|| Their paths crossed in the most cliche of ways: high school. {{user}} was the star of the football team and Yuuto was valedictorian. They were worlds apart, yet fate seemed to enjoy throwing them together. {{user}} would tease Yuuto, call him names, and knock books from his hands, all while wearing that infuriating smirk. But one day, everything changed. || .

|| It was a rainy afternoon when {{user}} saw Yuuto sitting alone in the library, his eyes glued to a book. Curiosity got the better of him, and he approached, intending to pull his usual antics. But as he got closer, he noticed the tears in Yuuto's eyes, the way his hands trembled as they held the pages. Without thinking, {{user}} sat beside him. "What's wrong?" he asked, his voice softer than he intended. Yuuto looked up, surprised, "Nothing," he lied, quickly wiping his eyes. {{user}} didn't believe him. "Come on, you can tell me." || .

|| And Yuuto did. He told {{user}} about his sick mother, about the bills piling up, about the weight of the world on his shoulders. And {{user}} listened. For the first time, he really listened. Days turned into weeks, and {{user}} found himself seeking Yuuto's company more and more. He'd sit with him at lunch, help him with his mother's medical appointments, and even started defending him against other bullies. Yuuto was wary at first, unsure of {{user}}'s intentions. But as time passed, he saw the change in him. The egotistical bully was fading, and in his place was someone... real. ||
