![waist-up drawing of neku and beat. neku is clinging to beat’s arm, chin hooked over beat’s shoulder, looking up at him expectantly. beat stands tense, looks up and away from neku, blushing hard. an arrow points at beat with text saying “still convinced this is post-isolation clinginess” while an arrow pointing at neku says “knows it’s mutual, having fun being a menace until beat catches up” and a text box to the side of them reads “*their friends think this is obnoxious”.](https://64.media.tumblr.com/27b4649b1ecd03ecf47e9c9527e2a77f/d8cd0956afd39f51-04/s640x960/1aeb7db42f82f466907de6f9c051b2a3b9a892a0.png)
![another drawing of neku and beat. beat is leaning into neku with an arm wrapped around neku’s shoulders, holding him close while he reacts happily to something on neku’s phone screen. neku, holding his cellphone for them both to see, is fully distracted by beat’s arm around him, resting his free hand against beat’s elbow. he’s blushing slightly but looks otherwise contemplative. an arrow pointing to beat says “excitement that neku’s back wins out over any sense of personal space or self-consciousness” while an arrow pointing at neku just says “coping.” a text box beside them says “*their friends think this one is funny.”](https://64.media.tumblr.com/2b397e33085b9426fb742ee02d8efa61/d8cd0956afd39f51-9b/s640x960/294715acfd2524ef708a457a55b335b54a83216c.png)
![a chibi drawing of neku sitting sideways on beat’s lap while rhyme and shiki, seen from behind, stare at them. beat is holding neku by his waist while neku messes with his phone, both of them looking back at rhyme and shiki with completely neutral expressions. in speech bubbles: shiki says “are you two fucking serious,” to which beat replies, “wha?” rhyme says “you both make me so homophobic,” to which neku responds, “we are literally just sitting here?” a rather large text box beside them reads “*they’re intentionally messing with all of their friends who can’t tell if they’re dating yet but they’re also stupid dumb numbskull idiots and are actually mutually pining but haven’t admitted it because they’re convinced the other is just doing a bit and their friends think it’s so insufferable they are so stupid god help me”](https://64.media.tumblr.com/6c70890b6c735cc391e2776b5ad13abc/d8cd0956afd39f51-4f/s640x960/ce7aa1592ce52aadade93e4b3dbe355f86e7fb86.png)

[id: digital drawing of beat bito and neku sakuraba from neo: the world ends with you. beat is standing close behind neku with his hands in his hoodie pockets, tilting his head down to rest his forehead against neku’s temple. his eyes are shut and he’s smiling wide. neku reaches up and behind him to ruffle beat’s hair and keep him close, his expression is mildly annoyed, but he’s also blushing and smiling very slightly. end id.]
their height difference is so cute. neku defied the laws of purgatory to have a growth spurt, beat hardly budged in three years, and neku still never stood a chance.

[id: digital drawing of beat bito rushing at neku sakuraba, sweeping him off his feet in an embrace. beat’s face is buried in neku’s shoulder, and neku smiles down at him, one arm wrapped around beat’s neck, one hand in beat’s hair. in speech bubbles, beat shouts, “i looked everywhere for you!!!” to which neku responds, “haha, dude that’s gay,” his words surrounded by a few floating hearts. end id.]
sweet moments captured seconds before beat drops the legendary player directly on his ass right in front of the kids
