Story Intro

YOU MAKE ME WHOLE Some bonds begin as friendship… and somewhere along the way, become something neither person knows how to name. Nobita, Dekisugi, Shizuka, Suneo, and Gian had known each other for years. Long before college. Long before complicated feelings. Long before secrets and heartbreak. They had met as school kids and somehow stayed together through every embarrassing moment, every stupid argument, every exam, every punishment, and every little adventure. They had grown up together. And somewhere along the way, they had become more than just classmates. They had become a family. Everyone in their group had a place. Gian was the protector. Suneo was the troublemaker. Shizuka was the sensible one. Dekisugi was the dependable one. And Nobita… Nobita was Nobita. The one everyone teased. The one who somehow got into trouble without even trying. The one who complained the most and yet was always the first person everyone looked for when something went wrong. Their friendship had survived years. So when they all entered college together, nobody expected anything between them to change. They thought college would simply be another chapter of the same friendship. They were wrong. Because people grow up. And sometimes, growing up means realizing that the person you've known for years isn't just your best friend anymore. --- Nobita Nobi Nobita had always been the emotional center of their group. He was innocent, stubborn, sensitive, and sometimes ridiculously childish. But he was also the person who cared the most. He remembered small things. He noticed when someone was upset. He stayed when everyone else left. For years, Nobita had been comfortable around Dekisugi. They had studied together. Fought over stupid things. Shared secrets. Made fun of each other. And somewhere between childhood and college, Dekisugi had quietly become the person Nobita trusted the most. Nobita just didn't know why his heart sometimes behaved differently around him. --- Hidetoshi Dekisugi Dekisugi had been Nobita's complete opposite since school. Smart where Nobita struggled. Calm where Nobita panicked. Organized where Nobita was chaos. Everyone admired him. But Nobita never treated him like some perfect genius. To Nobita, Dekisugi was simply Dekisugi. His friend. His partner in countless school memories. The person he could annoy without being afraid. And perhaps that was exactly why Dekisugi felt safest around him. But Dekisugi had always kept certain parts of himself hidden. There were things from his past that even his closest friends didn't know about. Especially something connected to a girl named Aiko. A chapter of his life he had never wanted to reopen. --- Shizuka Minamoto Shizuka had been part of their group since school. She knew Nobita's childish habits. She knew Gian's temper. She knew Suneo's endless drama. And she knew Dekisugi better than most people. Over the years, her admiration for Dekisugi slowly turned into genuine feelings. She liked him. Not because he was the smartest. Not because everyone admired him. But because she believed she understood the person behind his perfect image. She had quietly imagined that someday, maybe Dekisugi would see her the same way. But she had never considered one possibility. That the person Dekisugi would eventually fall for might already be sitting beside them every single day. Nobita. --- Suneo & Gian Suneo and Gian had been there through every stage of their lives. Suneo knew everyone's business before they even knew it themselves. Gian acted like the group's unofficial bodyguard. Their friendship wasn't perfect. They fought. They annoyed each other. They embarrassed each other. But when one of them needed help, everyone showed up. They had grown up together. And they believed nothing could ever break their little group apart. Until feelings entered the equation. --- Aiko Aiko was different. She wasn't part of their childhood group. She belonged to Dekisugi's past. A past he rarely talked about. A past his friends knew almost nothing about. Before college, before everything changed, there had been a time when Aiko was extremely close to Dekisugi. She knew him in a way very few people did. And she left behind memories that Dekisugi had spent years trying to bury. For a while, he believed that chapter was over. He was wrong. Because some people don't stay in your life. They stay in your memories. Until one day, they return. --- COLLEGE And now, after years of growing up together, the five friends stepped into college together. Same friends. Same jokes. Same arguments. Same Nobita and Dekisugi sitting beside each other like they always had. Nothing seemed different. But everything was. Because they were no longer children. The friendship that had once felt simple was beginning to carry feelings nobody knew how to explain. Shizuka's feelings for Dekisugi were becoming harder to hide. Nobita was beginning to notice that his attachment to Dekisugi felt different from his attachment to everyone else. Dekisugi was beginning to realize that Nobita had become the one person whose presence could calm him without even trying. And somewhere in the background, Aiko's shadow still remained. Their college years would bring new friendships, new experiences, jealousy, misunderstandings, laughter, tears, secrets, and a love none of them had planned for. Because sometimes… the person you fall in love with isn't someone you meet for the first time. Sometimes it's the person who has been beside you for years. The person who knew you when you were childish. The person who saw your worst days. The person who grew up with you. The person you never realized you were slowly becoming unable to live without. And for Nobita and Dekisugi… their story had already begun long before either of them understood it. They just hadn't given it a name yet. Because some love stories don't begin with a first meeting. They begin with a friendship that slowly becomes everything. YOU MAKE ME WHOLE ❤️

Good night 💤

See you soon

Bye

By

The shout echoed across the college countryard .

Nobita Froze

Slowly , he turned around Gian was standing near the entrance, one hand raised, his expectation already annoyed.

Nobita Sighed.

Same indiots.

Same friendship.

Different place.

He looked around the huge college campus. Students were everywhere. Some were laughing with friends. Sone were rushing towards their classes. Others stood around taking pictures, already acting like they owned the placem

For once, nobody teased him.

All four turned.

Shizuka stood there.

Her long hair moved slightly in the morning breeze, and she was holding a few books against her chest.

As if summoned by his name , another voice came from behind them

They turned.

Dekisugi walked toward them , his bag hanging over one shoulder.

Calm

Neat.

Confident.

Exactly the same Dekisugi they had known since school.

Except.....

There was something defferent about him. Maybe it was the quiet confidence.

Or maybe it was simply that seeing him in college clothes instead of a school uniform made everyone realise.... They weren't kid's anymore.

Something about those simple words made Nobita's expression soften.

Shizuka watched them quietly. She had noticed this for yeay. The way Dekisugi always remembered Nobita's smallest habiy. The way Nobita automatically looked for Dekisugi whenever something happened. The way they understand each other without needing many words. Shizuka had always admired Dekisugi. Maybe more than admired. She had liked him for years. And somewhere deep inside, she had always believed that one day , Dekisugi might look at her the way she looked him . She didn't know yet that some feelings were already standing between them . Feelings neithyof them had recognized.

Their first lecture was chaos. Gian nearly fell asleep. Suneo complained about the professor. Nobita got lost twice. Shizuka tried to keep everyone organized. And Dekisugi somehow managed to take perfect notes while also helping Nobita Understand the lecture.

During the break , they sat together beneath a large tree near the cafeteria. Five friends. Five different personalities. One table. It felt exactly like school. Almost.

For a few minutes, everything was perfect.

They didn't know that this ordinary afternoon would become one of the last moments when everything between them was simple. Because college wasn't going to be just about classes. It was going to be about growing up. About jealousy. About secrets. About love. About heartbreak. And about one bond that would slowly become impossible to ignore. A bond that had started long before any of them understood what it meant. Nobita looked at Dekisugi. Dekisugi looked back. Neither said anything. They didn't need to. They never had. But soon… They would have to. Because sometimes the person who makes you feel whole— Is the same person who can break your heart the most.

See you soon

The first week of college passed faster than any of them expected. And somehow, the five of them had already fallen into their old routine. They arrived together. Sat together. Ate together. Argued together. And somehow, managed to get into trouble together. It was almost like school had followed them into college. Almost. Because there were little things that had started changing. Things none of them talked about. Especially when it came to Nobita and Dekisugi.

Still , he moved his bag . Dekisugi sat beside him. From the other side of the classroom , Suneo Noticed.

Across the room, Shizuka watched them. She smiled faintly. She had seen Nobita and Dekisugi like this for years. But lately...... It felt defferen. Maybe because they were older now. Maybe because they were older now. Maybe because she was finally paying more attention. Or maybe because every time Dekisugi smiled at Nobita, she felt something uncomfortable in her chest. She looked away. It's nothing. It had to be.

At lunch, the group gathered at their usual table.

Then stopped. Because Dekisugi was already looking at him with that familiar expression. The one that said he knew Nobita better than Nobita knew himself. Nobita quietly took the sandwich.

Shizuka watched. This time, she couldn't ignore the strange feeling. She looked down at her food.

But she wasn't.

Not completely.

That afternoon, the professor announced their first group project.

The room immediately filled with noise. Before anyone could react, Gian stood up.

The professor handed them their assignment. They had to prepare a presentation about the history of their department. It should have been simple. But with five completely different personalities… It wasn't.

Everyone looked at him.

The two exchanged a smile. Shizuka looked away again. She hated that feeling. She hated how naturally they fit together. Like there was no space left for anyone else.

That evening, they stayed back in the library. Gian and Suneo were arguing over the laptop. Shizuka was writing notes. Nobita sat beside Dekisugi. He was supposed to be researching. Instead, he had fallen asleep. Dekisugi noticed. He quietly removed the book from Nobita's hands.

Nobita mumbled something unintelligible and rested his head on the table. Dekisugi smiled. He pulled his jacket from his chair and gently placed it over Nobita's shoulders. Shizuka saw it. Her pen stopped moving. For a moment, she simply stared. There was something almost painfully gentle about the way Dekisugi looked at him. Not like a friend. Not entirely. She couldn't explain it. And maybe that was what scared her. Because for the first time… She wondered if the feelings she had carried for years were already too late.

.

.

Nobita woke up almost an hour later. The library was quieter now. Gian and Suneo had gone to get drinks. Shizuka was sitting across from them. Dekisugi was still working. Nobita looked at the jacket around him. Then at Dekisugi.

Neither of them spoke. For a few seconds, the world around them seemed to disappear. Just the two of them. Again. And Shizuka saw it. She didn't know what it was. Not yet. But something inside her whispered— This isn't just friendship anymore. And somewhere deep inside Dekisugi… A feeling he had never bothered to name quietly stirred. Because maybe Nobita wasn't simply the person he had grown up with. Maybe Nobita had become something much more important. Something he couldn't imagine losing. And that realization frightened him more than he wanted to admit.
