Sincere, brooding uke × sweet-on-the-outside, dark-on-the-inside fake straight seme
(The seme gets even more brooding later and crawls all over the place.)
1.
Lu Yao has had a crush on Yan Nanqing for six months. He follows him, takes photos of him without his knowledge, and argues with people online on his behalf, living like a sasaeng fan.
In real life, Lu Yao is quiet, gloomy, and introverted, like a wilted patch of moss. He's a complete shut-in.
Lu Yao knows that Yan Nanqing is a man of impeccable character, and that the two of them are like parallel lines that will never intersect.
But on the day he returns home for the holidays, he runs into Yan Nanqing at home.
He's about to become Yan Nanqing's stepbrother. They'll be seeing each other every day.
Lu Yao: ...I've been set up.
2.
After his crush is exposed, Lu Yao behaves himself and pretends to be straight, working hard to be a good older brother.
But Yan Nanqing takes him along to fight, stays up all night looking after him when he's sick, and even grabs his hand on New Year's Eve to set off fireworks together.
Lu Yao: ...Straight guys are downright vicious.
Afraid to read too much into it, he keeps his distance. After graduation, he finds a job in another province so he can disappear completely from Yan Nanqing's world, where gay men aren't wanted.
But in the days before he leaves, hickeys appear under his plaid shirt more and more often. They're red and blue, some taking three to five days to fade, and they're gradually spreading down his body.
Maybe it's a stress allergy. He needs to leave as soon as possible.
3.
Lu Yao doesn't know that, almost every night since they started living together, Yan Nanqing has been sneaking into his room, his refined face clouded with madness.
"Even if you run to the ends of the earth, I'll crawl into your bed and kiss you until your legs go weak, until you're soft all over, like a puddle..."
"Big brother."

A few things to know before reading:
1. The uke is two years younger, but they're in the same grade. He took time off from school.
2. The uke really is a stalker, and the seme really is homophobic at first. There will be some harsh language, but there's a reason for it. They're both good boys, though, quq.
3. The seme and uke aren't on the same household register and aren't related by blood. They're both adults.
4. Most of the characters and plot are fictional. Please don't apply them to real life. Let's all be law-abiding citizens.
