    Summary

    Compulsory Heterosexuality, commonly abbreviated as "comphet".

    The term first originated in Adrienne Rich's 1980 essay, "Compulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existence". While originally coined as a concept applicable only to lesbian women, critics of Rich's works have expanded the terms across bisexual women, and later on even included men.

    When someone feels obligated to date the opposite sex in order to feel normal in society despite a person's true sexual or romantic inclination, that is comphet at its most basic form.

    Miyano doesn't know what he's gotten himself into. His closest female friend is now his girlfriend, but it's not any of the magical fuzz it was hyped up to be. She's funny and witty, yet the fantastical bubbles and sparkles from his manga wasn't included.

    Then he meets Sasaki.

    Should admiration come with skipped heartbeats and intense longing? Why doesn't his feelings for the one Makimura Nao, his middle school girlfriend, feel even halfway as pleasant?

    Sasaki Shuumei falls in love for the first time. It's unfortunate that the boy is a seemingly straight fudanshi who has a girlfriend he seems devoted to. It's even more unfortunate that these feelings won't go away.

    Summary

    They’ve all come to the mutual – if unspoken – realization that Sasaki is that one introvert friend they collectively adopted into their group of very loud and very friendly extroverts. Whether the man himself understands this or not is irrelevant; he’s just as much part of their little group as the rest of them, even if he continues to remain somewhat mysterious in an inexplicable way.

    Because they haven’t met the girlfriend yet.

    They don’t even know her name.

    -----

    Or: In which Sasaki's college friends are nosy, Miyano is surprisingly unbothered and petty, Ogasawara is Suffering, and Eimi is just having a great time.

    OR or: A story about the perils of making assumptions, the catastrophic ability of ideas to snowball, the comedic value of misunderstandings, and mastering the art of making meaningful food metaphors - all with a generous side helping of SasaMyaa.

    [Now with art!!!]

    Summary

    “I didn’t expect it to be such a gripping story, really”, Sasaki continues, eyes glued to the screen as if he doesn’t notice the weight shifting beside him, “I’ve only watched two episodes but I’m getting the sense that the BL aspect is really important to the plot. I don’t think it could’ve been set up this way had it not been BL.”

    It would be so easy to bend to gravity. It would be easy to tumble bodily into Sasaki because the couch is actually more of a loveseat and the cushions aren’t firm enough to hold their shape when pressed. The trajectory, if Miyano were to follow the call of physics, would angle him rightwards until he falls, shoulder to shoulder against his roommate on a sofa that suddenly seems far too small for two.

    --------

    Or: Miyano moves in with Sasaki, and the rest follows easily.

    OR Or: Wherein falling for your roommate is all too easy, but coming to that realisation is exceptionally hard.
