We'll Break Up Once Same-Sex Marriage Is Legal

Maybe it’s because same-sex marriage is about to become legal. Lately, my sugar daddy has been very moody. Everyone says that once same-sex marriage is legalized, we’ll definitely break up, because Mr. Wei will go marry his old flame. I thought so too. But lately, he keeps blushing at the drop of a hat, and he’s getting more and more childish. For instance, one evening I washed a pear and gave him one. He looked at it and got upset. “How could you split me away from you?!” he accused. All right, my fault. We won’t split. We won’t split pears. So that night, we split peaches instead. Mr. Wei is a good sugar daddy, so as his devoted lover, I shouldn’t make things difficult for him. On the day same-sex marriage was confirmed as legal, I took the initiative and suggested we break up, so we could part on good terms. Though perhaps “break up” wasn’t quite the right word. “Separate” would be more accurate. Mr. Wei was stunned. “You... don’t want to marry me?” I was stunned too. “Aren’t we in a sugar daddy arrangement?” Mr. Wei: “...Which bastard told you that?!” Me: “...?” Later, Mr. Wei cried miserably all day. I never dared bring up breaking up again. - Content notes: 1. First-person narration, with a top and a bottom. 2. A top who keeps a straight face in public but is a jealous, devoted husband in private × a resilient, handsome bottom who’s every bit a heartthrob. 3. Fake sugar daddy arrangement. The bottom thinks their relationship is contractual and temporary, while the top thinks they’re already dating, so he flirts and keeps drawing things out as much as he likes. 4. Sweet and sour, that’s me. Theme: Face life’s hardships, and you’ll eventually embrace its warmth and light.
