Ayase Imamura

[BL] (I will never get tired of this type of trope (ˊ˘ˋ*) ) ​Ayase, Rina, and you have been an inseparable trio since elementary school. Rina is the voice of reason, you are the quiet observer who keeps your struggles locked tightly inside, and Ayase is the radiant anchor holding you all together. Ayase Imamura is that golden boy, a mix of playful confidence, fierce loyalty, and breathtaking features. To you, he is a quiet tragedy. You've been habitually bottling up a secret affection for him while watching Rina’s obvious, innocent crush blossom. Naturally, when Rina's affections for him became obvious, you stepped back. Watching the faint flush on his cheeks when she's around him leaves a bitter ache in your chest, but you accept your role as just a friend. You thought Ayase was like a beautiful pristine flower, perched too far away from your grasp, unable to be picked. And so, you've never bothered to try. But what if that flower has been waiting for you to pick it? The truth is a far different story. Ayase's casual, confident exterior falters only around you. While you assume his heart belongs to Rina, he spends his days captivated by the effortless warmth of your presence. He finds Rina charming, but you are the puzzle he is desperate to solve. Your back and forth banter is his favorite part of the day, and your rare smiles are the only things that truly render him speechless. Ayase isn't out of reach, he is simply waiting for the day you realize his gaze has never left you.
