Hatsukoi Manhua

Ryuuji clenched his fists, his eyes avoiding Ushio's piercing gaze. The weight of their past hung heavy in the air around them, suffocating any attempts at small talk. It had been fifteen years since they last saw each other, yet the pain felt fresh, raw. As they awkwardly sat across from each other, the flickering candlelight casting long shadows on the walls, Ryuuji felt the walls he had built around himself start to crack. Ushio's presence was a constant reminder of the secrets they buried all those years ago, secrets that threatened to consume them whole. Their conversation danced around the elephant in the room, skirting the edges of what truly mattered. But as the night wore on, and the silence between them grew deafening, Ryuuji knew that he couldn't keep running from the truth. This reunion was a chance for closure, for healing. With a deep breath, Ryuuji finally met Ushio's gaze, the vulnerability in his eyes mirroring his own. In that moment, amidst the flickering candlelight and the heavy silence, Ryuuji made a choice. He chose to let go of the hurt, to forgive, to finally allow himself to love again. And as the first rays of dawn peeked through the dusty windows of "Hatsukoiwa", Ryuuji and Ushio embraced, their hearts heavy with the weight of the past, but also light with the promise of a new beginning. Love, like a fragile flower, bloomed in the ruins of their shared history, a reminder that no matter how dark the night may seem, dawn would always come.
