So awhile back I started writing a fic for all the main 1000% ships and like it was all of them realizing they’re gay but Nanami??? Is so?? Perfect??? and il her??????? Right??????????? And like 5cm per second shit where they all at one point almost confess but don’t bc it just not right time or place n yeah. But basically
Otoya starts noticing little things about Tokiya and starts thinking about him more and more and he starts talking about it o Reiji and Reiji is the one who kinda points it out but also reminds him of the no love rule and how that’s just kinda taboo anyway sorta and so Otoya is trying to shake himself off because he still truly likes Nanami but he can’t shake off his feelings for Tokiya either and one day he is about to tell him but it just… Well it doesn’t happen and he resolves to just silently love from afar.
Syo starts being more caring towards Natsuki. Like more so than he has been. And he’s questioning where the line is on where it just gets weird to worry so much about someone. Finally it hits him that his feelings are similar to how he feels towards Nanami so he starts questioning if he really loves her or if he views her as a friend as close as Natsuki. He realizes that’s not the case and starts wondering if maybe Natsuki unknowingly feels the same. There’s a moment when Syo is about to say it, but again, it doesn’t happen. He forces himself to push it all back and continues to try and be okay with being just friends.
Ren, like Otoya, starts noticing more things about Masato, but unlike Otoya, recognizes the feeling immediately, rejecting it completely. After to trying to push it off and push it off he realizes that no matter how hard he tries, he feels he can’t not at least subtly show his affection, usually however through some form of teasing. He doesn’t think Masato would accept his feelings ever anyway, but there comes a moment when he isn’t so sure. Like the other two, it doesn’t happen. From then on, Ren just prepared himself for the day Masato finally gets fed up with him and cuts ties completely, but also makes sure to enjoy what he has with him as much as possible.
Natsuki starts noticing the changes in Syo, but it takes awhile for him to be conscious of them. At that moment, Syo was about to say how he felt, but Natsuki still not being sure of how to take Syo’s subtle changes is enough to keep the shorter from saying it. Had he though, Natsuki probably would have accepted. Not truly understanding at first, but being willing to try. Alas, that didn’t happen. By the time Syo is firm in his resolution, Natsuki is fighting within himself because he’s slowly started going crazy for Syo and all the little things. But not wanting things to change, he doesn’t say anything. Syo notices but assumes it’s wishful thinking. Again, had he asked, it would’ve happened. But, again, it didn’t. Natsuki eventually, after a long time, is able to hold it back completely, though never gets over it. Throughout all of this, he questions how he feels for Nanami versus how he feels for Syo and never quite sorts that our either, but long down the line and far too late, he realizes he loved them both deeply.
Tokiya probably unconsciously noticed Otoya’s feelings, but brushed it off not thinking it’d be like Otoya to feel that way for him and adding that they all love Nanami, as that is kind of the point of all of this. He does notice the other’s change though, far too late of course. It makes him think back on everything and he slowly realizes the potential to have feelings for the other. The more he thinks about Otoya, the more it grows and there comes a time when he doesn’t even think of anyone else, not even Nanami. But in the end, he still doesn’t find it reasonable enough to pursue. It leaves him quite sad in truth, but he justifies it for Otoya’s sake that that sort of thing between them would probably make it harder for him, even just suggesting such a thing. Long after, he still feels a low hum of regret resonating in him, but still does his best to ignore it. It sort of just becomes a part of him.
Masato, not too long after Ren makes his resolution, begins to question why he puts up with the blond. After much thought, he eventually comes to realize he doesn’t mind Ren’s pestering as much as he lets on. Not that he’d ever admit it, but he realizes how lonely it was without Ren’s antics. He notices things more and more and wonders if he could offer Ren better than what he has, but ultimately lushes the thought aside thinking Ren would never accept that. Long after, he still “deals” with Ren but never quite shakes off the feeling he could be so much better for Ren.
