Hiro and Shuichi is a pairing I would like but that I don't see being more than friendship. Hiro is one of those characters that I like immediately. He's a very good friend, caring, smart, good looking and a musician. It's clear from the beginning that Hiro and Shuichi are best friends. They have a great relationship that shows a history and many memories. However I see their relationship as one of those life long friendships that would last forever rather than a romantic affair. In a way, this connection is deeper than anything they could have with a lover because when or if they break up with their respective matches, they know they'll always have their friend.
