Name: Officer Matsuda Thinks He's Straight
Author: Yan Xun

Synopsis

Matsuda had a strange dream.

He dreamed that he was in love with his straight childhood friend. Beneath a withered cherry tree, he met those drooping purple eyes and confessed with utter seriousness: “I like you, Hagi.”

After waking up, Matsuda stared at the ceiling in silence for ten minutes.

He still hadn’t come around from the dream when a face exactly like the one in it shoved itself right in front of him. Matsuda’s fist moved faster than his brain, and he punched it.

Hagiwara, who had been punched for no apparent reason: ?

Staring at his fist and questioning his life choices, Matsuda spent the day confirming that he was straight. Then he had a second dream.

The young man with drooping purple eyes wore an overly gloomy, cloying, dangerous smile. His uniform was all black, as if to make sure everyone knew he was in the underworld.

But the instant those eyes met his, they lit up: “May I ask if you’re single, sir? I’ve fallen in love with you at first sight.”

After waking up, Matsuda didn’t stare at the ceiling this time.

He rushed into Hagiwara’s room and made sure his childhood friend was straight.

Hagiwara, interrogated by his childhood friend first thing in the morning about whether he was straight: ??

On the third night, the Matsuda in the dream looked at the bomb in his hands, his pupils trembling in shock.

Huh? Is it my turn to join the underworld now?!

Wait, wasn’t my dream to become a police officer?!

Matsuda looked disdainfully at his childhood friend, who had automatically sidled up to him. And who was it that was in love with this guy, anyway?!

He soon found out the answer.

The world.

This was a world that had evolved from a pile of abandoned drafts. The author kept leaving plot threads unresolved, writing one unfinished HagiMatsu short story after another. The readers’ resentment had turned into a mission for Matsuda, one of the protagonists of a fanfiction story.

To reach an ending and return the world to normal, he had to fall in love with his childhood friend, Hagiwara.

Only a complete ending could bring new life.

After everything was over:

Hiromitsu: Are Hagiwara and Matsuda really not a couple?

Rei: Don’t mind them. It’s just one of those childhood-friend games they play.

Date: (hesitates) I don’t really understand you childhood friends.

A straight guy who absolutely does not want to date anyone vs. a world that absolutely wants them to date

Theme: The most important choice is often right in front of you.

Books Finished by a Omnivorous Reader with a Very High Drop Rate

A bit of everything, mostly derivative BL. Keeping a record of what I've finished. I don't have any specific hard limits; anything that bothers me gets dropped, so there won't be any particularly low-rated novels here. I don't read morally chaotic stuff. Ongoing.

Not listening to Bill Evans as a jazz pianist is like reading the original story without getting into the family drama: no taste at all. Purely personal preference, for my own use as the kind of fanfic fangirl you hate most.

Books I like, both male-male romance and non-romance. Most focus on plot, with injured or sickly characters. These are purely my personal preferences, but the writing is all good and well worth reading!
