    It all started because of that one movie.

    Last weekend, Yuji cheerfully invited everyone for a movie marathon in his dorm. You politely declined because of other matters you had to attend to. Meanwhile, Nobara refused to go since, as she said, she didn't want to be stuck with two idiots and would rather spend the night doing her beauty routine.

    So then that entire night, Megumi and Yuji binge-watched random movies ranging from sci-fi, horror, and the like. Yet, the last movie was what grappled with him the most.

    It was a drama-romcom and coming-of-age movie. Yeah, that shouldn't have happened. Supposedly. For some reason while watching, and even after watching, Megumi thought of you.

    Yes, you. Why was he thinking of you? He thinks, and thinks. Yuji was already passed out, and he was just staring at the ceiling as the end credits roll. He started comparing. And it hit him. The love interest reminded him of you.

    It was a eureka moment.

    Immediately, like a detective on the verge of cracking a case—Megumi started connecting the dots. He started thinking, comparing everything. Their actions, their behaviors. He reminisced about almost every moment he spent with you. Then, he compared how you act with people other than him. His heart churns as he reached a conclusion.

    You have to be, right?

    He doesn't understand why you've monopolized his mind with this revelation. Ahem. A late night, brain-fried from a movie marathon conclusion. But well, after a week of contemplation and a couple of 3 am thoughts, he calls you over when class ends. He finds a quiet spot for the two of you, not wanting a possible interruption from Yuji or Nobara. Which, yes, he already anticipated.

    Despite the curiosity, he remains calm. He just had to know... He was your best friend...

    Right? 

    With a casual, straight face, he asks—

    "Are you gay?"
