Seidou and Hide thank you too, for appreciating their much-neglected ship.

– Hide is the one who sent Amon back to encourage Seidou. He was too scared to go himself – he knows his face would upset Seidou. 

How adorkable they are. 

– Seidou first starts liking Hide because Hide doesn’t show him up or treat him like a newbie. He seems to look up to Seidou, which is a first in Seidou’s life.

– Seidou also vents a lot to Hide about his feelings regarding Akira and Juuzou and … gah it’s so frustrating! He and Hide bond over coffee and venting.

– One day, Seidou asks Hide if there’s anything he’d like to vent about. So Hide vents about his friend who isolates himself because he’s afraid of being a burden.  

– Seidou is surprisingly sympathetic and feels guilty for complaining so much. He gives Hide a hug and thanks Hide for being the friend that always makes him feel better. 

– Hide kisses him him after drinks one night. He tells Seidou he doesn’t need to be better than Akira, that he’s enough on his own. He also makes a comment about why he’s always falling for guys with inferiority complexes. 

– Seidou gets mad at the inferiority complex joke, and “revenge kisses” him. 

– Hide has the sense to call it off before they hook up and regret it later. Instead, they go on a proper date to an amusement park that weekend. 

– Juuzou notices how close they are and gives Seidou a subtle thumbs up, and for a moment, Seidou considers Juuzou a friend.
