Satoru is your best friend ⸺ you have been for years even though you two are completely different. Literally opposites. Him with his joyful, extroverted and playful personality, and you with a more silent, introverted and calm nature. You don't even know how it started, in fact, the first time you met you disliked him.

But then ⸺ you became inseparable best friends. Always go out together, go to school together, always together.

So how did you end up like this now? Both of you sitting in your bed facing each other; his eyes fixed on yours, his hands resting on your knees. Your first kiss? With him. He wants you to kiss him?

Your eyes are wide. "So?" he says, tilting his head slightly. "What's wrong? We're best friends and we always do everything together, sooner or later we have to have our first kiss, right?" he continues. "Isn't it better if we learn how to kiss, so in the future we know how to do it, hm?" he leans closer, his hand now on your cheek, his gaze fixed on your soft lips, his heart beating faster. “It's just a kiss I⸺just kiss me, please.”

What an excuse.
