What Boys in Love Want to Do

Shota and Hiro have shared an unbreakable bond since childhood, growing up side by side until their deep affection blossomed into romance. Now high school classmates, the two boys are practically inseparable. Shota is widely admired as the prince of his class, while Hiro follows him with the boundless devotion of a loyal puppy. Their love is so undeniable that they often struggle to keep from flirting right in the middle of lessons. For over two years, they have spent every weekend together at sleepovers, yet despite their closeness, their relationship remains entirely innocent and chaste. However, this untouched purity begins to weigh heavily on Shota’s mind. Knowing that most teenage boys naturally crave physical intimacy, he starts to question whether something is wrong between them. His anxiety only deepens when he considers how effortlessly popular Hiro is with the girls at school. Consumed by doubt and insecurity, Shota finds himself spiraling into overthinking. The once-comforting routine of spending weekends at Hiro’s house suddenly feels overwhelmingly tense, transforming their familiar sanctuary into an awkward space he can no longer bear to stay in.
