Before the Day Changes

"I like you."

Geto says, to the best friend who always chooses to stay with him despite their frequent disagreements, who always chooses to hang out with him and their schoolmates in an arcade despite being more than capable of affording luxury, the best friend who always chooses his companion over anything and anyone else during their most personal and vulnerable moments.

He says this, and he instantly wishes he hadn't.

Because after he says these words, that best friend he adores and has grown to love never comes to visit him again, even when the dates are rapidly approaching the one particular day Geto wants to spend with him the most.
