Koishiteru to Iu Koto ni Shita

Yamamoto Rizu works as a utility handyman at a convenience company, taking on various physical jobs like construction and investigations. When a coworker goes on a business trip, Rizu is volunteered to be Miyoushi's sleepover buddy, as Miyoushi cannot fall asleep without someone nearby. Rizu makes a light joke about not minding if Miyoushi were his partner, which unexpectedly shifts their relationship.

Miyoushi offers to continue being Rizu's partner, and Rizu keeps sleeping over to keep him company. As their working relationship deepens into something more, Miyoushi's past begins to catch up with him. He tries his best to hide it from Rizu, but the secrets threaten to end their budding connection.
