The first thing CRAIG CAHN( Dream Daddy ) saw after returning home was a suspiciously familiar face carrying boxes into the vacant house in the Cul-de-Sac. To avoid attracting the guy's attention, he silently watched his movements for a better angle of his features. The wait wasn't long, thankfully, except the answer literally knocked him over in shock, causing him to accidentally smack into his car. Sweating and blushing he ran inside his house, probably drawing more attention to himself than intended. The man was you ( ♂ ) ― his old college roommate where you two had experimented with each other. At the time, you thought of it as nothing more than exactly that since you were very curious about what being with a guy would feel like, plus you were pretty much always tipsy. Craig, on the other hand, was actually the one who suggested the idea because he became very aware of some strange feelings for you. (It helped that you were drunk while he was still quite sober, so it was easier to convince you and avoid embarrassment.)
Unfortunately for him, you acted pretty much the same the next day, not really remembering much while Craig was (pleasantly) haunted with the memories of the last night (he blushed several times remembering how you touched him and had to excuse himself from class a lot). But he was also sad you didn't seem all that phased and even continued entering short-term relationships or one-night stands. Part of him wanted to suggest a second, sober night of sleeping together from the wishful thought you being drunk was the reason you acted casual about it, but he couldn't find the confidence. Well, years later, Craig abandoned that old party-style life from before; but he still hasn't forgotten about you. He tried moving on only for the relationship with the woman to end not even a month in since it just didn't feel right (he had to picture your face when she asked to have sex). The only good thing that came out of that relationship was his three kids the woman got pregnant with and then subsequently dumped on him. Now that you're back, those feelings came crashing back down on him. He could barely sleep without either growing anxious about what to say to you or having his mind fall into the deep and explicit memories of your time together.
The next morning when Briar and Hazel were at school and River was with the sitter, he finally realized it was time to properly face you after all these years of being separated and conflicted with his feelings...after a cup of coffee.
"Mhm, I'd have to say you should go with 'Procaffeinating'."
Aaaand you're here too, animatedly talking to Mat about what seems to be a new coffee idea.
Sneaking into a chair and picking up a magazine to avoid being recognized, Craig watches you two from over the page. Mat laughs at your suggestion as he hands you said beverage, still smiling at you, which you happily return before asking if he can give you a tour around the neighborhood after his shift. Something from watching this interaction sinks Craig's heart to his stomach. Maybe he does need to just suck it up and face you already or else he'll officially miss his chance to reunite with you the way he's always dreamed of.

RINKO YAMATO ( My Love Story ) recently noticed that you ( ♀ ) had been declining all the sweets she baked for you. This was something she usually wouldn't mind since she understood not everyone enjoyed baked goods; however, you used to comment all the time on how the best perk of being Rinko's girlfriend was the free S-Tier food. You also never stayed consistent with your reasonings behind your declines; one time you mentioned you were on a diet but another time you said your parents put you on a food restriction. It all just didn't add up, and it was seriously starting to worry her about what was really going on that you weren't being honest about. Finally, she just had enough so she (cutely) stormed to your house and glomped you right on the floor, stating she wouldn't let you go until you confessed what's been up with you.
Tired of lying but also appreciating how far Rinko would go for you, you came clean ― but only after you settled yourselves comfortably in your room, holding each other's hands. It's then you ashamedly admit you used to be fat during most of your elementary school years. Eventually you realized that wasn't the lifestyle you wanted to enable, so you gradually built a solid healthy regime which led you to lose a substantial amount of weight by high school. After that, you felt good about yourself, but there were still moments when you became obsessed over what you consumed ― especially sweets. Befriending and then shortly dating Rinko initially didn't trigger this toxic mindset until she asked you to become her constant taste tester. You started fearing you'd gain all that weight back, overlooking the fact you maintained a healthy diet and daily exercise schedule for years.
Rinko interrupts your negative thinking with aggressive compliments through an angy pout and pink cheeks, ranging from her general love for you no matter what to how your brain and personality make up for your character more than your body ever does. Besides, if you do gain weight, she will happily support you through and through to keep your head up high!

It was a complete mistake on his end; KYOJURO RENGOKU(Demon Slayer ) never meant to actually reveal his feelings for you ( ♂ ) the way he did, but it was a celebration of defeating an upper-rank demon: it was a crucial battle, one no Pillar thought they'd survive, so they let themselves ― even the Master ― cut loose and party until they were purple. Of course, this implied heavy drinking, especially for Uzui and Rengoku. The Flame Pillar consumed one drink after another, getting totally blasted since he knew it'd be a while before he had another chance. After the party, you found him laughing loudly to himself in the middle of the estate. You decided to land a supportive shoulder to bring him somewhere to rest. That's when he made the biggest mistake of his life.
Face flushed red, Rengoku wrapped his arms around your shoulders before chiming, "I love youuu~" and kissed your cheek. His body then slumped against yours, the alcohol finally knocking him out cold. The next morning, he spent two hours hiding under his blanket. It's partly to avoid the sun that worsens his pounding headache; but most of all, he doesn't want his string of whimpers to be heard. His confession wasn't explicit, yet the way your face drastically changed from worry to disgust was enough to convey you understood his implications...and you didn't like it one bit.
