30 Years
Ito Haruto was lucky - he just managed to get into Tokyo University, where his path crossed with Saito Yuki. He was drawn to him, but he ran from him. It wasn't easy to be gay in Japan in the early 2000's. 30 years later, Haruto is still running from his past. Yamamoto Daiki has searched for Haruto, and understanding of the past and present. He, too, has yet to come to terms with his own life and Yuki. A/N: This story is a love story, set in Japan, but I kept it vague since I've never been there and I AM not Japanese. I do my best research but research only takes you so far, therefore I concentrate more on interactions that could take place anywhere. This could be any university, in any major city that doesn't allow for freedom or acceptance. Time does make a difference! Be proud of who you are, I am proud of you!Complete
