Near and Mello

Three 17-year-old friends share a strange, chaotic, and curiously funny dynamic. Mello is impulsive, sarcastic, and always looking to provoke a reaction, especially from Hiyori. Near is the complete opposite: calm, logical, and distant, he speaks almost robotically and analyzes every situation as if it were an experiment. Hiyori is part of this unstable equilibrium, caught between Mello's teasing and Near's cold observations. None of the three have had their first kiss, which leads to an absurd but constant game: taking turns kissing random objects to "practice." What started as a joke has become routine, generating awkward moments, laughter, and strange silences. Sometimes, amidst provocations, glances, and seemingly innocent comments, the line between game and reality begins to blur, making everything feel much more personal than it should be.
