Summary
Yushi's life is fine; for all intents and purposes, he still exists. He's still Yushi.
He just isn't as happy as he could be, and that kills Riku. He won't allow himself to realize it, and that's killing himself, which is the worst thing Yushi could ever do next to telling Riku he isn't cute.
But it's okay. None of this calls for the end of the world, not when Riku can still fix things.
It's just… sometimes birds have to be pushed out of their nests to fly.

Summary
“Even our own sons don’t take care of the house like you do, Riku-chan,” his mother says, reaching up to pinch Riku’s cheek. Her husband hums in agreement, patting Riku on the back and offering to buy Riku some desserts soon.
The thought of Riku being the perfect son that his parents have always wanted has crossed his mind more times than he can count and now that he’s living in their home it’s glaringly obvious. They praise him as if he’s their son—they adore him as if he’s their son. Riku thrives under the attention. Yushi watches him; the way Riku ducks his head down with a reddened face. He lets out a laugh that’s more like a giggle and it has Yushi feeling sick to his stomach.
“That’s not true,” Riku shakes his head, “Everyone does their share around the house. I just wanted to help out a little more since Auntie refused to let me pay rent.”
And there it is—Riku with the perfect, humble response. Yushi balls up his fists and goes back to his room.
For years the name Maeda Riku has brought a wave of anxiety over Yushi. And then Riku moves into the Tokuno family home and Yushi spirals.

Summary
Riku does whatever he wants with Yushi because Yushi lets him. And Yushi lets Riku do whatever he wants because he's in love with him.
The problem is, Riku doesn't know this, and Yushi doesn't think he needs to.
