Monoma and Aoyama were not your typical high school couple - they were both openly gay and proud of who they were. Aoyama Yuga, a 15-year-old boy with blonde glittery hair and an everlasting smile, had spent most of his life in France before moving to Mustafu in Japan. Monoma Neito, his boyfriend, was a charming and open-minded boy with dull silvery-blue eyes.

One sunny morning, the two woke up to an exciting announcement. Their high school was organizing a school trip to Paris, a city known for its romantic charm and cultural richness. Yuga, being originally from France, was particularly thrilled about the opportunity to show Neito his homeland. They immediately started making plans and counting down the days until their adventure would begin.

Finally, the day of the trip arrived. Neito and Yuga, holding hands, boarded the plane with their classmates, excitement bubbling in their stomach. As they arrived in Paris, the couple was overwhelmed by the beauty of the city - the grand buildings, the admirable streets, and the strong aromas floating from the pastries.

Their first stop was the Eiffel Tower. Aoyama proudly pointed out all the iconic landmarks and shared stories of his childhood adventures. Monoma listened intently, intrigued by Aoyama's detailed storytelling. They climbed to the very top, their hands intertwined, witnessing the breathtaking view of the city.

As they explored the city, the couple couldn't help but notice the stares and whispers from some of the locals. It saddened them to realize that not everyone accepted same-sex relationships. However, they didn't let that ruin their spirits. They were determined to enjoy their time together and create beautiful memories.

One evening, while strolling along the Seine River, they came across a small cafe with an inviting atmosphere. They sat outside, sipping on their hot chocolate and sharing happy stories of their past. Aoyama spoke passionately about his younger self having a desire to use his art to inspire change and acceptance of the world. Monoma, in return, had told him that he wanted to express his aspirations to become a hero but to also fight for equality. He also couldn't help but mention his grandma's reaction to his emo phase as the topic had suddenly changed.

Their love for each other shone bright, and an elderly couple sitting nearby couldn't help but be touched by their connection. The elderly man approached them, his eyes shining with kindness and curiosity. "You boys remind me of my own love story," he said softly. "The world is changing, and love knows no boundaries. Keep fighting for what you believe in, and never let anyone dim your light."

Those words left a forever-lasting impact on Yuga and Neito. They realized that their journey wasn't just about exploring and saving lives; it was about embracing their identities, standing up for who they were, and inspiring others to do the same. From that moment on, they made a promise to each other - to continue being unapologetically themselves and to spread love and acceptance wherever they went.
