First Note Of Love - Tumblr Posts
I held off on watching First Note of Love because I was like… guitars? In my BL? *intense GMMTV flashbacks* but I just binged all available episodes and it is downright LOVELY. Downside is the agony of waiting between episodes, especially knowing that there is bound to be some kind of final act climax involving sad things that I will have to wait a week to see resolved.

NEIL REALLY MESSING WITH SEA'S HEAD BY SHOWING HIM THAT VIDEO WITH HIS BROTHER LOL
I love that Neil laid down a challenge and Sea not only took it but went farther than Neil ever could. But Sea is so pained afterwards and I just wanna hug him. Ugh, the tears in his voice in the hall? Broken into pieces.
Because, in a lot of ways, Neil is trying to protect him and protect himself. He started this so young and he lost his brother and with his brother he lost so much that he can't face and because he was so young there was nothing else for him to have.
How scared is he? Of himself, of Sea, of what all of this represents? And Sea, Sea who just makes music to make music, who makes music because he loves music and because that's the only way he's found to heal himself... who meets a man afraid of healing.
Augh, my heart.

Neil's panic attack and Sea's practical and experienced and compassionate response.
Sea's anxiety is so high after this and he's basically not functioning after this which is not helpful either. But Reese's anxiety is also at an all time high and he needs this to work but he's more afraid of putting this on Neil (because he's seen him break) than on Sea and it's painful to watch that anxiety and stress and pain pass between them.
And Neil's worry for Sea? The worry that he doesn't know how to approach because he doesn't really understand what kind of worry is needed here? Ugh. I love them. Neil is so obviously worried but telling him to go home isn't actually helping what he's nervous about and Neil has no idea what's going on because he's being protected as well. He sees Sea's nerves but he doesn't know where they're coming from.
At least the truth comes out and Neil knows. And the way Neil gets so mad at Reese. Because he cares about Sea so much and Reese cares more about Neil and he's used to protecting him and just added Sea to 'people who help protect Neil' without realizing that Neil doesn't want anyone else in that category and especially not Sea.
Neil leans on Sea but he doesn't want to put all of this on him. He wants to carry his own weight. And he wants to protect Sea, to take care of him.
Just Neil looking to Xiao Hai for reassurance (˃̣̣̥ᯅ˂̣̣̥)
