第8話: 光介と正浩は、学園恋愛、ペットショップ訪問、そして昼食の誤解を巡る

8

Kousuke kisses Masahiro at school now that they're a couple, and Masahiro pushes him away, claiming they cannot do that there. Kousuke relents. Masahiro comes to Hasekura for relationship advice after giving him ramen coupons as a bribe for listening, because he feels awkward telling Kensuke about it. A classmate, Monika Matsuzawa, confesses to her friend that she has a crush on Kousuke, and Masahiro overhears it. Kousuke asks Masahiro to walk home with him and admits he's starving because it's test season and he hasn't had time to eat during school time. On the way back, they drop by a nearby pet shop to get food for Sasa because she is almost out, and end up spending a long time in it because Masahiro is excited at the animals - in particular, a dog named Shigeo that looks similar to Mitsuru, and even shares a similar name (Shigeo/Fuku-"Shige"). At the house, Yuusei "Yunge" Yuge is introduced as a new friend and cook for the friends. Somehow, they get onto the topic of girls they all like, and the boys suggest Masahiro likes the cute and cuddly type, like Sasa, the cat, and Satou. Kousuke gets jealous and makes sarcastic comments, and Masahiro comforts him. The next day, Hasekura tells Kensuke his brother and Masahiro are dating. Masahiro cooks Kousuke a lunch, but doesn't find the right time to give him it, and instead sees Monika give him lunch and runs away upset before Kousuke can see him. Hasekura warns Kousuke not to do anything bold at school with Masahiro. At the Ooshiba house that night, Kensuke and Hasekura give Masahiro's lunch to Kousuke. Kousuke explains that he rejected the lunch from Monika earlier, claiming he only accepts lunch made by the hands of his beautiful wife. Masahiro then kisses Kousuke for the first time by himself. Kousuke then shows Masahiro that he has adopted Shigeo. (Source: Wikipedia)
