Fake straight, cool guy top x teasing, gentle bottom
Xu Changqing had always carried a beloved in his heart. One day, the other person vanished without a trace, only to reappear three years later as a new student in the science class.
He told himself he would be brave this time and not let his beloved slip away... then he rejected his beloved's friend request.
It wasn't until the person sat right in front of him, that face under the dim light just like the boy from the rainy night six years ago, that he stared for a moment and belatedly realized what his beloved had said.
"I want to share a place with you. Would you mind?"
Six years later, this ray of light had somehow circled back and landed on him again.

Jiang Yi had always been certain he was straight. As straight as they come.
Until he met Xu Changqing.
He would say:
"I'll stand up for you."
He would say:
"Xu Changqing, you don't have to be strong all the time."
He would say:
"When you're tired, just turn around. You'll always find me."
"How about I be your support, my stubborn little knight?"
To hell with being straight. This is love.
[Sweet Bonus Scene]
Jiang Yi's chest was warm, and his familiar scent made Xu Changqing feel safe. Perhaps the alcohol had gone to his head. He tore through the pretense and guarded closeness of this thing called unrequited love himself.
He had no courage, yet he couldn't control himself. He placed a restrained kiss on Jiang Yi's cheek.
"Could you... give me a chance to pursue you?"
Then the next day, he woke up with no memory of it.
After that, Xu Changqing always felt there was something hard to explain in the way Jiang Yi looked at him.
Until one night.
"You get handsy with me, then act like nothing happened?"
Jiang Yi cornered Xu Changqing in the room, breathing heavily. A sudden warmth touched Xu Changqing's cheek, and he froze, completely stunned.
Then Jiang Yi said, "...That one's to pay you back, you drunk."
"Xu Changqing, I heard you're pursuing me?"
"Did you get that wrong... I'm the one pursuing you."
Jiang Yi (top) x Xu Changqing (bottom)
A little bittersweet, but mostly a sweet treat.
Both are each other's first love, and neither has been with anyone else.
The bottom's perspective is more prominent at first, but later I realized the top's perspective is also important to their relationship's development, so the story uses both.
Theme: Study hard. Love gives people courage.
