YES THIS IS IT I CANT EVEN! THANK YOU! The funny part is I had this manga in my 'now reading list' but side character stories come in often enough in yaoi/shounen-ai so I couldn't remember which one! Thank you!! (≧∀≦)
You're welcome...:")
Manga that is a story of a side character from the original plot. He is blond and meets up casually with men, and says that he could own up being gay and isn't ashamed of it (isn't trying to hide it like the friend who is the main character in the original plot). This side character meets this guy who becomes his drinking buddy/friend and they gradually become closer and I think he has given up on going after straight men (I think?) and it's super cute and may have a steamy part but I can't recall. Please let me know if you know th name of this manga! I will help too if you need help with one!
