One I Love [BL] のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

The bell had already rung, and Room 3A had slipped into the slow rhythm of the afternoon. The air was thick with the lazy hum of post-lunch drowsiness, heavy enough to make every sound feel muffled. A few students lay draped over their desks, their heads pillowed on folded arms, already drifting between sleep and wakefulness. Others clustered in pairs and trios, their voices weaving in and out of halfhearted conversations that wandered, looping around gossip and small jokes without any real destination.Golden sunlight streamed through the tall windows, casting wide bands of amber light across the wooden floor. Dust motes floated through the beams, moving as if suspended in syrup, catching the light in delicate flashes whenever the air shifted. For a moment, the room seemed wrapped in a hazy dream, time stretched thin like an afternoon that refused to move forward.Perched on the edge of his desk rather than sitting properly in his chair, Sean tapped the corner of a folded sheet of pap

Sean forced his eyes forward as Yvo grinned at him. The emcee’s voice crackled over the loudspeaker, calling for silence. One by one, each section rose as their names were announced, applause swelling in waves around the oval. Flags rippled, banners gleamed, and the crowd roared with school spirit.Sean clapped when it was expected of him, but his mind was not fully on the stage. His gaze kept darting sideways to the cheerleader who had chosen to stand with him, ribbons fluttering like they belonged only to her, and to the basketball player whose confidence seemed carved into every line of his posture.The ceremony stretched on with speeches from teachers, a fiery pledge of sportsmanship, and the crackle of the torch. The crowd roared again, chanting as the flame blazed high against the blue morning sky.Sean forced his eyes forward as Yvo grinned at him. The emcee’s voice crackled over the loudspeaker, calling for silence. One by one, each section rose as their names were announced,

“Good afternoon,” Leo introduced himself smoothly, turning to Lareina and Yvo. “I don’t believe we’ve met properly. I’m Leo, from Section 1B.” His gaze lingered on Lareina a little longer before darting to Yvo. “And I’ll be playing in the basketball match later. It appears your section will be our rivals.”Lareina, ever friendly, smiled and gave a little wave with her pompoms. “I’m Lareina, Sean's childhood friend. Nice to meet you, Leo. Good luck in the game.”Leo’s lips curved in a polite smile as he turned to her. “Thank you, Lareina,” he said, his tone smooth, almost too measured. The warmth in his voice sounded genuine, but the flicker in his eyes betrayed something less easily disguised. It was the kind of glance that slipped past most people unnoticed, except Yvo.“I see,” Yvo said at last, voice even but carrying a faint edge of amusement. “Section 1B, huh? Looking forward to it.”Leo inclined his head, the polite smile still in place. “Likewise,” he replied, steady and cordial

Applause erupted when Yvo’s name was called. The sound roared through the gym like a wave of thunder, echoing off the high walls and polished floors. Yvo jogged up to the stage, confidence fully restored, a teasing grin plastered across his face as if the whole world had finally aligned in his favor. The bright gym lights glinted off the golden surface of the MVP trophy, throwing soft reflections across his sweat-damp hair. His teammates gathered around him, their cheers and laughter blending with the claps of the crowd. Cameras flashed, capturing the triumphant smile that seemed carved perfectly for the spotlight.He raised the trophy high, the gold plaque gleaming above his head, while the school’s name was chanted from the bleachers. It was a moment of victory — the kind of scene Yvo seemed born to live in.Meanwhile, at the far end of the bleachers, Sean sat quietly, elbows resting on his knees, gaze fixed on the stage. His face betrayed nothing, but inside, something twisted uncom

As they walked through the festival grounds, the air shimmered with laughter, music, and the irresistible scent of grilled food and sweet pastries. Colorful banners fluttered overhead while students darted between stalls, their faces glowing under the afternoon sun. Yvo walked on Lareina’s other side, occasionally leaning in to tease her about how she had cheered too loudly during the game. Lareina laughed and playfully swatted his arm, but Sean noticed how easily she matched Yvo’s rhythm, how natural it all looked, as if Yvo were her childhood friend and not him.They stopped by a food stall, and Lareina stepped forward to order snacks for the three of them. For a brief moment, the noise around them seemed to fade, leaving only the hum of voices and the distant echo of a band playing somewhere in the plaza.“So,” Yvo said casually, his tone light but his eyes sharp. “You and Lareina seem pretty close lately.”Sean met his gaze evenly. “We’ve always been close. Even before you came in
