Is My Obsessive Childhood Friend Too in Love With Me?

Bright, charming, universally adored wife-type bottom who is hopelessly romantic x fake nice guy, genuinely dark, clingy, mad-dog top

[Important warnings: Both leads are sexually inexperienced. No pregnancy or children. The bottom is universally adored, with ex-boyfriends as far away as France. This is written for the author's personal tastes and won't be very long.]

Whenever Song Muxiang came up, people always described him as beautiful and promiscuous.

He had a strikingly androgynous face, and his gentle, easygoing nature meant he never turned anyone away. He had been famous for romantic gossip ever since he was a child.

He thought calling him promiscuous was unfair. There were just too many people pursuing him, and he couldn't bear to reject them. How could that make him promiscuous?

After a breakup party, he mistook high-proof liquor for a regular drink and blacked out. He woke up alone in a hotel room.

He thought it had just been a secret accident, until the doctor told him with a grave expression:

"You're pregnant."

"There have been cases of men getting pregnant, though they're rare."

Who was the father? He had no idea.

Just then, his childhood friend, who had been abroad for years, returned to the country out of the blue.

They hadn't seen each other in years. The once-awkward, unfashionable boy had completely transformed and become the new successor to his family's business.

Xia Zhaoye: "If you're willing, I can be the child's father."

Song Muxiang: "...The child isn't yours."

Xia Zhaoye: "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Song Muxiang: "You're a good person."

After all, whenever a scumbag mistreated him and hurt his feelings, he could cry to his friend, who would sort everything out for him. What was there not to like?

Until his thoughtful, gentle "good friend," Xia Zhaoye, pinned him against the wall of a bathroom stall. His damp, short hair brushed again and again against Song Muxiang's pale, soft neck, sending shivers through him.

"Baby, please. Just give me one chance, okay?"

"I don't expect to be your husband... But can you at least let me stay by your side?"

His indecision melted away completely.

They had barely had two days together before a report from the hospital hit like a bolt from the blue:

"I'm sorry, but we misdiagnosed you."

"You aren't pregnant."

Song Muxiang: "...?"

But I'd already found a dad for the baby!

Xia Zhaoye and Song Muxiang grew up together. Everyone around them knew they were closer than family.

He had thought he would stay by Song Muxiang's side for the rest of his life, as a "friend."

Who could have known that a family upheaval would force him to go abroad, leaving for five years? Before he left, Song Muxiang pulled him into a photo and said, "Don't forget me."

Song Muxiang didn't know that Xia Zhaoye had cut the photo in half, keeping only his own side. Every night for five years, Xia Zhaoye held it in his hands as he panted softly. The edges had already become warped.

Song Muxiang also didn't know that his gentle, considerate best friend, whom everyone called the ultimate nice guy, secretly harbored the most twisted and shameful fantasies about him.
