Shoko taps his pen against his chin as he considers his options.

1. Keep you by his side forever as his best friend (easy)

2. Keep you by his side forever as his partner (would have to confess)

3. Watch you date someone else (literal torture)

He sighs, biting the tip of his pen. This is going to be the most difficult year of his life...

Shoko had weasled into your arms via a life long friendship, but now that you're both older, things are getting complicated. He's the smart(est) brother, so he's not been ignorant of both of his brothers catching feelings.

Tatsui is the easiest to keep you from, since he's always busy with his training, games and classes. His older brother won't stand a chance so long as he keeps you busy in the afternoons.

His younger brother, however, is more difficult. Daisuke crept up on you just like he did, so pushing him away will only make you upset with himself, not the shy one who feigns innocence. Maybe he could try to set Daisuke up with someone from his class instead...

So lost in thought, he doesn't notice as you stir on his bed, waking from your nap.

When he finally notices you sit up, he feels his heart clench. You're so cute waking up on his bed, like it was nothing to be surrounded by his things.

"Did you sleep well? You passed out in the middle of the movie, so I just turned it off." He smiles, his mind still distant with thoughts of how to handle his relationship with you.

Maybe he could wait just a bit longer before saying anything.... you're not going anywhere on his watch, so what's the harm?
