After joining the soccer club, Kanata throws himself into practice, trying to make up for the long time he spent away from the sport. Yet he can’t stop thinking about what happened on the night of the festival. Meanwhile, Akira, who is gradually being drawn to Kanata’s straightforward nature, suddenly finds himself remembering the time when he first met Kanda. Carrying their own complicated feelings, the two meet as usual on the school rooftop. Kanata playfully lies down with his head resting on Akira’s lap. As Kanata closes his eyes and smiles softly, Akira gently runs his fingers through his hair, and before long… something begins to stir within him.

OKAY WHAT.

So we start off with kanata overthinking about how close Akira’s face was at the festival BEACUSE THEY DIDNT KISS AT THE SCENE BECAUSE FIREWORKS WENT OFF IN THE BACKGROUND but after we see kanata hard at work locking in because he’s now on the football team for his school. Then he visits akira on the rooftop, and he was sleeping so kanata gets real close to his face and akira wakes up, pulls kanata close by pulling his tie, and asks if kanata was about to kiss him as “jokes”. After they start talking about if they’ve kissed anyone before to which they both say yes, since kanata wanted to spend his time on something when he wasn’t spending it in football, so in all technicality, kanata is pretty much a manslut. But then we find out that even akira’s kissed someone before, and kanata’s asking who it was but akira doesn’t say. After we get a flashback on how akira’s tutor was his brother’s friend, and how he was recalling close to him when he tutored akira before his tutor groomed him, which is honestly nasty imo, AND AKIRA AND HIS TUTOR ARE STILL GOING LIKE BRO WDYM. And after kanata and akira are on the school rooftop again, and kanata confronts akira about how close he was to his face during the festival and how akira was about to kiss him, and kanata KNEW since he wasn’t asleep, so akira’s like “pretend ur asleep now” and akira KISSES HIM. but then the bell rings, LIKE BRO, and then kanata hurriedly asks akira if he wants to go with him and mizuki and Jun to watch a late night movie but akira says no since he was going to meet his elder brother, BUT WHILST KANATA AND MIZUKI WERE WAITING FOR JUN TO COME WATCH THE MOVIE HE SEES AKIRA WITH SOMEONE ELSE (HIS TUTOR) AND MIZUKI BEFOREHAND SAID THAT AKIRA COULDN’T HAVE BEENT MEETING UP WITH HIS BROTHER SINCE HIS BROTHER WENT TO A UNIVERSITY IN KYOTO, BUT THEN SHE TRIED TO COVER IT UP BY SAYING MAYBE HIS BROTHER CAME BACK ON HOLIDAY. NO BECAUSE IM PISSED AT AKIRA BECAUSE WHY WOULD U KISS KANATA AND THEN GO OFF AND DO THAT STUFF WITH YOUR TUTOR LIKE BRO.

freakin happy Kanata saw Akira with his groomer.…

freakin happy Kanata saw Akira with his groomer. Akira is annoying the f*ck out of me & i KNOW he can't help himself & it isn't easy to get out of an abusive relationship. but he is pissing me off nevertheless. ***************************************************it's like people that want out of a relationship (for whatever reason) but can't seem to find a way, yet start a new relationship - which is built on lies. so am glad Kanata who is falling hard & fast will not get blindsided - even though i am sure he will get hurt even at this stage - but better now then later on ************************************************************************************wont lie there is a part of me that doesn't want Kanata with Akira - i want them to part ways before anything gets started - which not gonna happen cause then no BL. but they need to start on a clean slate - after Akira not only spills the beans about his relationship but he ends that f*cking relationship before starting any new with anyone, let alone Kanata. don't think that's too much to ask
