    Summary

    The heading at the top bore into him with its unfocused lettering: "5 Biggest Signs That You're In Love, According To Science".

    (Taka had picked out this article specifically, out of the dozens that showed up with his query, because of that last clause. If he could break this down into a science -- be able to put a name on each emotion and neatly organise them much like his study notes -- then this would be so much easier! Love was a solved concept apparently, and if he must discover such a thing via a printed out website from a machine that was running low on ink, well, that was how it had to be. The pursuit of knowledge was not an easy one.)

    Kiyotaka Ishimaru has never had a friend before, and much more than that, he's never been in love. So when he begins to notice changes in his behaviour towards his first and best friend, Mondo Owada, he's forced to come to terms with a lot of new information about himself...

    Summary

    There was a deep, uncomfortable silence after. At that moment, an epiphany bubbled into Teddie’s mind: Yu is dealing with both Nanako and Mr. Dojima, his caretaker, in the hospital, and is probably going through one of the toughest periods of his life. His human life. Guilt sluggishly seeped into his chest, realizing he’s been saying all these pointless things to someone who comes home to a desolate house each day.

    Teddie inattentively laughed, now moving to fidget with his golden bangs. He still smiled. “That’s a stupid thing to say, isn’t it? I really am talking nonsense… sorry.”

    And finally, Teddie met Yu’s eyes, and froze.

    _________________________________________________________

    Yu finds Teddie idly resting at the top of Yasogami High's roof, and they have a chat. They talk about a lot more than they originally expected to.

    Summary

    “If you think that would help me understand the appeal, then I’m willing to try. And it would certainly make me more at ease if my first kiss was you, bro. I trust you implicitly.”

    Yeah, but he was also a guy. And a friend. Guy friends didn’t tend to go around kissing their guy friends, even if it was for uh… ‘business’ instead of pleasure.

    But… if Taka was cool with it then…

    Mondo didn’t exactly hate the idea.

    In which Taka does not understand kissing, and Mondo offers him a helping hand.

    Summary

    Kiyotaka taught himself not to care. It's not as if he thought about touching people every second of every day, or fixated how long it had been since he received a hug. He learned to not give it a second thought, and cope with the full body ache coming from his chest. He told himself he didn't need to touch others, that he didn't like touch, and it worked.

    Almost.
