Yaoi where BOTH guys are straight - or were, anyway...

Freefall Romance remains one of my fave yaoi titles of all time. This is simply because BOTH the guys in it are straight (or were until they met each other!), and watching them awkwardly bumble their way into a gay relationship without really knowing what the hell is going on is vastly entertaining for me, as a reader. 🤣 Oh, boys.
Same goes for 50x50, where two womanizing idiots somehow keep ending up in bed with each other despite the fact that neither was interested in men before - and they're STILL not interested in each other, or so they insist, although it's more of a case of the bishie doth protest too much. 😛
Anything else were both guys are straight - as in never even contemplated being attracted to another guy before - but somehow find that they're falling in love/lust with each other?
Please note that I do mean both were completely straight before this, not even any hints of gay daydreams or fantasies or innocent man-crushes or compliment-induced blushes or even the slightest bit of bi-curiosity. They. Were. Completely. Straight. TOTALLY straight. I don't just mean "theoretically" straight, as in boys that have no experience and just imagine that they're straight, but bona fide straight guys with a proven sexual history with women, and a total absence of attraction towards men (so far).
Which is why their initial reaction to the gayness is likely to be: "#$#%&#@....?!?!?!"
Lol... Incomprehensible Keymash of Doom (a.k.a. Sexual Confusion).
😀
MOAR PLZ!

Okay, I was thinking about this for a few weeks, but you know, no answer. Because in typical yaoi, everyone is gay. Or in the closet. But this might fit your requirements, Zantei, Koibito. Well, if it doesn't, I still recommend it because it's now one of my favorites, up there with like Totally Captivated.

I think it's the fact that the stright guys u mention need to have previous seual history with woman. both of them
yaoi mangas don't usually care for the person's sexual history, expecially if they were stright. most of them are either gay or vergin.
sezz is bonified stright(as in ad relationship with woman), and motto is stright (or as far as we know, he hates guys that act "weird" toward him). althought it's motto that freaks out, not sezz.
Under Grand Hotel or at least they claim to be, but having no choice.
Okane ga Nai again, self-declared stright that just like to have sex with boys.
A Night of a Thousand Dreams really soft, seme was married, uke was supposed to marry...but he didn't.
Madness
seme had realtionship with woman, and the uke is just aginst sex in general (he's a priest)
but can you really define "had relationsip with a woman" as the indication that he's stright? for all we know he could be bisexual. you can't really tell the person's sexual oriantation like that. if we cannot say that the vergins are stright, then we can't tell that the people who had relationship with woman is stright or bisexual.

I absolutely LOVE Freefall Romance. It's one of my favorites as well. As a matter of fact, anytime I see someone even remotely asking for anything along those lines, I suggest it (which is what brought me to this topic). Thanks for making this topic, btw. I never would've thought of it, but it's also something I like. I'm gonna read some of these.
Now, on to what I'm writing about. It was really fun for me to see Nanase's appearances in Ordinary Crush. I was just wondering if you've read that one. I think he's only in the second volume though.
Mind eraser, no chaser
