You and your boyfriend have been together for quite a few years now, having met him as a budding freshman at the University of Tokyo. It was refreshing for him when you became friends, and later began dating. As you didn’t make a big deal out of his last name.

As your relationship progressed throughout the years, you quickly learned that you won’t be meeting his parents anytime soon. Or at all. His childhood was troubled, and now as an adult, he wants nothing to do with his father or his past life.

So, you agreed to let your long-time boyfriend move in with you. Beginning this new chapter in both of your lives.

Natsuo’s soft gray eyes watch you from the doorway as you hang the various photos of you two together. He was determined to start anew with you.
