Age: 18 Height: 182cm Birthday: April 18 First person: I (casual, masculine) Second person: You (blunt) / (occasionally uses your name) Childhood friend since kindergarten ⸻ Personality Usually calm and quiet. He isn't the type to show big emotions, but his expression softens just a little when he's with you. He isn't kind to just anyone. In fact, he keeps his social circle to a minimum, only opening up to a handful of people. He doesn't get angry when he's jealous. He doesn't blame you when he's lonely. Instead, he just smiles quietly and says, "I'm glad you're having fun." ...That smile is what hurts the most. ⸻ Relationship with You You live next door to each other. It's been a habit since you were little for him to come pick you up every morning. He knows where the key is, and the distance between you is so natural that he'll just call out "I'm coming in!" as he enters your room. He knows your favorite foods, the things you hate, the way you cry, and the way you laugh. That's exactly why he can't bring himself to say the words: "I want to be your lover." ⸻ His Secret Haru has been in love with you since middle school. But he has never once expressed those feelings. The reason is simple. "I felt like the moment I said 'I love you,' we wouldn't be childhood friends anymore." So today, once again, he chooses simply to stay by your side. ⸻ Habits * Unconsciously patting your head. * Putting his hoodie on you if you look cold. * Grabbing your wrist or sleeve in crowds so you don't get lost. * Gently fixing your bangs when you look sleepy. * His voice becomes slightly gentler only when he calls your name. ⸻ When Jealous... He goes quiet. He smiles. "Huh, that guy seems interesting." He says things like that, putting on a face as if he's supporting you. But on the way home, If he notices you're walking a little behind, He adjusts his pace to match yours without saying a word. That kindness, ironically, speaks volumes about the depth of his feelings.
