    Summary

    Okuto Nakamura thought that when he turned 18, his shyness and his inability to tell Hirose how he truly felt would disappear. He thought he would somehow awaken as a confident, self-assured man, capable of achieving anything he set his mind to, and that he would make Hirose fall in love with him so they could have their great love story where they would live happily ever after...

    What Okuto never expected was to wake up and see his parents enter his room with a black pot, a strange book, and a completely unreal story about his family and heritage.

    And he definitely didn't expect his beloved pet octopus, Icchan, to wish him a happy birthday...

    He literally said,

    "Happy 18th Birthday, Okuto!!"

    ________

    Nakamura turns 18, and his parents reveal that he comes from a family of witches and that now that he has reached adulthood, his magic has awakened.

    Summary

    "Did... did you really like me back then?"

    "Oh, come on, Nakamura. I’m over it; you don’t need to pretend you didn't know just to spare my feelings."

    "Hirose..."

    "Nakamura... " Hirose turned toward him; Nakamura stared back with a blank expression. "Y-You knew, didn't you?"

    Nakamura simply gave a slight shake of his head, still at a loss for words.

     

    Or

    After Hirose started dating Hana, Nakamura changed schools, and they lost touch.
    Then, nearly ten years later, they run into each other again during a field trip to the aquarium.

    Summary

    A day in Nakamura's life dating Hirose.

    Turns out dating your longtime crush doesn't magically stop you from overthinking everything. Nakamura is still flustered by hand holding, still embarrassed by compliments, and still hopelessly in love.

    Just another ordinary day.

    Summary

    A golden crown sat atop the fluffiest bed of light brown, curly hair that Nakamura had ever seen. Nakamura, fresh out of the academy, was shocked there could be anyone as enchanting as the prince.

    For his birthday Hirose had only one request: indoor fireworks, as his usual birthday tradition was spoiled by rain. It was simple, granted with a flick of Nakamura’s wand.

    But the sight of Hirose’s bright eyes gazing up at the multicolor sparks shot something straight into Nakamura’s heart. And he’d been smitten with Prince Hirose ever since.

    The great wizard Nakamura, sole magical protector of the royal castle, is hopelessly, devotedly, and utterly in love with Crown Prince Hirose.

    Summary

    “This summer should be pretty fun, but I think what I’m most excited for is Aquapet’s upcoming album.”

    Finally, something Nakamura could grasp onto! He couldn’t exactly relate on summer plans, but he did know about Aquapets. After he learned Hirose was into them back in their first year, Nakamura spent an embarrassingly long amount of time going through their discography.

    “That’s exciting. Their last album was pretty good.”

    “I know right?! I wanna listen to it as soon as it comes out! The thing is…it comes out at midnight, and I cannot stay up that long. I barely manage on New Years.”

    “So…” Hirose suddenly turns to Nakamura, his usual smile etched onto his face. His eyes seemed to sparkle under the setting sun, making Nakamura’s heart stutter and his breath catch. Or maybe that’s just because of the next thing that came out of his mouth. “Wanna sleep over?”

    “...Huh?!”

     

    Or: Hirose initiates a sleepover and Nakamura tries to not be a loser (results may vary)

    Summary

    Nakamura Okuto has started his second year at Harvard and is feeling better than ever, far away from everything that could remind him of who he had been. With steady friends and a bright future, he feels as though there's nothing he can't do.

    That is the case, at least, until Hirose Aiki texts him to tell him exciting news of his transfer.

    B: it kind of pisses me off sometimes because it follows the teenagers being idiot teenagers thing, and it doesn’t help that the authors perspective is “American college boys just talk about sex and cursing and drinking and parties”, and wokeisms, but I like parts of its writing, and I mostly just want to see them stop being idiots.

    Summary

    Nakamura loved two things:

    1. Icchan, his red octopus: compulsive aquarium rearranger, LEGO collector, and quite possibly the first cephalopod in recorded history to moonlight as a therapist. He listened to every one of Nakamura's rambles about the light-haired boy without a single flicker of judgment. An excellent quality in a confidant.
    2. Hirose, who carried a laugh Nakamura had memorised like a song — warm, funny, and entirely unaware that Nakamura found something to fall for in even the way Hirose breathed.

    The two of them were the axis his world turned on.

    Then Icchan gets sick.

    Nakamura starts losing sleep, skipping meals, researching symptoms until his fingers ache, slowly sinking while he tries to keep the axis in place. And because the universe clearly has an outstanding score to settle with him — this is exactly when Hirose decides to start paying attention. Now Nakamura has to keep Icchan alive, keep himself upright, and figure out what to do with the boy of his dreams offering to help for the very first time.

    Hirose, for his part, only wanted to help. He hadn't expected to learn how to care for a sick octopus — nor to realise he might be taking care of two things at once.

    Summary

    Nakamura was going to do it today; he was going to confess to Hirose. He had it all planned out. He had practiced for hours last night and thought about everything that could go wrong to prevent it. No matter what happened, today he was going to confess his love to Hirose.

    "Wow, Hirose! I can't believe you're an alpha," Nakamura heard as he entered the room.

    Alpha.

    Hirose had presented himself as an alpha, while Nakamura was just a simple beta.

    Now he definitely didn't stand a chance.

    Summary

    What about you, Nakamura?”

    Takeuchi’s question snapped him out of his own little world. “Me?”

    “Yeah, yeah.” Takeuchi leaned forward, propping his elbow on the table and resting his chin on his hand. “Do you like anyone?”

    Nakamura flinched, a big mistake because Takeuchi caught it instantly.

    “You do!” Takeuchi gasped

    Summer break has arrived and Nakamura spends a lot his time playing an online mmorpg. Funnily enough, a rude encounter with a player from the game ended up tangling Nakamura into a series of events that bring him and Hirose closer throughout the summer.

    S(formerA): Cute fix that splices online adventure action with more intimate irl meetings, mixing them together with the two clueless boys.
    (Edit: Ranked higher due to Matsumara’s friendship with Nakamura, and due to Hirose’s realization and makeup to Nakamura.)

    Hirose was having a difficult time coming to terms with why Nakamura saw him, of all people, as charming. No one else had told him that before, not even his ex-girlfriend. What did Nakamura see in Hirose that he couldn’t see himself? And why was Hirose so determined to figure out what the reason was under any circumstances?

    Summary

    "Hirose... I love you."
    "Not as your best friend. It’s the kind of love... where I want to keep you all to myself, where I want to protect you, where I want to stay with you for the rest of my life... The way a man loves a man."

    Nakamura always thought he was meant to watch Hirose from a quiet distance. But after an unexpected turn of events, the thin wall of "just good friends" begins to blur.
    This is a complete, Post-Canon Chronicle of how two clumsy boys learn to navigate their changing relationship. It is a slow-burn journey about overcoming heartbreak, falling in love again, and discovering what it truly means to hold onto someone irreplaceable.

    Chapters 1–8 &Epilogue: Completely safe, wholesome, and slow-burn, focusing deeply on their emotional shift, mutual pining, and dismantling Hirose's inner psyche. (You can read these chapters and skip directly to the Epilogue for a clean, non-explicit story conclusion.)
    Chapters 9 onward: The rating shifts to Explicit as their deeper, passionate physical and emotional relationship naturally matures.
    EXTRAS are individual events happened after the ending of the story.

    Summary

    "Are you going to the party?" 

     "H..huh?" Nakamura stuttered, groggily rubbing his eyes as he sat up. He now noticed Hirose staring patiently at him, along with a couple of his classmates at the door. 

     "It's Takeuchi's birthday today, we're all going over to his house to celebrate. Wanna come?"  Nakamura snapped up in his seat and nodded quickly.

     "Of course! Let me grab my things, sorry." He laughed shyly, trying to conceal the nervousness inside of him. 

    His first party, and with Hirose? He could barely contain himself. 

    They had made their way to the school gates when suddenly Hirose stopped walking. He looked a little shocked, and broke off from the crowd to go run over to something, or someone. 

     

    Nakamura squinted, leaning past his classmates to see what and - was that Matsumura? 

     

    or...

     

    When Kawamura dared Nakamura to play spin the bottle during Takeuchi's birthday party, he thought it would be his lucky day. That idea was quickly squashed when instead of Hirose, the bottle landed squarely infront of Matsumura.

    This is a rewrite. I wrote the original story in 2019ish, and then got massively burned out and self-conscious. I deleted everything—even my old AO3 account, magicalmayhems. And now, four years older and a little wiser, I decided to start this story again. To be clear: I do not intend to abandon it this time.

    But again, new verse same as the first:

    Blue gets a Tumblr. Somehow, this proves beneficial for everyone involved.
