Summary
Saying I can’t concentrate would be an understatement.
I’ve been staring at the same math problem for who knows how long, the numbers blurring together until they stop meaning anything. My pencil hasn’t moved in minutes. Instead, my eyes keep drifting, again and again, back to Hirano, sitting across the table like he isn’t the entire reason my brain has shut down.
A few weeks ago, he said he wanted to return my feelings. Ever since then, everything's been... unclear.
Does that mean we're dating?
Because right now, I honestly have no idea. And it's slowly driving me insane.

Summary
Still, going back to his apartment wasn't exactly something he looked forward to, either. Having his own place should, in theory, be exciting and fun. Sleeping whenever he wanted, eating whatever he wanted, doing late night trips to the convenience store without worrying about curfew… You know, experience the freedom and independence of “adulthood” for the first time or whatever.
The reality was far bleaker than he'd imagined. Sleep happened whenever he could squeeze it in, meals were whatever was quickest between classes and assignments, and convenience store runs usually meant grabbing an energy drink before another all-nighter. The apartment never felt quite right when he was by himself. No matter how much time he spent there, it remained a place where he slept and studied rather than somewhere he belonged. Every night, he unlocked the door to the same stillness waiting on the other side.
Of course, everything felt different when Kagi was around.

Summary
"What are you doing here?" Hirano asked, his voice even raspier than he'd expected.
Kagi blinked, as though the answer were obvious.
"What do you think I'm doing here?"
He crossed the room in a few quick steps before sitting on the edge of the bed. Gently, he cupped Hirano's face in both hands, his palms cool against Hirano's warm cheeks, and pressed a soft kiss to his forehead.
"I'm taking care of you, duh."
OR
Hirano gets sick and Kagi heals him with cuteness and fluff.

Summary
Hirano had spent half an hour taming every stubborn strand of hair until not one dared stick out. Before that, he'd lost an entire afternoon deciding which blazer looked the most appropriate. And before that...
Well, he'd spent the entire week worrying about today.
What was so important about today, you ask?
Today was Kagiura's high school graduation.
More importantly, today was the day Hirano would officially meet Kagiura's parents as their son's boyfriend.

Summary
Kagi looked over at Hirano and studied him for a moment.
His usually bright yellow hair had darkened to honey after his shower, falling damp and messy around his face. The oversized white shirt hung loose on his frame, the neckline slipping off one shoulder to expose the pale curve where his neck met his collarbone. Water still clung to the ends of his hair, leaving small dark spots on the fabric as they dripped off. The clean scent of shampoo mixed with something distinctly Hirano, and Kagi found himself breathing it in as he moved closer.
Hirano's pupils dilated slightly. His lips parted as if to speak, but no words came out immediately.
"What?" he finally managed, his voice quieter than before.
Kagi let his gaze drop deliberately to where the shirt had slipped off Hirano's shoulder, then back up to meet his eyes. The air between them felt thick, charged with possibility.
"I can think of a way to spend the rest of the evening," Kagi said, his voice dropping lower.
