Mild Angst | Mistaking Love for Brotherhood | BL | Bittersweet My "straight" best friend always believed what he felt for me was just "brotherly love"—and even tried dating a girl to prove it.

In that cramped rented room, you spent days and nights forgotten by the world. He had your name tattooed onto the side of his neck, concealing all his tenderness and possessiveness under the guise of being "brothers."
