Blurb:
Kite’s had a crush on Shin since middle school, but never acted on it until
the eve of his yearly trip to the States, when he slipped up and kissed his
best friend. Shortly after, a tsunami wrecked the country and his hometown, and
put all his plans on hold. Now, two years later, he’s back in Japan and he
wants to set things right.
When he finds Shin, though, his former best friend isn’t who he used to be.
Losing his parents changed Shin and now, instead of following his heart, he’s
dedicated his life to studying for university entrance exams and ignoring
everything else. He won’t let Kite get close, denying his obvious attraction
and all their good memories.
Kite doesn’t want to give up on Shin, but he can’t shake the feeling that
there’s something his friend isn’t telling him. Something else that happened
two years ago on the day of the tsunami. He doesn’t know what it is, just that
it’s destroying his friend—and possibly their shot at love.

Excerpt:
“You know I watched you all through high school.”
“Watched me do what?”
“Fuck around.”
Kite grimaced but didn’t know what to say. He had
been promiscuous, no denying that.
“I didn’t have a crush on you in third grade,” Shin
went on. “Not consciously.”
“When did it become conscious?”
Shin leaned back a little, as if he needed the
distance to be able to think. “Middle school,” he said then. “We were having
ice cream and suddenly you told me you’d kissed Kaoru.”
Kite furrowed his brow. He didn’t remember much
about Kaoru, but he did remember coming out to his best friend over ice cream.
Ice cream made him think of a time in California when his sister would take him
out for a treat to get away from their parents’ fighting and she’d tell him
that she would definitely never get married. He figured since he was kissing
boys, he probably wouldn’t get married either.
“Kaoru was a test run,” he told Shin.
“Yeah? Was everyone after him a test run too?”
“No.” Kite lifted his hand and ran his fingers
through the soft hair at the nape of Shin’s neck. “Everyone after him was to
take my mind off you.”
