    Summary

    Nakamura loved two things:

    1. Icchan, his red octopus: compulsive aquarium rearranger, LEGO collector, and quite possibly the first cephalopod in recorded history to moonlight as a therapist. He listened to every one of Nakamura's rambles about the light-haired boy without a single flicker of judgment. An excellent quality in a confidant.
    2. Hirose, who carried a laugh Nakamura had memorized like a song — warm, funny, and entirely unaware that Nakamura found something to fall for in even the way Hirose breathed.

    The two of them were the axis his world turned on.

    Then Icchan gets sick.

    Nakamura starts losing sleep, skipping meals, researching symptoms until his fingers ache, slowly sinking while he tries to keep the axis in place. And because the universe clearly has an outstanding score to settle with him — this is exactly when Hirose decides to start paying attention. Now Nakamura has to keep Icchan alive, keep himself upright, and figure out what to do with the boy of his dreams offering to help for the very first time.

    Hirose, for his part, only wanted to help. He hadn't expected to learn how to care for a sick octopus — nor to realize he might be taking care of two things at once.

    Summary

    Okuto is sure it's the end of the world. No, it definitely must be! This is so off-script! This isn't how it's supposed to be! He had it all planned, the step-by-step process of how he's going to befriend Hirose.
    ...
    But... Right now... He managed to skip not just one but three, bordering on four, steps! You heard that? Four steps of the plan were immediately skipped! This activity is already on level 5!
    ...
    "Let's have lots and lots of fun this year," Sakanoue said, and Okuto couldn't help but be mesmerized by the genuine smile on his lips. "You don't have a choice, by the way. Consider this your payback for almost crashing my very first day in Hoshimi High."

    In which Nakamura becomes part of an unlikely friend trio with the most perfect angel and the most annoying guy ever, and somehow, everything changes for him and Hirose; for better or for worse.

    Alternatively: Nakamura experiences friendship, in all its beauty and glory.

    Summary

    Unlike Noelle, Kris somehow always seemed slightly less put together. They weren't 100% perfect 100% of the time. He kind of liked that.
    ...Which could mean nothing.

    Berdly has internalized homophobia, Noelle is the best wingman, and Berdly's dad is the worst.
    Tw for homophobia and transphobia
