An anthology. Neither the top nor the bottom is anything close to normal.
★ A control freak x a homebody who acts like a housewife
X is a shut-in who often doesn't leave the house for ten days or half a month. After 46 days without stepping outside, he was kicked out.
Then his childhood friend, a young high-flyer who had already become an executive, took him in.
X (covering his face): What is this blinding light? I'm going to go blind!
Top: Then go sleep on the street.
X (shuffling off his slippers) (climbing into bed) (plugging in his phone charger) (opening a game): No. I've already put down roots here.
The top, his temple twitching: And what's your next plan? (pointing at the work plan)
X: Grow mushrooms. (flops down)
The top's not particularly fond of his childhood friend, but life feels more and more comfortable with him taking up his bed.
Every day when he gets home, he sees the same friend appear at the same spot, in a different outfit. His messages get an instant reply. Since X has no social life, he tells the top about every little thing and shares it with him. He accepts everything the top brings home.
It seems the need for control that his useless subordinates can't satisfy has finally found an outlet.
★ A male ghost x a cross-dresser
X loves everything beautiful in the world, especially his own body.
He manages his weight and body fat, takes meticulous care of his body hair, and dresses himself up like a flawless work of art, admired by millions.
In real life, though, X is just an ordinary office worker.
One day, a rich second-generation heir parachutes into the company as his direct superior. X discovers he's the taciturn top student from his middle school class.
The former top student is easier to get along with now, warm and polite to everyone, and highly capable at work. His colleagues quickly grow to love him.
But the top student says he's been secretly in love with X since high school.
After they get together, X decides to give up his little hobby and permanently shut down his livestream account.
If only he hadn't discovered that basement.
There are photos of him there: from middle school, from the office, from his livestreams... There's the eraser he used once and threw away, and the mechanical pencil he used to love most.
A nose traces the surface of his skin, coming and going, while warm breath sends shivers through him. In someone else's hands, he becomes that perfect work of art once again.
★ A rabid dog x someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder
X thinks his roommate is a rabid dog who can't understand human speech.
He's noisy, throws his things everywhere, has no sense of boundaries, and is always using X's personal belongings, turning his life into a complete mess.
The top also thinks X is seriously messed up. He even complains when the top doesn't hang his underwear facing the same direction. What a dry, boring guy.
The two share an apartment and can argue ten times in half a day. Every second, they feel like strangling each other.
One day, X gets dumped. The reason? After dating for a week, his boyfriend had only managed to hold his hand, and X had complained that his palms were sweaty.
Later, that annoying roommate grips his waist with a sweaty palm, turning his life, and his whole self, into a complete mess. When X slaps him across the face, it only makes the rabid dog try harder.
The top never imagined that one day he'd bite down on the leash around his neck and place it in someone else's hands, willingly letting himself be tamed.
I'll add more as I think of them. They're all short, mindless little sweet stories. Read whichever one you like.
