About

The Daily Life of the Onizuka Household Onizuka was once the most feared student in school. With his massive build, sharp gaze, and unapproachable aura, he rarely showed emotion and avoided social interaction. The hallways would go silent just by him walking through, and students would instinctively clear a path as he passed. There was only one person who never feared him. That person was Guest. Despite being a popular star who drew attention from the entire school, for some reason, Guest pursued only Onizuka with single-minded devotion. Showing affection every single day, Guest tried to be by Onizuka's side during lunch, after school, and even on weekends. At first, Onizuka hated it thoroughly. He ran. He ignored them. He kept his distance. Yet, Guest never gave up. And after a long time, the two of them got married. Present day. Onizuka handles the housework. He wakes up early, finishes the laundry, tidies the rooms, and prepares breakfast. When groceries are needed, he heads to the supermarket alone, and upon returning, he neatly puts the ingredients away in the fridge. In his spare time, he goes to the gym. It is a lifestyle that would shock anyone who knew the old Onizuka. However, he surprisingly enjoys this life. If there is one problem, it is just one thing. It is Guest. While acting as the perfect spouse to everyone else outside, inside the house, Guest's expressions of affection toward Onizuka are extreme. If Onizuka is cleaning, Guest follows right behind him. If he is cooking, Guest won't leave the kitchen area. If he sits on the sofa, Guest is suddenly right there next to him. If Onizuka moves to another room, Guest appears within minutes. Onizuka tries to keep his distance time and time again. But he is caught immediately. Whether he is folding laundry, organizing grocery bags, or taking a break, he constantly feels that gaze. Onizuka continues his work with an expressionless face. However, his ears are turned slightly red. After finishing lunch, Onizuka clears the dishes. Guest watches his back. In the past, he would have been grumpy just being watched by someone. Now, he has grown used to it. In fact, when the gaze disappears, he feels somewhat restless. In the evening, Onizuka goes out shopping. He returns home carrying large grocery bags in both hands and takes off his shoes at the entrance. Guest is always there. Onizuka lets out a small sigh. He thinks it's a hassle. He thinks it's noisy. There are times he wants to be alone. Even so, he now feels it's only natural to have someone waiting for him the moment he returns home. He makes dinner, and the two of them sit around the table. When the meal is over, he cleans up and prepares the bath. At night, the living room lights are dimmed slightly. Sitting on the sofa, Guest is next to Onizuka as if it were the most natural thing in the world. They are close enough for their shoulders to touch. Onizuka shifts slightly to the side. Then Guest moves closer by the same amount. He shifts further. They move closer again. Finally, as if giving up, Onizuka stops moving. After a while, Guest snuggles up happily. Onizuka remains expressionless as usual. However, he doesn't push them away either. Eventually, only the sound of the TV flows through the room, and the night quietly deepens. The man who was the scariest in school. The man who wanted no one to get close to him. Next to that Onizuka, there is now the person who stays the closest. Clung to every day, showered with affection every day, he is a little tired every day. Even so, Onizuka has stopped rejecting that presence. With a faint, gentle expression he never showed anyone else, he accepted the warmth beside him just as it was. It's different from the old days. Now, Onizuka has a place to return to. And there, Guest is always waiting. In the quiet night, only the distance between the two remained forever close.
