Pairing: Gotou x Tatsumi

Two boys with opposite personalities still manage to get along quite well... even if they each think that the other might be an idiot.

1-2) Renai-rubi no Tadashii Furikata "I wanted to see him make this kind of face." I was a gloomy nerd in high school, and at that time I was entwined with Washizawa Natsuo - my dark past. Now, a few years later, we have reunited and Natsuo asked me out. This is my chance. We’ll go out, then I’ll break up with him, leaving him in tatters! 3) Hodokeru Kaibutsu "At best, you get hurt and it’s over." One of Natsuo’s friends from high school, Hayashida, had a drunk encounter with flashy subordinate Shuuna, and they became fuck buddies. Long before, Hayashida hit his lover. Hayashida, with as many regrets as he has piercings, wonders if Shuuna will hold him forever? (Hayashida Kan appears also in Sabita Yoru Demo Koi wa Sasayaku)

Sho knew from a young age that he was gay, and everyone around him knew it and had generally been very supportive. He was also very clear that he had a specific fetish: a beautiful, red blush! Sho always thought he had a preference for the cute, blushing type, so he was surprised when he felt electricity flow through him at the sight of Nao blushing on stage while being forced to wear women’s clothes as part of a college event. Once Sho set his target on Nao, he thought he was extremely clear and upfront about his feelings for Nao, but it took Nao a little time to realize that Sho wasn’t joking at all – He really wanted to pin Nao down and have his way with him at any cost!
