I feel that with Uta, he can do either. And he does.
He probably insists on being a power bottom their first time, though, to give Yomo a bit more control.
Their second time, which was probably within the hour, he topped. 😉

We all love angst. Join the angst party.
Yomo glances at his phone. Itori had given him no other indications besides an address in the fourth ward.
He arrives in the back alley to see Uta knocked against the concrete, surrounded by half a dozen thugs. Ghoul thugs, mind you; Uta could surely handle humans.
“What’s going on?” Yomo demands.
“Aw, has your boyfriend come to save you?” mocks one. Uta doesn’t respond.
“What’s going on is your boy is no longer in charge of the fourth ward. Not after all those investigators got called down here,” snaps the largest one.
“And we’re making sure he doesn’t come back,” adds the first.
Yomo eyes him.
“So Uta likes the strong, silent type?” tries another.
Yomo stays quiet. But in the dark they see his kakugans glowing.
The largest lunges at him, and Yomo easily knocks him into the wall.
“Ow!”
“Let’s get out of here,” says the first nervously.
The assholes run away, and Yomo scrambles to help Uta up.
“I’m fine. Just weak. Losing my leadership. Again.” Uta laughs bleakly, shrugging off Yoyo’s assistance.
“Again?” Yomo wonders.
“It doesn’t matter. I could have killed them all.” Uta smiles thinly. “I should have.”
“Then why didn’t you? What were you afraid of?” Yomo wonders.
Uta wants to tell Yomo everything he knows, but he can’t. Some things belong forgotten. “I don’t know.”
“On the bright side,” Uta says suddenly, “I’m now free of the ward. I can start that Mask Studio I’ve always wanted. And…I can devote more time to you.”
Yomo turns around, only to be met with Uta’s lips.
“They’re right,” he whispers, hoping that his love will cover his secrets, that his love will render him less alone, “I do like the strong, silent type.”
Bless you this Day of the Valentine, too. ❤
Touken
– Touka tackles Kaneki and drags him back to bed in the morning. 😉
– Kaneki buys her a ghoul-friendly cake. Three tiers, like a wedding cake.
– Touka has bought him a first edition of his Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis.
– Kaneki tacles Touka and takes her back for an early night. 😉
Ayahina
– Ayato forgot it was Valentine’s Day. After cursing himself out, he races to buy her a card before she wakes up.
– She knew he forgot, but it’s okay. She has her own surprise for him.
– Ayato returns, having hastily scribbled his devout love in her card.
– Hinami has bought Ayato a parakeet. Ayato practically cries in happiness.
Akiramon
– Amon is as smooth as Touka’s coffee. Flowers, chocolate, Maris Stella to pat as soon as Akira awakens.
– Akira is ready to counter him with ghoul-suited food for him, sweetened with as much sugar as a ghoul can tolerate.*
– Takes Akira out to a spicy curry shop for dinner.
*Given that Kaneki originally ate sugar cubes with blood, I’m guessing ghouls can tolerate some sugar, and Akira is ON it.
Seiaki
– Takizawa is terrified that he hasn’t bought her enough chocolate.
– His heart-shaped box is half the size of Akira.
– Akira laughs and tells him thank you, before revealing they have plans to spend the day in a dog and cat cafe.
Takirona
– Takizawa is a bit shy, but he’s bought Kurona flowers and Touka’s magnificent coffee.
– She kisses him and tells him he’s more than enough to make her happy.
– They spend their night in, watching Netflix and cuddling and talking about feelings.
Mutsurie
– Urie sweeps Mutsuki off his feet immediately.
– He’s pleased when Mutsuki promptly knocks his feet out from under him.
– They’re discovered making out in the halls outside their room.
Shiraiko
– Shirazu is stunned to wake up to Saiko serving him breakfast in bed.
– When he asks her how she woke up in time, she cheerfully says she didn’t go to sleep, because he is that important to her.
– She of course then snuggles with him, cuddling and eating the feast she’s prepared (with Kaneki’s cooking help).
Hsaiko
– Hsaio cosplays as Saiko’s favorite manga character to wake her up.
– Saiko insists that both can be late for work. … Not for sleep. 😉
– Saiko runs around bragging about her sexy girlfriend, and consults Hairu for how marriage is best sprung to a garden ghoul.
Suzuhan
– Hanbee takes Suzuya out for ice cream.
– Suzuya takes Hanbee to the latest Disney movie. He likes it, too. By the end, Hanbee is sobbing into Suzuya’s arms.
– At home, Hanbee discovers flowers decorating his room.
Fururize
– Furuta is awakened by Rize love-biting him
– He will take her to an all-you-can-eat restaurant suitable for ghouls, and think himself the luckiest man alive every time she steals a glance.
– Rize: “Are you feeding me so I have the energy to dominate you tonight?”
– Furuta: *mews*
Nishikimi
– Nishiki: “Since you were okay with putting a bangle around my wrist, what if I put a ring around your finger?”
– Kimi: *eyes wide* “Nishiki-kun!”
– Nishiki: “I mean, I don’t have it yet. But I figured I’d ask. For future reference.”
– Kimi: “Now I’m half tempted to make you put it around my middle finger.”
Tsukikana
– Tsukiyama awakens Karren by sprinkling diamonds and gold dust on her.
– Karren has collaborated with Chie to get the best, most exotic food for Shuu..
– They dance the night away, until Karren suggests another form of dance. 😉
Higetori
– Higemaru’s a bit concerned Hakatori will find it dumb, but he would totally propose on Valentine’s Day.
– She says yes, then chastises him for giving her a present she can’t top.
– Her present, however, involves a concert and “Higemaru appreciation day,” in which she’s convinced all the Aogiri kids to make him cards.
Uihai
– Can you say PREPARED. Ui’s been planning their dinner at the best restaurant in town for months. He buys Hairu a gargantuan chocolate heart, which she promptly breaks in two for him.
– Hairu gives him tickets for a play Ui’s been dying to see, for the next weekend.
– Hairu suggests snuggles after they walk home.
Nakimiza
– Once Naki heard about this tradition of celebrating love, he ran around consulting ways to celebrate Miza.
– He throws confetti (supplied by Tsukiyama) on her, and she kisses him.
– “You know, you could have just wished me a happy Valentine’s Day and that would be enough,” says she. He then cries about how it wouldn’t be enough for Miza.
Arieto
– Let’s see, how can Eto troll the Reaper?
– bribes access to CCG for herself, then appears in Arima’s office yelling “boo!”
– Arima’s office door closes for the next few hours.
Utaren
– Uta is determined to embarrass Yomo.
– He buys him a ridiculously sized box of chocolates neither can eat, and a new coat
– To his surprise, Yomo has also bought him paint for masks. But Uta’s real treat is how flustered and flushed Yomo is.
Awwww thank you. ❤
– Once Uta awakens, he dismisses Yomo’s concern and pretends everything is fine.
– Truthfully, he doesn’t recall anything he said. Hopefully he didn’t say anything super crazy like being a one-eyed king.
– He’s disappointed when Yomo grants him space by not pressing the issue.
– So he goes out and tries to get drunk again to spur more concern from Yomo.
– Yomo catches him, figures out his passive-aggressive plan, and calls him on it.
– This time, Yomo sits Uta down and demands to know what is going on.
– Uta replies that he’s lonely and wants a friend and that’s why he does all this horrible shit.
– Yomo listens to Uta’s confessions and assures him that he won’t abandon this immoral ghoul, because Yomo isn’t judgmental at all.
– Uta hugs Yomo, and for once the stoic Yomo returns the embrace.
– Uta asks Yomo a few questions about what he said while drunk. He’s very disappointed to learn he didn’t try to kiss Yomo.
– So he tries now.
It’s an Uta and Yomo day on the blog, apparently. Excellenttttttt.

“It’s been a while,” says a voice when Uta exits HySy.
He turns around to see Yomo standing there. “Renji.”
Yomo’s arms are crossed. “We’re moving to the 24th Ward before your friend gets us all slaughtered.”
“He’s not my friend,” Uta says.
Renji’s kakugans ignite. “I know you work with him, Uta.”
Uta’s shoulders slump. “So?”
“So – how can you – people are dying, and you’re helping him, for what? A laugh?” Yomo approaches, grabs Uta by his shoulders, stares into his eyes. “What aren’t you telling me?”
“Many things,” Uta replies after a pause.
“Why won’t you tell me?”
“Trust issues?” Uta grins.
“Uta, I’m one of the few in your life you can trust, and you know that,” Yomo says wit an ironic smile. He releases Uta and steps back.
“I do, and I’m grateful.” Uta stares at the ground. “You can stay here tonight. You’ll be safe.”
“I’m late already to meet up with Ayato. The nephew I don’t trust to know that.” Yomo laughs bleakly.
“I see.” Uta knows this isn’t a break-up. He and Yomo will never forsake each other. But it still hurts. Yomo’s disappointment.
“Hey.” Yomo steps closer and sweeps him towards him. He plants a passionate kiss on Uta’s lips. “I’ll see you again.”
“Don’t get yourself killed.” Uta sighs. “Promise me.”
“I promise.” Yomo steps back. “But when I return, when it’s safe, we’re going to talk.”
“Are we?” Uta winks.
“Yeah.” And then Renji is gone, and Uta feels lonelier than ever.
Aw Nonnymouses like you give me life!
So does Yomouta.
– Uta definitely gave the glasses Yomo called stupid to Yomo for his first birthday they were friends.
– Uta roped Yomo into all kinds of shenanigans trolling the doves. After one particularly close call, Yomo yelled at Uta. When Uta protested that Yomo was acting way more upset than normal, Yomo pushed Uta against the wall and kissed him a la this picture: (original source here)

– After he recovered from his shock, Uta kissed Yomo back and actually toppled him over with passion.
– Yomo was quite reserved once he started working for Anteiku, however, to Uta’s disappointment. They drifted apart for a bit.
– They rekindled their relationship when Uta was demoted from leading the 4th Ward. Yomo sought him out with a bottle of blood wine, and gave him a hug. That was the first night they made love.
– Uta never directly told Yomo that his tattoo was about him. He just spoke the words when Yomo asked. But Uta smiled carefully, and Yomo understood.
Hahaha aw thank you. Also that was my attempt at chickening out, dammit.
Koma once asked Uta if his tattoo was about Yomo. No one is allowed to speak of what happened next.
– What happened next was Uta laughing. “Of course not,” he said.
– “Why are your kakugans glowing?” Koma wondered then. “I can tell they’re activated for once.”
– …
– “Oh my god, Irimi, he’s sweating.”
– Koma began to sing. “Uta and Yomo, sitting on CCG…k-i-s-s-i…”
– “Finish that and you die,” Uta warned him. “Anyone speaks of this, they die.”
– “So I shouldn’t have texted Itori?” Irimi asked.
– Uta dove for her phone to find that, thank God, she was only joking.
– Yomo then appeared and was very confused at Irimi and Koma’s grins, and Uta’s uncharacteristic shyness.
– And that is how Anteiku found out the limit to Uta’s easygoing nature: Yomo Renji.

“You need to calm down, dude.” Uta pops an eyeball into his mouth as Yomo paces before him.
“I can’t. Touka seems so angry – and I can’t reach her.” Yomo scowls.
“I mean, you could have always started with honesty and then you’d never have to worry about confessing.” Uta licks his lips. “But that wouldn’t be your way, eh? Always the hard way.”
“I don’t know any other,” Yomo says gruffly.
“That’s something you and I have in common, dear Renji.” Uta stands and begins massaging Yomo’s shoulders. “Hell, could you be more tense?”
“You’re not helping,” Yomo mutters.
“Oh?” Uta buries his face in Yomo’s shoulders. “Is that so?”
Yomo sighs. “Why are you like this?”
“Maybe someday you’ll learn I’m your uncle,” Uta teases. He wiggles his eyebrows.
Yomo has to laugh. He allows Uta to lead him upstairs, to his bedroom. Uta beckons for him to lay down.
“Let me massage your feet or something. Help you relax.”
“You really don’t have to.”
“I want to.” Uta slides his hand between Yomo’s thighs. He groans in respond, and Uta smiles even more at the sound. “I’m your friend, right?”
