Oh, anon. This was lovely. Nino's scheming throughout the whole thing, much to his own unhappiness, was so sad. He was so resistant to the idea of him being Aiba's happiness, it was heart wrenching. I loved how Aiba always went to him for consoling. I loved how Nino tried his best to make him happy. I loved how Nino manipulated Sho into his scheme. I loved the relationship between Aiba/Jun and how it didn't work out, even though I adore Junba as well.

And most of all, I loved how Nino managed to find and hold on to that littlest bit of courage to ask Aiba if he would be with him. The hope of the ending really sealed the deal.

Thank you so much for all the work you put into this, Anon.
