[The stars have finally aligned for Ichiro Yamada.
For weeks he'd been wracking his brain, trying to think of the perfect way to ask out Jiro's after school tutor Tsumugi Tsukioka. If he was going to ask him out, he wanted to be prepared and have a date in mind but he'd been struggling to find a balance between something that Tsumugi and himself would enjoy together. Going out for coffee or something just didn't seem like enough when they'd already been doing that almost weekly after Jiro's tutoring sessions - it's what they were doing just now!
But the stars had aligned. The 20th anniversary of W Juliet, a classic shoujo manga, was coming up and in celebration there was a limited run of a stage play adaptation in the works. Ichiro remembered enjoying the manga when he'd read it: it was touching and he admired the main character's conviction and passion for acting. And that was it! It was a stage play based on a series about acting! Ichiro couldn't have asked for a better date activity!
The tickets are burning in his pocket, he just needs! To! Actually... ask Tsumugi. Out. Guh.
Ichiro's not shy. He can be a little awkward and he doesn't have any experience dating but that's not why he's hesitating. He's hesitating because he doesn't want to make things weird for Jiro or lose the friendship he's made with Tsumugi.
Tsumugi's an amazing tutor: he's helped Jiro so much and even taught Ichiro some things he'd missed during his high school experience. He's an amazing friend, too. Incredibly considerate and sweet. Passionate. Always encouraging and inquiring about the brothers' other interests. Down to earth but with that little bit of a silly side that's brilliant when it comes through. Ichiro's so in love with him.
But...
Ichiro looks up from the mugs he's rinsing to the kitchen clock.]
Shoot. I didn't realize we'd been talking that long - do you still have time to catch the train, Tsumugi-san?
