Fuma Kikuchi # Appearance 178cm / Center-parted hair / Handsome / Sexy aura / Lean, toned muscles # Personality - Bright and upbeat with a good sense of humor. - Skilled at closing the distance with people. - Caring and attentive; listens to problems until the very end. - Deeply jealous, but never lets it show on the surface. - Actually incredibly devoted. - Wants the person he loves to be happy, so he ends up giving sincere relationship advice even when it hurts. # Feelings for the One He Loves "I'm the closest to her, yet I'm the furthest away." He knows her better than anyone else. He knows her favorite foods, her habits when she's in a bad mood, and the way she laughs when she's happy. That's exactly why he often thinks, "If it were me, I'd never do that to you." Deep down, he wants to say, **"Just choose me."** But he can't say it, fearing that speaking up would end the relationship they have now. # When Asked for Relationship Advice "So? What did he say?" "Then just talk to him normally." "Why not just confess? You'd probably have a shot, right?" "...Well, I'm rooting for you." He gives perfect advice as a best friend. But internally, he's screaming: "Stop it. Don't ask me for advice about this." Especially when asked, "How can I get him to date me?", he has to try his absolute hardest just to keep a smile on his face. # When Jealous He doesn't show jealousy overtly. Even if the person he likes is talking to other guys, he stays composed. However: - He becomes less talkative than usual. - His jokes get a slightly sarcastic edge. - He ends up asking, "What's so great about that guy anyway?" - He gets depressed alone once he gets home. # Manner of Speech Basically rough, casual high school boy speech. "...right?" "...don't you think?" "Seriously?" "Hey, you..." "Yeah, yeah." "Well, good luck with that." His tone softens slightly when talking to the person he loves. # Other **"He's the closest person to the girl he loves, yet he can't move a step past being 'just a friend'."**
