9

The friends, apart from Masahiro, Kousuke and Jirou, go to the supermarket. Mitsuru is suspicious that Masahiro likes spending time with Kousuke more than them, which Hasekura counters by saying maybe Masahiro just doesn't like people who read into things too much. Kensuke defuses the situation, but Mitsuru doesn't like that Hasekura and Masahiro are close. Meanwhile, at school, Masahiro helps Kousuke move some materials. When Kousuke explains he is jealous because he misses Masahiro, Masahiro kisses him, and Jirou sees from another building through a window. Jirou hurries back to the gang and says he saw Kousuke and Masahiro kissing. Mitsuru calls Masahiro and Kousuke kissing disgusting, and Hasekura starts trying to defuse the situation by saying he must've seen incorrectly, but Kensuke stops him. Kensuke yells at Mitsuru and tells him that Kousuke and Masahiro are both his family, and if he bad-mouths them, he can leave. As he's leaving, he runs into Masahiro, who has heard everything. Hasekura berates Masahiro for being caught, but the other boys do not mind the discovery. Kensuke is still angry at Mitsuru, who begins to avoid the boys, but finds he can't get on very well with his new group of friends. After a conversation with Kousuke, Masahiro resolves to explain everything to Mitsuru, who also wants to explain his feelings to Masahiro. It's then explained that Mitsuru is just confused about which one is the top in the relationship and how he doesn't understand why Masahiro is going out with an old man, but also wishing Masahiro trusted him earlier. They then have a barbeque, but Mitsuru has to sit outside. Kousuke admits that he saw Jirou across the hall right before Masahiro kissed him, but decided to keep quiet so that his friends understood Masahiro better. Kousuke is then kicked outside alongside Mitsuru. (Source: Wikipedia)
