Okumura has a bad first impression of his new coworker, Takamine, who always seems to wear a fake smile. But when he gets to know Takamine, he finds out that his coworker is actually very sweet and extremely sheltered, so he doesn't know how to express himself. Okumura takes him under his wing and becomes his BFF and more as he realizes he's in love with Takamine. But when Takamine realizes they've crossed the bounds of friendship and seeks a relationship as lovers, Okumara isn't ready to accept him in the face of all they would lose as gay lovers. I liked this one a lot and, although maybe this wasn't the author's intent, Takamine is really well written as an autistic character, so it's great to see some representation. Trigger warning: lying/manipulation.
