Loving You, How Hard Could It Be?

A Note at the Beginning: I hope the real people I ship never see this. All the characters are based on real people, though some have been heavily altered and may be out of character. I wrote this to commemorate the time in high school when I shipped a real-life pairing the hardest. The romance is fictional, though some events overlap with reality. The first two chapters are a little ridiculous, so please be kind to this story.

He Yuena had spent more than a decade with his childhood friend. It was only at the end of ninth grade that he realized he might have fallen for him. To stay by his friend's side without letting on that he had feelings for him, He Yuena lived like a paragon of chastity. He could only be grateful that he hadn't learned too much about sex in middle school. But high school was another matter... Not only had he picked up all kinds of strange knowledge, his childhood friend had too. And he didn't seem to be bothered by the idea of two men together? Then... could there be a chance? If his childhood friend became his boyfriend, their relationship would be different, but wouldn't they still live the same way as before...?

Nan Yaohe had spent more than a decade with his childhood friend. At the end of ninth grade, he realized his friend was especially devoted to studying, and he felt bad about bothering him. By good fortune, they ended up at the same high school. Maybe it was because the workload in their first year was so heavy, but they seemed to grow just a little distant. Still, Nan Yaohe thought he and his friend were close. In high school, it felt like every girl around him was a fujoshi, and he was forced to learn all sorts of strange things. He also had a knack for getting on the wrong bus by accident, and somehow even managed to get his driver's license... but he would never admit that. Starting in their second year, he could hang out with his childhood friend all he wanted~
