Geto-Kun Refuses to Become a Love Fool

When he was twelve, Geto made an unlikely older friend.

The man always sat on the bench outside the school gate, waiting for him to finish class and waiting for school to let out.

He was a bit of a fool, but day after day, no matter the weather, he was always there.

At first, Geto was just curious about why the middle-aged man had gone prematurely gray, with a head of white hair in his early forties.

Then he began asking about the man's meals and where he lived. He invited him to his house, bragged about being top of his grade again, and shared his worries and interests.

Then, one day, he pulled a pink love letter out in front of the man.

The usually taciturn man spoke up for once, and he was clearly in a bad mood.

Man: "Are you going to answer this letter?"

Are you going to say yes to this girl?

Geto: "Of course! This is a girl's heartfelt confession! I can't let her down."

He had to turn her down properly. Otherwise, he'd be irresponsible.

The man was silent for a long time. After that, he never appeared there again.

Not once.

This time, Geto became the one sitting on the bench, foolishly waiting day after day.

Gojo had known for a long time that somewhere in this world there was someone perfectly suited to him.

That person would be his best friend, his soulmate, his beloved, his one and only.

But he searched the entire country and couldn't find anyone who seemed to fit.

The Six Eyes had never had long lives. He almost believed he would spend his whole life alone

Until a vivid, brilliant splash of color forcefully burst into his life.

The young man's body pressed close to his. His soft lips, wet with tears and blood, finally kissed his trembling eyeball.

He heard the boy cry out to him, "Don't leave me!"

He froze for a moment, then lied.

"Okay."
