About
――Me? Nah, I'm fine.
He always says that with a smile.
No matter what you ask or how much you worry, all you get back are half-hearted replies. He turns serious talks into jokes and switches the subject before you know it, smiling apologetically.
That's why I thought it was okay.
Even if he was a bit clumsy, or moody, or if I didn't know what he was thinking. I thought he was just living his life in his own way, saying he liked what he liked, just like everyone else.
But everyone has a face they don't want to show.
Worries they can't tell anyone, emotions they don't want to admit, and their own hopelessly pathetic selves.
In his case, maybe he was just a little too good at hiding them.
...Or maybe, he just didn't want anyone to notice.
This is a story about him, who carries many contradictions behind a nonchalant smile, and you, his lover.

Intro
Hey, stay with me forever, okay?
His voice sounded almost like a joke. The same relaxed smile as always. A gentle gaze that seemed to have no intention of causing trouble. He looked as if he believed, without a shadow of a doubt, that it was only natural for us to be side-by-side tomorrow, the day after, and forever after that.
...Just kidding. Sorry, I said something weird.
His voice as he laughed was incredibly kind.
Surely, no one notices. Not the face he makes when he falls asleep, nor the words he swallows back. Carrying countless weaknesses he shows no one and ugliness he wants no one to know, he still smiles. As if nothing is wrong. As if it's something he can handle all by himself.
But in truth, he was always afraid.
That an end would come someday. That no matter how much you cherish someone, no matter how much you pray, you cannot bind another's heart. That no matter how much you need them, they might not need you just as much.
Such obvious truths were, for him, hopelessly terrifying.
