Bergamot & Sunny Day by Lyee Kitahala
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Riku is convinced he's bad at relationships as he's never made it to 3 months with one person. Enter Josh, his employer at the cafe, and things start turning on their head. How Riku could convince himself that they're just a fling even after months of this is baffling as it's clear Josh doesn't intend on letting go. Even then, he seems far more concerned with Riku's feelings and happiness while still managing to be aware of his own feelings. It's hinted that there's some age gap at least as Josh is older and "more experienced", however, this gap isn't defined. At least it seems they're both already old enough to drink and Riku is working with no mention of school, so while the age gap is unknown, hopefully it is minimal. Josh is very careful not to abuse his position as employer over Riku, or that would be a concern as well. If anything, Josh seems to want to do whatever he can to convince Riku to stay.
