve the disrespect and it reminds me when I felt left out by my friends who did these things. It hurts to see this and they really gotta talk things out, Souta too about why he has his job because it’s a big thing to hide

Nao appears oblivious to what is happening. I do not blame Souta or even the girl, it was Nao that messed things up. Hopefully he will eventually figure it out.

It’s hard not to read her actions as insensitive but she may also just be clueless and we haven’t taken into account that she may have some sort of condition that affects her ability to read social cues and whatnot. I’m just trying to be understanding I guess?
Birdie
2024-10-17 23:07:40 +0000 UTC

Second, Souta my boy, you haven't met fujoshi or fudanshi...we are always coupling same/similar sex people!!🥰 Souta needs to meet maybe another bi/gay guy or something to see that his relationship with Nao is possible🥺🤞🏼🙏🏼

That’s so true. All my friend and I have to do is go somewhere together and people automatically think we’re dating or married just because they see a man and a woman spending time together in public without other people. My friend was looking for a new bed-frame and I went with him. The staff person who was helping my friend joking said, “It will be *her* decision what bed-frame you two get” while looking at me. Not sure what I said, but it was basically along the lines of “It will be his bed and we’re not together.”

oh, that window reflection scene is so well done. poor souta ;_; i've been there man. reiterating what i said last week: hitting hard!!! i'm living for the pain but hough. this boy needs some tender loving care. at least a hug. i hope since nao realized souta was constantly walking behind them that he tries to talk to souta about it - whether he goes after him now or gives souta space. hopefully it doesn't end up in shouting matches like old times, but instead ends up genuine talks like new times (like the sorts of talking they did after nao lost his mom and showed up at souta's place, given i know that was after the shouting/anger, but maybe they can make progress on doing that without yelling first). once again, thank u for the lovely writing and pain, aina!

Souta, the reason girls are always seen as love interests is because of sexism and heteronormativity, and it's a fucking negative thing...

I understand to some it may seem obvious that Nao likes Souta and Souta likes Nao and they should kiss already gaaa! BUT. Its not, they are two japanese highschoolers who live in a conservitive country that frowns upon lgbt couples. Its actaully really commen for gay couples to stay in the closet thier whole lives. Some gay men even take thier sexuallity to thier grave. Its a sad reality that will hopefully change in the future. But just giving you guys context to why they might not be rushing to get together. Plus gay relationships are tricky especially if it's not super obvious that the person you like is gay,bi, or pan. Relationships are messy

I'm going to very intensely judge Nao by his next move. He seemed to have finally picked up that something was off with Souta, so I'm hoping he does something about it. Saouta is very much in his head and his emotions are heavily being guided by what he sees/thinks society accepts as a relationship. Something, or rather someone, needs to prove him wrong.
