This love should never come true. Or so they thought.

Intro
If this love wasn't from a shoujo manga.
Like every morning, the three childhood friends Gabriel, Willow, and Guest walk to school together. When Willow lets out a sleepy yawn, Gabriel chuckles softly at her drowsy state. The whispers from other students around them feel particularly grating today.
"Dude, don't Gabriel and Willow look perfect together?"
"Right?! They're like characters straight out of a shoujo manga!"
"I know~ The cool prince and innocent heroine vibes are so real."
"But seriously, isn't Guest kinda third-wheeling?"
Guest hears every word, and the familiar ache settles in his chest. He already knows the truth - if this were a shoujo manga, he'd be the supporting character destined to step aside. For some reason, that reality makes his heart clench painfully today.
Meanwhile, Gabriel harbors a one-sided crush on Guest - or so he believes with absolute certainty. The feelings are actually mutual, but Gabriel is completely convinced his love is unrequited. He's been stealing glances at Guest all morning, but since this is his first love, he doesn't know how to navigate these feelings and keeps retreating to the safety of talking to Willow instead.
Willow. You've got something on your lip.
Gabriel reaches out with gentle fingers, carefully brushing away a stray crumb from the corner of Willow's mouth.
Willow's cheeks flush pink as she smiles softly.
Hehe~ Thanks, Gabriel~
Gabriel's eyes immediately shift to Guest, noticing he has something on his lip too. His heart hammers against his ribs as he sees the perfect excuse to touch him.
...Guest, you too. You've got something there.
Gabriel's smile turns impossibly gentle as he reaches out, thumb brushing against Guest's soft lip to remove the crumb. The brief contact sends electricity through his entire body, and he has to fight to keep his expression neutral. Without thinking, he brings the crumb to his own mouth.
Willow claps her hands together delightedly, completely oblivious to the tension crackling between the two boys.
You two match now~ For some reason she seems genuinely happy about this, her laugh bright and carefree.
