→ sora loves both his seniors to bits, and of course his love for them is equal! but there are too many times that he sees tsumugi looking a little down after he gets berated by natsume, so he spends a little more time with him, trying to cheer him up. it’s not at all that he has a preference over them, sora swears on that.

→ tsumugi, in turn, adores sora too. having a junior that clings onto his every word gives his self-esteem little and well-needed boosts, and it makes him feel a little less old whenever sora chatters away to him about his day or whatever the latest gadget is. it’s a lot of fun being around sora, and he’s sure to give sora that assurance.

→ over time, tsumugi’s gentle kindness steps over the ‘very nice senpai’ boundary, and treads into ‘romantic interest’. sora can feel his voice become more garbled whenever tsumugi interacts with him, and ends up pushing away; ultimately, he knows this hurts him, and guiltily confesses his true feelings. tsumugi is beyond flattered, and they start to date.

→ sora loves physical affection, and his favourite thing to do is give his boyfriend hug attacks. this scares the living hell out of tsumugi when something small flings itself onto him, but he always catches sora, and cuddles him. they do have to limit these... impromptu sessions in unit practice, because the so-called third wheel gets a little jealous, and thereby cranky.

→ unlike sora, tsumugi doesn’t have his ears pierced, nor has the capacity or fixation to adorn cute earrings - in the first place, all his hair hides his ears, what’s the point? sora, however, finds that tsumugi looks extra-handsome with his earrings, and makes it a point to play around with some clip-on earrings. sometimes it’s like a dress-up session than a date.

→ not many students frequent the library anymore, which deeply saddens tsumugi, but at least once or twice a week he’ll see a shy blue-haired boy flipping through the pages of the library books, and even borrowing a few at a time. hajime is a good boy who returns his books on time, and so tsumugi is very happy to assist him, and make friends with him.

→ hajime hadn’t dared to go into the school library at first in case there were scary seniors inside, but the only member of the library committee was tsumugi, who is ever so friendly and helpful and gives amazing book recommendations. hajime starts dropping by the library more, and even offers to lend tsumugi a hand, just to see his senior more.

→ being with tsumugi makes hajime feel very safe and warm, which is why he ends up developing a teeny crush on him. tsumugi is the oblivious kind, so hajime doesn’t shy away from him, but he did forget that nazuna was in the same class as him, and that nazuna isn’t the best at keeping secrets; he’s pleasantly surprised when tsumugi asks him out.

→ both tsumugi and hajime hail from families that aren’t well off, and understand each others struggles far too well. thus, neither of them feel burdened by having to show the other with extravagant gifts, and find comfort in the small things like forehead kisses or reading a book with yellowed pages together.

→ and because they’re not well off, the two of them need a lot of luck to turn things around in their life! hajime isn’t as into fortune telling as tsumugi is, but likes to listen to tsumugi ramble on about how this potted plant gave his day ease. in fact, tsumugi does his best to find hajime’s daily lucky items so that he’ll always have God’s protection, whether tsumugi is by his side or not.

→ hajime isn’t the kind to go out of his way to make friends - especially people from other classes - but sora is! seeing him wandering around the sprawling halls in the first few weeks of school, lost, sora immediately lends him a hand, and finds a friend in the much shyer first-year, who is now eternally indebted to him.

→ sora is full of energy, and at times hajime can’t keep up. he makes a good listener, pouring tea for the two as sora chatters away about everything and nothing. when he worriedly brings up about him being too dull for sora, sora is indignant that this is not the case - “look at this, haji-chan’s tea is amazing!” hajime is even more worried when sora downs his hot tea in one go.

→ the more time he spends around sora, the more his heart flutters when he thinks of him, looks at him, is with him. hajime’s hands tremble a lot when sora’s near him, and then the teacup clatters and falls to the ground with a crash. hajime is in tears, apologising profusely and attempting to clean up his mess; sora stoops down and kisses his tears away.

→ sora loves sunbathing, and the moment he finds an open field, he runs off to lie in it and bask in the sunshine. hajime is anxious that he’ll be suntanned like a baked bean and then ra*bits would lose their innocent allure, but obliges, lying next to sora in the warm grass. in truth, he has nothing to fear, since sora seems to absorb all the sun’s rays and reflect them with an equally sunny smile.

→ with a family to care for, hajime is really busy, and spends his time cleaning, taking care of his siblings or working to get some extra cash. initially, sora is disappointed that he can’t spend as much time frolicking with his boyfriend, but it’s all good now! with an extra pair of, albeit inexperienced, hands to help wash and dry the clothes, the job is done quicker together, and sora gets to see hajime more too!

→ hajime’s voice is so very soothing, and sora sees soft pastel colours whenever he speaks. when sora himself is not feeling his best, he’ll play back the songs hajime has sung, voice mails he’s sent him, or the sounds of awe hajime makes when they play video games together. hajime is embarrassed to hear it, but also pleased that he can be of help to sora.
