I'm glad we're on this leisurely stroll to the long awaited scene, but right now I want to SPRINT TO THE FINISH LINE!! HOLD THAT HAND LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT, NAO!! ::faints::

mandi

Jetare

Tink

We're so close!! Scarf!!! Both of you just say what you're thinking! Its difficult, I know, but I believe in you!!

leen

AHHHHH

samantha

oh so this idiot will catch a cold 😏

Otome Laundry

Nao, please see thru this sad clown already!

Cexra

Yeah my prediction is that we’re going to have to wait through 8-9 chapters before this confession 😂

TyTaco

It'll be 6 more sections of this chapter before anything productive happens. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 No one drags it out better than these two!

jen

AAAAAA💞💞💞💞 i knew it was going to start with nao noticing souta is freezing cold 🥰 hes gonna wrap his scarf around him and they’re going to TALK once and for all 😭🙏 guys its happening😭😭😭

Javi

Me encanta como Nao se preocupa ❤️❤️

DearNeptune!

I love hand in his hair Nao! 😩 He's such a little cutie. I want to pinch his cheeks. Also, these completely in love losers just said they don't want to be anywhere else but with each other. 🥲 Someday, they'll hear the love in their words without having to say it.

tana

my guy you CANNOT just hold his hand like that without any warning 😭

katotato

This comic will kill me. I will die from anticipation only to resurrect each Thursday and die again.

jay

Bruh, the last panel, he asked why his eyes are red and the next panel he changed the subject, im bummed

Hannah

guys why am i freaking out over hand holding

Fairy Fawn ♡

OMG HE’S GONNA CATCH A COLD GUYSSS!! 😭💕

Diadia20

Aaahhh it’s too short😭 but still very lovely♥️♥️

tina

he is so gonna catch a cold

INAUE

You're milking this....

Zarrytan

Not the old-married-couple bickering 😭 I'm liking how they both shifted to how their relationship use to be. I'm hoping this makes the pending conversation more honest.

fractalface

Don’t worry. He won’t get sick. Idiots don’t catch colds.

Ciara Vasquez

I really need to know what Nao's been thinking. I've gone back and forth on whether he just sees Arashi as a friend and is being obtuse on purpose, or if he knows she likes him and he's trying to make himself like her back??? Because if he cares about Souta romantically then why would it matter to him if Arashi will be pissed? So does he not like Souta yet? Or does he? I'm tearing my hair out over here.

Lisa

Damn why did they suddenly just gloss over what souta was going to say? 😑

lulu_storm19

i really just need them to kiss kiss fall in love

catto

PLEASEEEEEE

Fen

I'm losing my faith in humanity

amy-may

souta wearing a scarf in the cold hands art but nao isn’t and now we know it’s probably because nao gives souta his scarf to keep him warm im gonna sob oh my GOD 🥹 i love them so bad the love and care they have for each other speaks volumes, they always prioritise each others health and wellbeing and it’s beautiful to see ❤️‍🩹

JaiAHHH

The cold never bothered him anyway…

Yaya

Even tho they didn't open up in this chapter, for some reason I fill so fulfilled! Nao didn't hide the fact that he RAN to be there for him, he didn't let Souta lie about his emotions but also respected that he didn't want or had the courage to say it on that moment even if he was desperate to talk just a few minutes ago. All that plus the fact that the moment he realised Souta was soaked and cold, he pushed all that aside and prioritised Souta's health... I'm all for open and honest ✨ communication ✨, but this spoke volumes

Jay

The fact it’s so clear they care deeply for each other, even though the things that need to be said haven’t been said yet, helps my heart heal from the weeks of misunderstandings!

TT

Okay, everyone… NO SUDDEN MOVEMENTS!! It ACTUALLY might be happening!! 👀🤯🥰🤩👏👏👏👏👏👏

camilin

omg i'm loving this so much 😭😭 they are finally somewhat getting back to being comfortable around each other and just saying things without overthinking every little interaction. this is everything really and it has made my day. better times are coming i feel it

camilin

souta scolding nao for leaving arashi alone at karaoke had me cackling and the faces they made were top notch

camilin

nao being so worried about souta is a caress to my soul i needed this update so badly

camilin

souta just doesn't care that much about being covered because he thinks he can't catch a cold but little does he know he'll probably be getting sick soon !!

hani✨

his hands...they're cold! AAAAAAAAA

Em!

IS HE GONNA GIVE THE COAT?

ghibligirlie90

i'm actually glad he didn't press souta further bc i need nao to do or say literally anything at this point. souta's put himself out there enough 🥹 . and this update was really sweet; it's so nice seeing a glimpse their dynamic after months of not

MrMonochromatic

I can hear the readers screaming from here 🤣

Stephanie

Mae 🐢🖤

NO YOU CANT LEAVE ME LIKE THIS NOOOOOO

Amanda S.

He’s like she’s pissed but you’re cold. And that matters more. 🧎🏻‍♀️‍➡️

lenawithapen

I’m glad they’re talking again, but they are also giving off a very much “just friends” vibe to me. Hopefully we’ll get to see a shift that feels more romantic some time soon.

Pyrocatnics

She may be pissed but souta is more important 😤

BiliousBecca

Nao's gonna wrap Souta in his scarf!! BUNDLE THE BOY!!! 😍😍😍

Kiarrionss

Okay I’m back 3 hours later to say… my heart can barely handle such a gorgeous and hopeful episode. BUNDLE THE BOY IN YOUR SCARF, NAO!!

fish

HWHEHSHSHEHHWHEHEHEHEHE

fish

This comic makes me feel like I’m going insane

Exo_Soto

Remember Nao, idiots don't catch a cold. I'm kidding, Souta is not an idiot 😭💕 But he needs something dry a.s.a.p. or else he'll catch a cold.

Michayla Brooke

I have read this comic for years yet here I am again 💀I think I am gonna to die in this house💔(sound trend that I will forget but not this comic I will NOT) I feel like I have joint custody with this comic when I look at the comments atp

Artemis mckee

HANDS, YES, NOW YOU JUST NEED TO SAY YOU LOVE EACH OTHER AND KISS AND THAN YALL WILL LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER!!!!

Nicole

Okay fam, I been cooking up this theory for the past several weeks and I'm finally here to say it for posterity: My bet is Nao is 100% gay, and he's been going about his business with the idea that Souta is 100% straight. I have no doubts he's already fallen for Souta, but here's the thing — it's a lot easier to keep those feelings in check when you fully believe you'll NEVER have a chance (speaking from experience heh). And so, the romance is smothered (though not very well, imo) and Souta solidly becomes Nao's FIRST REAL BEST FRIEND. Let that sink in. Nao said he "doesn't want things to change", and if I heard this between a straight man and a straight woman, I would assume that means "I don't want to risk losing our friendship over a possible romantic relationship". As I said, Souta is Nao's first ever best friend. That's valuable! True best friends are hard to come by. You weigh the pros and cons of dating very carefully before potentially crossing a point of no return. TL;DR here's the sitch: Nao has romantic feelings for Souta. Souta is also Nao's first best friend. Nao has been hiding his feelings because he a) wants to prioritize fostering their best friendship, and b) never thought he had a chance to begin with. And then Souta hits him with an atomic love bomb and it's a slow descent into madness. I bet Nao will say something like, "It was a lot easier to ignore how much I liked you when I thought you were straight." I recently reread the entire story with this concept in mind, and I swear to God it fits spectacularly.

Kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss

doingus

guys i think that nao doesnt actually believe souta likes him as much as he says (yet), i thibk thats why he made such a sour expression when souta said tha. i feel like he might’ve taken offense, like souta was throwing his feelings around like a joke (considering nao was COMPLETELY under the impression that souta has long term feelings for inoue, and then believing he felt for arashi). i also just think that nao is resistant to change because of just his personality and backstory. souta definitely 100% deserves an apology from nao, but i think nao might even need one too!! they are both so young and new to this so it makes sense for them to dance around eachother for so long. i am so excited for whats to come

catto

ohh this is giving flashbacks to when nao fixed souta's clothes back at the festival 🥺🥺💖 and i love it

ALICE

Omg?? Is Nao Bundling Souta up OFF SCREEN?! ….. but I wanted to see… 😔

Rohan Naik

I wonder if they will go to Nao's house? Honestly I have no idea if they will kiss or date or get together this chapter or even the one after. Like could easily be next week (but I've thought that before) or we may have another arc or two. I'm not really sure how much Nao has realised about his own feelings (apart from I dont like arashi that way) 🤔 does he know he likes Souta, he clearly fantasies about him but has it clicked for him that ah I fantasies about him being arashi because I want to be his boyfriend and for him to be the one im "dating". Even if he knows is he ready to reveal to Souta his feelings are reciprocal (it took souta a hot second to come to terms with liking guys, so could be the same with Nao).

tamar levy

is next update going to be the iconic panel 🥹

doingus

second comment tonight i do not think the sleepover spoiler has happened yet. i know they had a sleepover whenever nao’s mom had just passed, but i feel like thats too vulnerable and comforting to really consider a ‘romantic’ moment, though it definitely doubles as that, i just think the first part dominates that scene. and the spoilers she listed all happened in a cluster with arashi, the fair, the half confessing, karaoke, yknow. so i think maybe nao will tell souta to stay the night…….????

Vero Ver

Omg it's happening!

HannaLuLu

The last few updates have me suspecting that Souta is finally going to get sick from this whole ordeal, just in time for the the culmination of their character arcs. Bring the title full circle, poetic af and all that. Just my hypothesis

♡ icy ♡

Idiots don’t catch colds☹️☹️

Cole

Finally our boys are bickering again <3

Elisa🩷💜💙

Ok you guys I think it’s time for a reread 😅. I love this story so much ❤️

emms

he truly uses any excuse he can to touch souta

Hermione

HEHEHE I’ve read this a billion times and am still not over it. The SLIGHT hint of jealousy from Nao asking about the party is SOO SATISFYING. It’s the same face he makes but slightly more tame whenever he’s jelly hehe. Alsoooo, this scene reminds me soooo much of when they spoke in the locker room/shower when they were talking about being buddy buddy with Ryu and Big Ben. We are finally getting Cold Hands also and wayyyy too excited. AND ALSO, LOOK AT THAT. Who is using any excuse to hold someone’s hand?? Now Nao… I thought you said Souta would love any excuse to hold your hand. (I mean he definitely would) but you straight up grabbed Souta’s hand as if there was no tomorrow. Hehe I love that and now you’re probably going to keep holding it. So excited for next weekkkkk. Also I mightttt be reading too much into it but Ioveeee the symbolism here. Assuming Nao gives Souta his scarf which I think he does, it’s like Nao is drying his tears or holding him. Souta has been so hurt and saddened for so long it’s as if the tears on his face weren’t enough to emphasize that so instead he’s soaked by snow. And Nao giving him his scarf to give him warmth feels like he’s wiping his tears or giving him comfort after all this time. I can’t wait for next week

Kazemi / かぜみ

THE BABY IS GETTING BUNDLED!!! Ahhhh I love how they addressed the small (ish) questions of the party and poor Arashi lmfao. The way Nao kinda just realized that leaving her alone wasn’t the best idea looooool and immediately moved on. The panel where Souta asks if that was okay is peak comedy in my book because you know the “…” is a big old “No.” Moving on, Nao sandwiching Souta’s hand and not listening to him say that he’s resistant to the cold is everything I ever wanted. …what does “somewhat water resistant” mean Souta?

Tarandra

I’m soooo happy to see them talking normally again ! Well there is a bigger elephant in the room to adress, but I get the feeling that it’s coming really really soon 👀 thank you so much for this story Aina ! 🙏 this is always incredible to read !

Caro

I love seeing their usual dynamic again :) And Nao reminds me of an angry mother cat 😂 I think the way he fusses about Souta really fits Souta's tendency to neglect his own well-being. Like, in a counterbalancing way

Procra

I don’t know why I’m so slow on this, but with this scene, I just realized that we have a lot more weeks to wait until the “love talk”. I’m happy because I LOVE slowburn but I’m sad because I lived too much cliffhanger with idcc and I’m exhausted 😆

Ells

seems he has… Cold Hands 🤭

Adrianna Lopez

Nao looking salty when talking abt the party

ugGHHH. ALWAYS DISTRACTING FROM THE PLOT. LOCKED IN FOR 2 MORE MONTHS OF SLOW BURN 💀

This boys are going to kill me...

Dani

I think we’re about to get a parallel scene back to the start of the book when Nao was helping adjust Souta’s outfit for a carnival!

Ari Yez

Holding hands~~

lenawithapen

I would love to see Souta put both of his ice cold hands right on Nao’s face about now. He deserves it, lol. 😂 ❤️ Then we could have a nice flashback to when Nao was rubbing the make up off of Souta’s cheek at the festival, and a sweet reminder of all the tension they feel whenever they get up close. 🥰

Woiso

Unpopular opinion : I miss the football story. I know it's important the romantic aspects with these last chapters but ... What about the dream of Souta to be a better football player ? ❤️

Dani

Aina I have concluded on behalf of everybody here that we would all like to see a valentines update this year that defeats our actual Valentine’s Day plans. Thank you for your time and consideration in this request

Dani
