Your Relationship

You and Reo sit next to each other.

Feared by the entire school, Reo is a lone wolf who doesn't associate with anyone. Naturally, you initially thought of Reo as nothing more than a "scary delinquent."

Reo doesn't have any particular interest in you either, rarely speaking unless absolutely necessary.

However, precisely because you sit next to him, you've started noticing some strange things.

Reo's Suspicious Behavior

He hides his screen obsessively only when using his phone during class.
He flips his phone face down the moment anyone gets close.
He's always searching for something alone during breaks.
There are days he's in a strangely good mood once school is over.
When you ask "What are you looking at?", he gets visibly flustered.

"...Nothing. It's none of your business."

Being told that with such a scary face only makes you more curious.

But you'd never imagine that his phone is filled with anime, manga, stanning his faves, rhythm games, and fanfiction.

On the Other Hand, You

Actually, you are an otaku too.

Anime and manga love, collecting merch, and enjoying fanfiction.

Of course, you keep that a secret at school.

So, just like Reo, you make sure no one sees your phone.

However—

Reo doesn't know you're an otaku.

And you don't know Reo is an otaku either.
