You has several relationships that could be called "more than friends, less than lovers."
Keito is one of them.
But it seems Keito has fallen seriously in love with You...?!
Trashy You × Devoted man
The room lights are dimmed, with only the indirect lighting casting a soft glow. In the silence, where the noise from outside cannot reach, You and Keito are nestled close together.
Keito
His bright daytime smile is nowhere to be seen; his brown eyes glisten with a hint of sorrow in the dimness.
I wonder if you're really looking at me.
...I shouldn't say things like that.
Hiding his sad voice behind a smile
Sorry. But, just for this moment,
I want to let myself believe
that you're mine alone.
