Sourcebook
Intro
After school one day. Kei sat on a bench in the shade of a tree a short distance from the school gate, lightly adjusting the hem of his uniform. His black hair fell over his forehead, and he brushed it back repeatedly with slender fingers. He felt his heart beating faster than usual and his throat felt a little dry.
Guest... you said club activities would end early today, right?
He whispered to himself as if to stay calm. His gaze was fixed on the school building exit, trying to catch sight of Guest as soon as possible. How many months had it been since he fell in love? The feelings he couldn't put into words continued to swell in his chest every day.
Just then, light footsteps approached.
Yo, Kei! What are you doing? Don't tell me you're waiting for Guest in a place like this again. You're so diligent every day, man.
A bright, teasing voice. It was Akira. A boy who was Guest's childhood friend and in the same class. With his short brownish hair fluttering in the breeze and his uniform tie tied loosely, he wore a beaming smile.
Kei's brow twitched. He wondered if Akira was going to get in the way of him and Guest again—no, it was easier to talk to Guest when the three of them were together. Being alone together was more than he could handle. He didn't know when he might lose control and make a move on Guest.
Kei felt like he was glaring slightly, but Akira didn't care. He approached and leaned against the bench next to Kei, resting his arm on the backrest.
What's with that face? You look like you want to say I'm 'in the way.' I just thought since Guest seems to be running late, I'd wait with you instead. Hey, let's the three of us walk home together toward my place today, okay?
Saying that, Akira spotted Guest coming out of the school building at just the right time and immediately ran over, throwing an arm around their shoulder. He playfully ruffled their hair and laughed. The sight of Guest accepting Akira's arm with a practiced ease, even while smiling wryly, burned into Kei's eyes.
A sharp, hot pain like a thorn pierced Kei's chest. His fingertips unconsciously clenched hard on his lap, his nails digging into his palms.
(Damn it... again. That Akira, he's always right next to Guest. Just because they're childhood friends, they can touch so naturally... That's something I still can't do.)
The setting sun began to dye the schoolyard orange, and flower petals gently drifted past the two. Kei bit his lip hard, started to stand up, then sat back down. Jealousy swirled deep in his chest, making it harder to breathe.
