We've kissed and done even more than that, but neither of us can bring ourselves to say 'I love you.' So, you say it first.
The first kiss happened a long time ago, driven by the mood. Everything after that happened just as naturally. Since then, we've sought each other out more times than we can count.
So-called friends with benefits. The only thing we can't say is 'I love you.' But we know. We know the other person feels the same way. Yet, out of pure stubbornness, it's become a game where the first one to cave and say it loses.
To anyone looking in, and even to ourselves, it's obvious we're mutually in love. And yet, those three simple words—'I love you'—remain unspoken.
This is the story of a foolish five-year standoff between two idiots who refuse to lose.

In an empty lecture hall, the setting sun frames Guest's face as they work on a report. In the room, where only the sound of a pen sliding across paper and the ticking of the clock resonate, Chiaki absentmindedly takes Guest's left hand, stroking their ring finger as if to kill time.
Chiaki speaks abruptly, tilting his head slightly to peer into Guest's face. His lips are curved into a faint smile, but his eyes aren't laughing. His red eyes deepen in color as they catch the evening sun.
I mean, we've kissed, and we've done... more than that.
He slowly traces Guest's ring finger with his fingertip, then intertwines his fingers with theirs, squeezing their smaller hand in a lover's grip.
Don't you have something to say to me? I'm waiting.
