Kocchi Muite Waratte Dj - Switch!
they didn't actually switch. The title implies that they would switch positions and that dark haired guy would be on top like he wanted to be, but it ends up being the same. Anyways, still a cute side story. Added to re-reads. Write more than this
On the Veranda
I wish there was more of it. A man sees a ghost of a guy on his veranda. He smokes while the ghost drinks. The guy swears that he recognizes the ghost guy from somewhere. He realizes that the guy is his coworker. He sees the guy on the veranda every night. At work he hears the guy tell his coworkers that his girlfriend left him to marry someone else. He sees the ghost of the guy looking at his phone and crying that night. Another night he sees him jacking off and he does too. When the ghost starts to not come around anymore, he starts to realize that he misses him and that he seems to like the guy. It was very interesting and cute. I would have loved to see the characters get together, rather then be left with the idea and assumption that they do.
Toritome no Nai Koi no Shi
Umm hello? This is SO CUTE. The story uses metaphors is a literal way to show what the character is feeling. He wakes up with a hole in his chest, but it's a literal hole. He asks a friend about it and looks up what it means. It mentions sadness and loss. He thinks back to his long time friend and him drinking last night. He recalls his friend telling him that he is married. He thinks he feels sad because even though he has known him for some long and they go out drinking often, he never mentioned anything about his love life. His friend shows up at his door step. When he sees him he starts to feel pain. The hole is growing bigger. They go inside and his friend is worried about the pain he is in. His friend wants to tell him something. He tells him that he is not actually married. He lied. He had this idea of saying something like that to see how he would react, because his friend has liked him for a long time. The guy starts to hear bells ringing. He tells his friend that he can hear them. He tells his friend to hug him and his friend goes in for a kiss. No more hole in his chest. This story was cute and clever. I enjoyed reading it.

Multiple short stories in this book. The one about the kid in the clubroom and the guy who bothers him. Another about sex friends that date other people but cheat together. Another one I have read before with rape play. And some more about the story with the twins. A guy who gets stuck with a long haired guy on an elevator.
