Summary: a story of a boy who loved too much and the boy who loved him too well. (or: two boys, four friends, and a constellation of desires.)

starts pre-series and ends post-series. ootomo realizes he loves sawatari shingo, but seeing the way sakaki yuuya makes sawatari light up has him asking himself: what is the best thing he can do for his friend? should he confess his feelings or swallow them for the sake of other people's happiness? don't worry, it's not a sad ending.
