Summary:

Still looking at the screen, Model Man says, “What is your stop?”

“Ochanomizu?”

“Hm.”

There is suddenly a finger scratching at the hair at the nape of Shane’s neck, just above his collar. Model Man is touching him and looking at the train stops and manages to appear so casual that Shane almost convinces himself it’s by accident. A second finger joins the first, and now they are massaging a little instead of just tickling his hair, and it’s definitely not by accident.

“Get off with me at next stop,” Model Man says, brushing his knuckles up and down Shane’s neck.

Shane quits hockey and moves to Japan right out of college, where he gets really fixated on the hot guy in the ad for cherry-blossom flavored beer on his train. And then, one day, hot guy is on his train.
