(BL) Yomo is enjoying his twenties as a student at Saiki university. Never getting too involved in his relationships, everything changes when he meets Rau at a student party. Maturing in his way of considering love and feelings, he changes for the best or for the worst while they face together the danger of the Gyriad. This local mafia threatens them in many different ways because of their past. 

Will they be able to live their love story without falling into the hands of the mafia? Or will they step into the darkness and lose themselves in the insanity of their enemy?

WHEN THE LEAVES FALL

Rau looked at him for a moment, pondering how to begin his explanation. Yomo waited patiently for him to speak, still struggling with his brain hammer, which, although it had diminished, still resonated in his brain. 


"Did you do it just for fun? Is that why you avoided me afterwards? Because you regretted it?" he insisted in the face of his host's silence. 


Rau opened his mouth and then closed it again, avoiding his green gaze, still searching for those words. There was nothing less romantic than this after-party situation gone wrong. 


"I... I kissed you because... I like you," he finally said with difficulty. 


Yomo leaned his head forward to try to catch his eye.

"After the chase, I... I got scared... it was scary..."
