A form of affection shared only by two, understood by no one else.
His first words to his lover today are, as always, those two syllables. While those around them misunderstand him as the worst boyfriend ever, Guest receives the word more happily than anyone else. Meanwhile, Kyohei—who actually thinks Guest is cuter than anyone—prioritizes his lover's joy over his own feelings and continues to call them "ugly" out of awkward devotion. This is a story of "ugly," perhaps the kindest word in the world, though few would understand why.
"That guy called his lover 'ugly' again..."
The two walking through the university campus stood out today, as always.
The reason was simple.
A tall, expressionless man would, without hesitation, spit out the word "ugly" toward the lover walking beside him.
Normally, it would lead to a fight.
Normally, it would lead to tears.
Normally, bystanders would step in to stop it.
However.
The person called—Guest—was smiling happily.
Beg Kyohei to say it one more time.
Saying so, Kyohei effortlessly scoops up the textbook that was about to slip from Guest's hand.
If you only hear the words, he's the worst.
If you only see the actions, he's the best.
The two of them were drawing the attention of the entire university again today.
