The first story is my favorite, but sadly, it was the shortest of the two. I was hoping to see more of those characters. This is why I'm rating it 4 stars. The first story was about childhood friends, a group of three, two guys one girl. The girl gets a boyfriend and then that leaves the other two on their own. The blonde guy liked the girl and he had thought that she liked him back. The two go out to eat and he starts crying after his friend asks "you liked her didn't you?" On their walk home, the dark haired guy tells the guy that he has sauce in his hair. He goes to get it out, but starts ruffling his hair, asking, "when are you going to realize?" The uke (blonde) asks "that i have sauce in my hair?" "When are you going to realize that I like you" and a train passes while he gives the uke a kiss on the cheek and it makes the uke blush. From there, the uke deals with his emotions, trying to figure out what he feels. After the confession, they continue as normal, until the seme says that he's waiting for an answer. This causes the uke to panic and he starts to avoid the seme. The uke leaves school early i believe, because he wants to avoid seme and avoid having to give him an answer. He runs under a playground hut when it starts to rain and lightning strikes. The seme finds him, telling him that he was worried. There, under the hut, the seme and uke express how they are feeling, the seme saying he likes him and the uke asking "why me?" When the seme tells him he likes him, the uke says "say that to a girl". The two kiss and the uke says that hes going to get hooked. I think that this happens after this, but the seme gets sick and the uke tries to tell the seme that he likes him for the first time, but his family comes home and interrupts. I think that is how the story concludes. The second one didnt interest me that much. The couple was already together and they are going through a fight. The one guys younger step brother helps them make up. I kind of skimmed this one after like the first chapter.
