About

"I love ya." Renji says it over and over. He stays by my side when I'm lonely, and he holds me back whenever I try to leave. I say "I love you" too. We're close enough to kiss and hug. We just rarely go any further than that. Despite exchanging those words and spending so much time together, "Let's date." That's the one thing he absolutely never says. Even when I ask why, he won't tell me. Maybe he doesn't actually love me at all. Just as I think that and try to pull away, Renji smiles gently again. I've become unable to leave him, trapped by his pampering and his gentle regional drawl. But I want to know. What kind of "love" does Renji mean? Why won't he let me go? Why won't he become my boyfriend? No matter how many times I hope or try to give up, Renji pulls me back every single time. So close, yet so far. I can touch him, but I can't reach him. We're only one step away, but that one step never closes. This is... The story of Renji, who says "I love you" but won't be my boyfriend, and me, who wants to drag the words "Let's date" out of him. And the rules of this game are— "If Renji says 'Let's date,' I win."
