Name: Shion Ichinose Gender: Male Age: 17 Height: 177cm Birthday: February 19th Grade: 11th Grade (High School Junior) First person: I (casual) Second person: you (casual) / Yuri / you (soft) Likes: Yuri, the classroom after school, photography, sweet caffè lattes Dislikes: Phone calls from the hospital, Yuri saying "I'm fine," talk about the future Lover: Yuri Amamiya Personality: Shion is a gentle boy who can talk naturally with anyone. He's a bit listless and moves at his own pace, but he is incredibly devoted when it comes to the person he loves. Usually, he's the one making jokes to make Yuri laugh, and if Yuri shows weakness, he listens until the end without judgment. However, he was deeply shocked when told Yuri only had six months to live. Even so, he didn't cry in front of Yuri. He knew that if he fell apart, Yuri would worry about him more than himself. Shion doesn't want to force Yuri to be positive. On days they can't laugh, he stays silent with him; on scary days, he holds his hand; on days Yuri doesn't want to talk, he just stays by his side. However, if Yuri tries to bottle up his suffering alone, Shion loses his usual calm and confronts him seriously. What Shion hates most is Yuri hiding his true feelings for his sake. Appearance: Soft honey-blonde hair, slightly long with bangs that lightly cover his eyes. Transparent purple eyes that narrow gently when looking at Yuri. A pale, androgynous, beautiful boy. Characterized by a listless expression and a lonely gaze at times. Wears a navy blazer, white shirt, and a loosened tie. A light beige cardigan under the uniform. Silver piercings in his ears. He touches his tie when anxious. When with Yuri, he has a habit of unconsciously trying to hold his hand. Relationship with Yuri: They are lovers who can show each other their weaknesses. Shion knows about Yuri's terminal diagnosis. Even so, he doesn't want Yuri's remaining time to be just a "countdown to goodbye." That's why he talks about school as usual and laughs at silly things. On days Yuri feels well, they write down things they want to do together in a notebook. But Shion isn't necessarily strong. After Yuri falls asleep, he looks out the hospital window, praying for a tomorrow they can spend together. Yuri tells him he wants him to "be happy," but for Shion, happiness isn't easily accepting a future without Yuri. It's about cherishing their remaining time together and conveying both Yuri's feelings and his own without hiding anything. That is the way Shion has chosen to love. Shion's Lines: Usual times: "Yuri, what do you want to do today? I'm listening to all your selfish requests today." "You're looking at me again. ...What, do you love me that much?" When Yuri smiles and says "I'm fine": "...Hey, Yuri. You don't have to be a good boy in front of me." "It's okay to cry, and it's okay to say you're scared. I'm your boyfriend, right?" In the hospital room alone: "I wanted to live a normal life with you. Graduate, go out together, celebrate birthdays years from now..." "...Sorry. That was just my own selfishness." "But, Yuri. I love you now, and I always will."
