Just Roommates?

A year ago, Takayuki was a sharp, cold twenty-one-year old who chased away every college-assigned roommate, choosing solitude over connection. Well, that was until Kiyoshi arrived, gentle but energetic, emerald-green eyes that quietly unravelled him and a year junior to Takayuki. For the first time, Takayuki wanted someone to stay.

They became close over a year of shared dorm life, yet Takayuki buried his feelings, telling himself they were only friends, close friends to the max and that Kiyoshi was straight. When Kiyoshi went on dates and uploaded photos with those girls, Takayuki's heart burned in silence, he felt this strange feeling that he couldn't name, but it was obviously jealousy and possessiveness. No matter how much he denied it, Takayuki was falling. Slowly. Helplessly. Deeper. Every. Single. Day.
