Okay we have the kiss we have all waited for. The next step, will these two have another conversation? If so what will Yashiro's first words be when they pull apart? Will he call him an idiot? That has been his pet name for him from the beginning. Will he be shy or aggressive with his very new old love. Volume 10 has ended the timeskip is 4 volumes in.
Volume 7 began with their new lives. Yashiro suffering alone with dreams of Doumeki that shook him out of his sleep. Doumeki suffering through it all and trying to become a man Yashiro would respect. Volume 7 ended in the shower with sexual tension carried over after 4 years, which carried over to vol. 8 which gave us Yashiro's need to be kissed by Doumeki. Volume 8 ended with Doumeki dragging Yashiro away from Kito. Volume 9 began with them having sex after 4 years, and ended with Yashiro contemplating love.
Volume 10 we made it begins with Yakuza business and Doumeki visiting Yashiro for sex on the regular. Doumeki protecting Yashiro and getting shot and loosing his place in his group. So now we are finally here the end of volume 10. Doumeki in dire straits and Yashiro finally coming to his senses. Will I be able to survive this hiatus? It will be hard, so I'll start reading from the beginning once more and feeling it all again.
