Wataru Hibiki/Eichi Tenshouin/Keito Hasumi

Watakeichi is the poly relationship between Wataru, Eichi and Keito.

## Relationship in the canon

Keito and Eichi are originally childhood friends with the promise of Keito taking care of Eichi's funeral due to his illness. When both of them joined Yumenosaki Academy, they started trying to fix the school, which ended up in Keito promoting Eichi as student council president while he remaint as the vice president and created the unit AKATSUKI in order to help Eichi.

After Yumenosaki War, during the events of ***Blackbird*** Wataru visited Eichi in the hospital, giving him a new plan to keep alive when he was at his worst. Eichi, who thought he had lost everything, accepted to write the script of his own fall from grace, considering that he couldn't ask Keito to do it, since Keito was the person who hated the idea of his death the most (and he got surprised Keito was still something worthy of love in his life).

Letting Keito, his right hand, in the dark, Eichi became a tyrant and started working with Wataru as members of fine. Still, Keito kept following him, taking the power of the student council while Eichi was hospitalized.

Keito was wary of Wataru, since he thought Wataru will eventually cause Eichi's fall and betray him. It's later revealed that Eichi had the same feelings, thinking his time with Wataru was limited and he was going to leave him at the end. However, he kept Wataru by his side to Keito's displeasure, calling him his left hand.

Eichi had been a fan of Wataru since he was a kid, thinking of him like some kind of angel that appeared in his dreams to save him from his lonely life. But he also was jealous of him and the other Oddballs, who he beated during the war. Because of how much he hurt Wataru, he couldn't understand why would he be by his side and eventually accused him of looking for revenge by leaving when he had grown to love him the most in ***Ep:Link***.

In ***Altered***, during Wataru's visit to the hospital room, he convinced Eichi to believe he had "killed" the Oddballs because of love, comparing him to a *yandere*.

By Eichi's side, Wataru took the role of the *Emperor's fool* and kept visiting the student council room where he threw flowers and made different tricks that Eichi loved and Keito hated.

Wataru one-sided called Keito his lifelong rival, while Keito wanted him gone from *fine*. In ***Crash Course*** they had to change places to learn from the other. Keito was amazed by Wataru's skills and fell for the temporary rivalry, saying he would be able to do whathever Wataru could.

In ***Quarrel Festival***, Eichi threatened to disband AKATSUKI in order to be able to fight Keito as an equal, since he didn't want to be protected by him and be an obstacle to Keito's own dreams anymore. At the end, Keito decided to accept his feelings and fight, even thought he didn't think Eichi had taken any dream from him, but given him a new one. He later asked Eichi to control Wataru that was causing chaos.

In ***Ep:Link***, when Eichi thought Wataru was going to leave him, he had an internal monologue about Keito and how he wanted to be an idol only with him, then Wataru appeared asking if he were thinking about other man. After their talk, Wataru gave Eichi his mask, saying he was giving his own self to him.

In ES !! Era, Eichi and Keito belong to different agencies, so Keito isn't involved in Eichi's schemes anymore.

When he mentions Eichi should be satisfied with his left hand, Eichi asks if he was angry at him because he had not been paying attention to him.

Both Wataru and Keito joined the circle *Dramatica*, where they work like a theater troupe. While Keito is a scriptwriter instead of an actor per se, in the CN scout ***Wonderful Journey*** he played the role of a couple from a manga with Wataru and found out Wataru is trying to help him in his odd way.

Keito's and Eichi's relationship has become a playful one where Eichi takes Keito's doujinshi from his room or Keito declares he is Eichi's eternal playmate.

On the other hand, Wataru's relationship with Eichi has got more complicated since Eichi said he has never in love, to Wataru's disbelief, just before saying he wouldn't mind even if he did awful things to him and ask if that's what society calls love.

Eichi's jealousy towards Wataru's threater activities in Hokuto's mother's troupe and around his kohai from the theater club has also been mentioned several times.
