This is a story spread out over a ten-year period about two best friends who met in high school and then became roommates through college; both at different times realizing that they were in love with the other, but neither wanting to act on it. When one leaves for work he is gone for three years, but he returns and is intent on being more than friends. The two friends both admit that they love each other, but one of them is too afraid of having a romantic relationship as he's scared that if that doesn't work out it will ruin their friendship, which he cherishes above all else. I won't give away the ending, but I will say that it does have a happy ending. There are 10 episodes of the series with a bonus 11th episode that takes place one month after episode 10. Overall, I liked it a lot. It wasn't a series of intense love or burning desire, it was really a story of two best friends who slowly grew into something more.
