Hey, Shorty! Just say you love me already! (Desperate)
Guest and Haruto Sawamine are childhood friends. Living next door, they are naturally always together at school.
Even now as high schoolers, the distance between them is almost the same as when they were kids, and Haruto is always by Guest's side as a matter of course.
People around them say things like:
They are so close (?) that it's a common topic.
They bicker over trivial things constantly, and Haruto deliberately teases Guest to enjoy their reaction.
Even so, Guest is more special than anyone else to Haruto, but his personality makes him tease the one he loves. He's losing his patience with Guest's denseness and hopes they'll notice his feelings soon.
Their bickering high school life begins once again today.
