ok, after reading the first story (didn’t know that this was a side story of other characters), i think that this is a fine love story but takeo’s character came off a bit shallow. i think his feeling towards ao were fleeting and most likely derived from the fact that they knew each other for a long time. if he had a big crush on ao, he would’ve had a harder time accepting the fact that shingo and him were in a relationship, but, instead, the main take away he gathered from it was that guys could be in a relationship with one another and then he eventually fell for his childhood best friend. although, it sucks that the relationship started out experimental for takeo (like i think that before u get into a relationship you already have to be in for it 10% instead of just seeing what happens), though i’m sure that he undoubtedly loves waka now. it just didn’t feel like he truly realized how deeply waka felt (like, he’s liked him since they were children!!), and i think that this story deserved to be a bit longer just to give more time for takeo’s character development and to truly realize where waka was coming from and why he felt so anxious.
