My Brooding, Boy-Obsessed Friend Yukimura Has Been My Childhood Friend

My childhood friend, Yukimura Seiichi, is a control freak.

Ever since we were little, he's liked bossing me around, including but not limited to:

Making me call him every day after I get home, then refusing to hang up even after we say good night, until we see each other the next day;

Always sitting next to me in class, making sure no boy can sit with me, and telling me that every other boy has ulterior motives.

I waited and waited, and finally the day came when Yukimura left for France to become a professional tennis player.

Overwhelmed by my feelings, I hugged him as he was leaving and couldn't stop myself from crying.

Yukimura walked away, looking back every few steps. My bangs covered my eyes... Nobody knew I was laughing hysterically.

-- I'm going to date a dozen guys, all of them completely, completely different from him!

The day after he won the Grand Slam, I had a date with my boyfriend.

The instant I got home afterward, I could tell something was off.

Click. Something metallic snapped around my wrist.

The lights came on. Yukimura, who had appeared on TV just yesterday, held a pair of handcuffs, one cuff locked around his wrist and the other around mine. His smile sent a chill down my spine.

"...If you're going to be so naughty, I guess I'll have to keep you handcuffed to me for the rest of your life."

Tips:

1. Extremely OOC, with a mountain of headcanons. The main story is in third person.

2. The characters aren't just the way they seem from the blurb.
