SSMYHRKG alternate head canon
Tashiro, Shirahama, and Niibashi were childhood friends.
We're talking elementary. Different junior highs.
Niibashi's parents pulled him into something more private. Maybe after some bullying? Maybe because they finally came into money and wanted to give their son the best? Maybe they were trying out public school in elementary and wanted to move him once junior high hit to put him with more upper class individuals? Lean toward higher sights for high school?
Niibashi doesn't even realize it when they all end up at the same high school. Both Tashiro and Shirahama have dyed their hair. Tashiro might be more obvious once Niibashi gets a look, with those bright green eyes, but Shirahama? He's WAY taller and has put on lean muscle. Maybe he was a lil chubby kid when Niibashi knew him.
And how are Tashiro and Shirahama supposed to recognize the boy dying his hair magenta and wearing matching contacts?!
They aren't in the same class first or second year. They don't really interact. It doesn't mean one of them doesn't notice. Maybe Tashiro does, but doesn't tell Shirahama because he just kind of forgets to. Maybe Niibashi hears Shirahama's name when he goes to one of Kagiura's basketball games.
Shirahama is out of the loop.
Then, maybe there's some old story he's bringing up and he wonders aloud, "I wonder where Juu-chan ended up."
Tashiro nonchalantly says, "Uh, he goes to our school, dude."
Cue some throttling of Tashiro by Shirahama, a reunion of friendship, and a crush developed from childhood connection and young adult maturity with Niibashi and Shirahama.
Shirahama maybe has some old comics that Niibashi made as a kid. Niibashi has some keychain tucked away that Shirahama won for him at an arcade.
It's cute. It's sweet. It's a fluffy mess.
