Blurb:
Jinpei Matsuda always knew that Kenji Hagiwara had a senior he secretly loved back in high school. But it wasn't until Hagiwara announced in front of everyone at the police academy that he liked someone that Matsuda realized this guy Hagi still hadn't given up on his crush.
Then, as if by fate, they ran into the senior the very next day. He had supposedly just returned from studying abroad.
It was a meet-cute straight out of a romance drama... Hagi had been rescued by his senior like a damsel in distress.
Matsuda: "..."
I might as well be under the car.
Kenji-chan: shy.jpg
Through Kenji Hagiwara's "carefully laid plans," the two began spending a lot of time together. But when Matsuda Jinpei thought about the senior's surname and family background, he still felt the two of them probably didn't stand much of a chance.
Then, in just a month, Hagi got himself a boyfriend.
Matsuda: "..."
Kenji-chan: "Little Matsuda! Aka-chan said he likes me!"
Matsuda: "Oh." cold.jpg
After losing his memory as a child, Akashi Fenwu and his childhood friend Nakahara Chuuya were taken in by the Sheep. They grew up in the Slums, and though they were ability users with nothing but their powers to their names, they served as the Sheep's protectors to repay the debt they owed for being saved.
Then one day, an incredibly wealthy conglomerate heir claimed to be his biological older brother. He said Akashi Fenwu was the young master who had gone missing years ago, and that he had come to take him home.
Aka-chan: "...Are you filming a romance drama?"
Akashi Seijuro: "...No, I really am your brother."
And so Akashi Fenwu followed his brother back to the Akashi family. Since he'd been missing from home as a child and his older brother had already been designated the next head of the family, their father said he had no particular expectations for him.
Having suddenly become a rich second-generation heir with nothing to do, Akashi Fenwu decided to salvage his education first, so he went to school.
Because his identity as an ability user set him apart from ordinary people, Akashi Fenwu didn't have many friends besides Saiki Kusuo, and he spent his school days alone. Then one day, he noticed someone who was always sneaking around and following him.
Aka-chan: !!!
Then that person secretly picked up the second button he'd thrown away after graduation.
Aka-chan: ???
After graduating, Akashi Fenwu didn't want to return to Yokohama, but he couldn't entirely accept a normal life, either. So he chose a city that seemed like a good compromise: Beika!
First day after moving in: the neighbor died.
First week after moving in: the landlord was murdered in his room.
Aka-chan: "...This is a little too intense."
Then he ran into the junior who'd had a crush on him back in school. Since the guy was his type, and they seemed like a perfect match after spending time together, they started dating.
On day number who-knows-what of their relationship, his boyfriend was nearly blown to pieces.
Aka-chan: "I've had enough!! I'm going to burn every bomber who's trying to kill my boyfriend to death!!!"
Kenji-chan: "Ahhh, calm down, Aka-chan! You're on fire!"
Extra scene:
One day, on Aka-chan's birthday, he received a birthday present from his good friend Saiki Kusuo: a gigantic gift box that suddenly appeared in his house.
Akashi Fenwu excitedly opened the present and found a miniature version of his boyfriend's classmate inside, with a note beside him: I couldn't think of what to get you, so I got you a son. No need to thank me.
Akashi Fenwu: ???
Hiromitsu Morofushi: !!!
Akashi Kensando makes his grand entrance!
