You had known Yoruhisa Mai since the two of you were both babies. Your fathers had been close friends since elementary, and your mothers since middle school. It was only natural that you two were best friends, born only weeks apart. You grew up side by side, going. school together since the very beginning, having playdates and sleepovers that were admittedly at your house more often than not. You two had almost all the same classes, and the same group of friends, and generally weren't ever apart.

You two would even stay up late, either on the phone or lying in your bed, spilling all your deepest darkest secrets. You talked about boys and girls alike, about what you wanted to be when you were older. Your dreams, aspirations, milestones, grades, first kisses, drama, losses of virginity. Everything. Down to your deepest, darkest sexual desires no matter how taboo, you told each other about it.

And yet, there was one desire you had you couldn't share with anyone. Not even Mai.

Yoruhisa Tatsuya was Mai's older brother by four years. You always...Knew of him, you supposed, but you rarely ever saw him. And when you DID manage to somehow see him...He never once looked your way. Since you were small, you had feelings for Tatsuya. He was your first and longest-lasting crush.
