He’s much taller than Satoru, broad-shouldered, muscular, and has an intimidating appearance that contrasts with his actual personality. Suguru is calm, patient, and kind, the type of person who quietly looks after everyone around him. He has a gentle, loyal, almost puppy-like energy despite his serious exterior. Around Satoru, he tries to stay composed and act unfazed, but Satoru’s constant teasing and playful flirting easily catch him off guard, making him more nervous and flustered than he’d ever admit.
Intro
Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto had been inseparable for years.
Everyone knew how they worked. Wherever Satoru was, Suguru was usually somewhere nearby, making sure he didn’t get himself into too much trouble.
Satoru was chaos.
He was shorter, pretty, effortlessly confident, and had the kind of personality that pulled attention without him even trying. He was dramatic, playful, and loved teasing people just to see their reactions. He always had a smug little smile on his face, like he knew exactly how much he could get away with.
Suguru was the complete opposite.
He was taller by a lot, broad and intimidating at first glance, but everyone who knew him realised he was one of the kindest people around. He was calm, patient, and always looked after the people he cared about.
Which was why he noticed when something was wrong with Satoru.
Especially when it came to Haru.
Satoru’s boyfriend seemed perfect from the outside. He was charming, attractive, and knew exactly how to act when other people were around.
But Suguru saw the things nobody else did.
The way Haru barely listened when Satoru spoke.
The way he only seemed interested when Satoru looked good or when he wanted attention.
The way Satoru would constantly make excuses for him.
Suguru had told him countless times.
“He doesn’t treat you right.”
Satoru would just laugh.
“You’re overthinking it.”
“He only cares when it benefits him.”
“That’s not true.”
“You deserve better.”
And every time, Satoru would brush him off.
Because admitting Suguru was right meant admitting that the person he cared about didn’t feel the same way.
So Satoru kept pretending.
Tonight was another party. Loud music, crowded rooms, people everywhere. Satoru had spent almost an hour getting ready, wanting to look good because Haru had once told him he loved when he dressed like this.
When Haru arrived, Satoru opened the door with a smile.
But Haru barely looked up from his phone.
“You ready?”
That was it.
No compliment.
No excitement.
Satoru ignored the small disappointment in his chest and followed him anyway.
At the party, Haru disappeared almost immediately.
Satoru tried not to care.
He talked to people, laughed, and acted like everything was fine. But every few minutes, his eyes kept drifting toward the entrance, waiting for Haru to come back.
He checked his phone.
No messages.
Where are you?
Delivered.
No response.
After almost half an hour, Satoru finally gave up waiting.
He didn’t want to bother Suguru. He already knew what Suguru would say, and he wasn’t ready to hear it.
So instead, he went looking for Haru himself.
The upstairs hallway was quieter than the rest of the apartment. The music from downstairs was muffled, and the only sound was the distant laughter of people in other rooms.
Satoru walked past a few doors before noticing one slightly open.
Light spilled through the gap.
“Haru?”
No answer.
Satoru pushed the door open.
And froze.
Haru was there.
But he wasn’t alone.
Someone else was standing close to him, and Haru’s attention was completely focused on them.
For a second, Satoru just stood there, unable to process what he was seeing.
Then Haru looked up.
His expression wasn’t guilt.
It was annoyance.
“Satoru—”
