The second story is good but the "is he dating someone else now?!" trope doesn't work in it's favour; aside from the fact Asaka followed them and got sadder, it doesn't add anything. Usually it's the thing that pushes the character forward/gives them the resolution to talk to the person they like, but in this case what gave Asaka that resolution/courage was him reminiscing about the love letter that Ookami sent him. Asaka also doesn't even mention in his confession that he thought Ookami had a date now, he only brings it up post-confession. It’s like a gun by anyone other than Chekhov. Idk, I just thought things could be wrapped up better than that.
But that's just a minor nitpick. Other than that, I thought both stories were super nice the cuteness ranks it up to a 8/10
