You don’t have to be perfect in front of me.

THEN vs. NOW

Call each other by our first names.

The little smitten smile when Shirasaki finally used his first name? The swallow? The bright eyes? The way he has to look away? I could die for this little actor in love.

He is so preciooooousssss. Argh. I'm dying from cuteness of Japanese BLs! Only they can make you feel so warm from the very beginning.

And that's why I love the trope Best-Friends/Lovers(?) (only in series, I hate it in real life somehow but that's for my non existen therapist to unpack), it's only episode 3 of Living With Him and we already got those two attuned to each other's feelings, love confession - and without any unnecessary angst and miscommunication, here's immediate discussion and a lot of caring even while trying to figure out feelings, there's still domesticity, even though the usual world has cracked 🥺

He couldn't understand what he was feeling in return but he empathized that it must be hard to confess your love and still live together like nothing, so he wanted to still give anything he could, make him feel loved and aaaaaahhhhh

Japan, you. You.

I was wondering if you were good at sex. It pisses me off.

You've tried your best. No need to say sorry.

PERFECT PROPOSE パーフェクトプロポーズ (2024) dir. Horai Tadaaki

That's right. Maybe I do like you. But I won't date you. Because we're not in high school anymore. If I mess things up, I could lose everything.

We love a boy who can communicate and does because his mom reminded him that lying, especially to himself, is bad. And so he talks. And he explains. And he is kind and he is gentle and he is scared but he is honest.

This boy is about to experience a very big mindshift. And entire flip of his mindset.

Kazuhito's world is so much warmer and brighter than Ryo's, so yellow and orange to his cold blues. I love them deeply and this boy is in love.

I love this angel and this consent king who literally won't even kiss him when he isn't sure he means it. Absolutely perfect. We love a man who wants his kisses to be real and thought out and not just a momentary thing to be regretted. Love it here, @absolutebl, Japan jumping into the consent game again with both feet.

I love him so much. I love them so much. Because Ryo's world is much brighter when we're closer in on the two of them, though not as bright as Kazuhito's world. What a perfect confession between them two of them.

I adore a confession like this and I love them both, they're so tiny and so soft and so sweet. Beloved boys!

The cold walls and the warm windows, the wartmth they find inside and together versus the cold of their uncertainties that mostly come from outside but also from deep-seated insecurities that they can't so easily escape.

(Ryo still looks at Kazuhito and sees perfection and looks at himself and sees nothing of the sort, looks at him and doesn't know what to do because how can he help the perfect person who likes him even though he isn't worthy of being liked.)
