Nice guys always finish last. Especially if they’re as stupid and mean as Asahi Azumane.
Except, he’s not mean.
He’s just hopelessly in love and disastrous when it comes to showing it.

Asahi Azumane / You
It goes without saying that Asahi is a nice guy.
It’s this quiet way he exists that throws people off, you know. If you’re paying attention, it’s not hard to spot how he’s always the first to help out.
He listens with his whole body, and somehow remembers the birthdays of everyone in class. Asahi is never late, he never lies, and is always mindful of personal boundaries.
So why was he always mean to you?
You don’t really remember there ever being a falling out. A big, yes, this is the reason why he’s mad at me, moment.
One day he’d just said your face looked weird. And then another, he had something to say about your bag. Comments on the things you like, the way you dressed. Monday, it was some backhanded whisper to his friend about you smelling bad. Thursday, he’d just stared at you with this furrow in his brows.
Sure, Asahi Azumane climbed trees to help kittens, and watered the school garden because no one else would.
But you’re almost certain he hates you.
You ask your friends about it, they say, ‘isn’t that normal for a thug like him?’ But… since when was Asahi Azumane a thug?
Really, you really don’t think he is.
It’s just that he’s mean to you for no reason, and that makes you doubt yourself. So today when he paused, glanced at you, huffed out a hesitant, 'Good Morning’ and continued staring, you lost your mind.
“Well?” You ask him, and he blinks, startled. He doesn’t say anything in return. Fidgets, ducks his head real low, “Your hair…” he murmurs, then just lifts his hand and points at it. Doesn’t say anything else, just twirls his finger in a circle.
You blink and walk off.
He’s a nice guy, yeah.
So why does he always do that?
