Oh, these guys! They still have a long way to go, although it is already crystal clear where this way will lead them. Well, it least it SHOULD be clear to them, but Ryo is still doing a good job fighting the inevitable! ;D

In my head, Ryo has been determinedly denying he's gay his entire adult life. That, to me, is why the manga is called FAKE. That's Ryo 'I'm completely straight' Maclean, pretending to be something he's not. Deep down, he knows he's lying to himself, he just can't stop because the truth is too scary to accept. Until Dee finally breaks down the defences Ryo has constructed and helps Ryo to stop being afraid of being who he really is.

Thank you.

Nice contrast. I like how they are both somewhat self aware and somewhat in denial.

People and emotions are complicated, they're both still confused. Dee knows what he wants but not why. Ryo is just busy trying to convince himself that he doesn't want Dee..

Thank you

Good look at their situation from both points of view.
And (I can say this now) it seems really in character. Well done :-)
