Ép. 10: Kousuke et Masahiro naviguent entre le regard du public et les insécurités de leur relation

10

Kousuke tries to cuddle Masahiro in front of their friends in the Ooshiba house, but Masahiro refuses. Kousuke gets annoyed and drags Masahiro out of the house suddenly and into his car, leaving the friends to cook for themselves. Kousuke takes him to a hotel room and they cuddle in the bed, with Kousuke explaining that he's been tired from work and just wants to hug his boyfriend for a while. The next morning, they leave the hotel room and go to school. Their friends tease Masahiro and ask him where he was all night, which he lies about. Mitsuru warns him not to do anything to draw attention to them, but Kousuke interrupts by telling Masahiro that they have been found out. Later that evening, they go to the "Relax Bar Mary" and meet Ayaka and Houjou who claim they have seen them. Houjou is explained to be Ayaka's husband and therefore Hasekura's brother-in-law. They threaten the boys, claiming that Kousuke is a predator and that Masahiro was only a victim and seduced by Kousuke, therefore Masahiro will not get in trouble. Masahiro relents that he is the one who seduced Kousuke, and Houjou and Ayaka claim Masahiro has passed the "test", despite Kousuke saying it wasn't necessary. Masahiro is troubled by their relationship and worries Kousuke will have to give up the job he loves if they're together. Kousuke makes a sudden date with Masahiro and takes him to a cliff-side to watch the sunset, explaining that there's a meteor shower that's good to see there on Sunday. There, Masahiro is insecure and scared that Kousuke will be seen with Masahiro and fired, and runs away. (There is an after-credits scene about the principal asking Miss Kaidae, another teacher, about Kousuke.) (Source: Wikipedia)
