more of the BL I've read and will sooo not be buying

Roommate wa binan de yajuu by Nanbara Ken (illustrations by Koujima Naduki)

This isn't bad so much as not to my taste. I kind of skimmed a lot of it (it went fast because I skipped most of the sex...and there was a lot of sex) but it was (almost) worth reading just for this one scene towards the end. XD Momosegawa Maki is a second year at a music high school. He is a "cool beauty" who has tons of guys wanting a piece of him. He gets a transfer student as his roommate in the dorm. Sakurakouji Shizuka, who happens to also be Maki's first love and the guy who had unceremoniously dumped him when he had moved abroad with his parents several years ago. Shizuka happens to arrive on the day Maki had a rendezvous with his current boyfriend. Not only could they not have the planned day of hot sex, but Shizuka kisses Maki's boyfriend (My rule is to make a play at every cute boy I see) as well as coming onto Maki. Throughout it's soooo obvious that Maki is still head over heels over Shizuka, which he kind of ends up admitting to himself. But he still has the hurt from several years ago and tries to get over it. Shizuka isn't having none of it, getting Maki to engage in sex with him quite a lot. In the end he blackmails Maki with a very naughty picture he takes of Maki and makes him choose to either be his boyfriend or his slave. Maki does not want to be his boyfriend, so he chooses to be his slave. During a school break they go to Shizuka's family's villa. At one point Maki finds himself alone with Shizuka's phone, which is where the naughty pic is stored. So he takes the chance to delete it, but is dumbfounded to find a gallery of pictures of HIM. Him sleeping, during sex, random hidden shots, and even pictures from years ago when they had been dating. I wasn't sure how Shizuka's true feelings would be revealed (because obviously he wanted Maki back as a boyfriend, his penchant for being a bit mean during sex aside) and I wanted to laugh at how amazed Maki was at the discovery, and how Shizuka got all sullen when Maki demanded to know what the gallery was all about. "It's it obvious?" Why yes it is.

I am not that fond of this kind of coupling in this kind of story (rather mean seme x loud resistant uke in a situation in which it is pretty obvious they still care...), but I do like the expression on Shizuka's face in this pic:
