HI MY VILE 💕 I am always flabbergasted at how accurately you portray Keisuke, so I came to ask if you could tell us what you think his type is? How does one get his attention? How does one keep him interested? Ans how would he express his interest? <3
my beloved rena marena !!! hiiiiii !!!! AHH i love hearing that from another fellow keisuke connoisseur. makes me feel like i’m portraying him perfectly just how you all like him :3 <3
i love questions like these so much because it gets my brain going about that little shit.. for anyone who’d like to ask questions about keisuke, pls, feel free! i loooove talking about him!
also.. ik you didn’t ask for this, but i’m turning this into a very small text au as well… bc i WANT TO! read from left to right. (you can tell the timeline between being in a close platonic relationship with him or around when you guys started talking from the contact name & photo!)
i remember talking about this in his scorpio analysis but this time i’ll go more in depth just for you rena :3
keisuke doesn’t have a physical type. if you portray him as someone who falls in love at first sight just because someone is “beautiful”, you’ve already misunderstood his character right off the bat.
sure yeah he’ll notice if you’re attractive, he has eyes, but attraction alone isn’t enough to keep his attention for long. he’s not a shallow guy, and he’s certainly not the type to choose someone based on looks, clothes, or body type.
to him your character will always outweigh your appearance.
he’s drawn to people who have substance, like people who can stand on their own two feet no matter what, and people who don’t crumble the moment shit gets difficult, someone who will fight tooth and nail for the people they love, someone does something kind without expecting anything back, because it’s who they are as a person,
KINDNESS matters a lot to him, he’d respect someone who naturally cares for others, whether that’s friends, strangers, or even animals. his type is someone who truly embodies compassion, someone who’d step up for the vulnerable no matter how much of an inconvenience it is.
BACKBONE. i’ve written about this in his analysis as well, about how he doesn’t fuck with ass kissers. he wants someone who can disagree with him when he’s wrong instead of blindly agreeing with everything he says. someone who has their own opinions, their own goals, and enough self-respect to stand their ground.
PASSIONATE. speaking of someone with their own opinions and goals.. he’s attracted to someone who has passions for things, and goals they have set in their mind, someone who doesn’t give up to achieve what they want. it doesn’t have to be about a hobby or something that includes your future, it could be about literally anything.
(pls don’t be annoyed) LOYALTY. there’s nothing keisuke finds more attractive than a person who’s loyal, especially when he’s not around to witness it. anyone can stand beside him when it’s convenient, what matters to him is what you do when his name comes up and he’s nowhere to be found. do you defend him when people misunderstand him? do you keep your word even when breaking it would benefit you? can he trust you with things that never leave the room? that’s the kind of loyalty that means something to him.
keep in mind that he isn’t interested in blind devotion. do NOT mistake that with loyalty. he doesn’t want a yes-man who agrees with everything he says. he’d respect someone who’s not shy to go against him if he’s being stupid with his decisions. real loyalty isn’t constant agreement. once again, HE DOESNT LIKE ASS KISSERS!
he’s the type to notice the small things, whether you speak about people with respect after they’ve left, whether you gossip, whether you switch up depending on who’s listening… those little moments tell him far more about your character than any grand declaration and fake promises ever could.
HONESTY. trust is very very verryyy sacred to him, once you’ve earned it, he’ll put his faith in you completely. but if you betray that trust, either by lying, talking behind his back, exposing something he told you privately, or abandoning him the second things get difficult… stuff like that isn’t something he’ll easily forget. forgiveness is one thing, trusting you the same way again is another.
his type is someone with authenticity, resilience, sincerity, someone who’s honest even when the truth might hurt. someone he knows has his back even when he’s not looking. someone who doesn’t change themselves to be liked. someone who has their own convictions, their own morals, and the courage to stand by them. someone who says what they mean and means what they say. someone whose actions consistently match their words!!!!!!!
keisuke baji would rather be with an imperfect person who’s completely real than someone who’s outwardly perfect but emotionally hollow. looks fade, but a person with any of the traits above is the kind of person keisuke chooses every single time.
but if you really really reaaallyyyyy want me to talk about his physical type 🙄🙄🙄🙄, it’s less about your physical features and more about what your appearance says about you.
keisuke couldn’t really care less about fashion. it’s not really his thing, so don’t expect him to know what’s “in” or compliment your outfit because you’re so indie sleaze y2k alternative vintage lmaoooo that’s just not how his brain works. what will make him look back twice is someone whose appearance actually tells something about them. someone who dresses like themselves instead of dressing for everyone else. anything that makes him think, “yeah… that’s so them.”
he loves when someone’s taste feels authentic enough that it becomes part of their identity (like kazutora with his tiger prints!! it may seem too out there and not specific enough, but be honest, when you think of tiger prints 🐯 who immediately comes to mind? :3) the kind of person where you couldn’t imagine them dressing any other way because their style is an extension of who they are.
he finds individuality memorable. and i’m not talking about being alternative or against the norm!!! even if your style is incredibly simple, like if you wear pink a lot, if you enjoy a specific print, if you often wear horror graphic t-shirts. if it feels sooo you, then he’ll appreciate it.
some texts with keisuke around the beginning of your relationship with him <3 (context : you’re friends with emma and she drags you to outings with the guys often enough to get keisuke’s number.)
i can imagine keisuke not being a texting guy so it takes him awhile to answer unless you call him. and also he doesn’t save contacts, either he thinks it’s unnecessary, or because he doesn’t know how to. last time he saved contacts was the guys and that’s all he needed in his phone that he rarely uses. (read from left to right.)
𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐓𝐎 𝐆𝐄𝐓 𝐊𝐄𝐈𝐒𝐔𝐊𝐄’𝐒 𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍?
i reaaaally want to bring up the fact that what catches keisuke’s attention the fastest is selfless loyalty (it’s literally what made him approach ryusei and kazutora), but i know you guys are probably SICKKKK of hearing me talk about that over and over and over.. but just know this !! if he ever sees you being utterly loyal to something / someone, even when it isn’t necessarily in your best interest, you’ll have his attention 100%. but for the sake of not sounding like a broken record, i’ll give you some other examples i guess.
BE A TEASE. keisuke has a reputation of people being either ass kissers or terrified of him. so being brave enough to have good banter with him would get 20% of his attention. it would make him think about you, just enough to crave another conversation with you again. but don’t confuse teasing with disrespect. putting him down for a laugh is not the move!
text examples of your banter with him <3 (read from left to right.)
HAVE A LIFE OUTSIDE OF HIM. one of the easiest ways to stay on keisuke’s mind is to remind him that your world doesn’t revolve around him. like have a good conversation, laugh with him for a bit, then wander off to talk to someone else. he’ll automatically start to wonder what you’re talking about, what did they say that made you laugh, or what you’re doing now. keep that man curious! (don’t forget what i talked about in his analysis!! the more curious he is about you, the better! he is a scorpio after all.)
HOLD EYE CONTACT. don’t immediately look away the second he looks at you, meet his eyes and match it. (if he looks grumpy while looking at you, furrowed eyebrows with a little frown and shit, mock his look and stare right back, you’ll get him to laugh <3)
if you’re a shy person and bad at eye contact, just try your best to hold it for as long as you can. the blush afterward is a cute bonus. letting him “win” the staring contest like that would probably have him thinking about you for the rest of the day.
LET HIM KNOW YOU’RE HAPPY TO SEE HIM. greet him all excited, give him a big hug and tell him you missed him, those little reactions tell him you enjoy his company. though, don’t spend the entire day glued to his side. affection is nice, being clingy is not! give him space to miss your presence and ask about you. (once again, keeping him curious and chasing is an easy way to get this guy to think about you!)
MATCH HIS ENERGY. not by copying his personality!!!! but by matching his enthusiasm. if he’s excited about something, be excited too. if you guys are at the beach and he suddenly wants to play volleyball but no one else is in the mood, get up and play with him. if you’re all hanging out and he’s craving yakisoba but nobody else wants any, go get one with him. it’ll get him to invite you to things because he knows you’ll be up for it <3
𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐓𝐎 𝐊𝐄𝐄𝐏 𝐊𝐄𝐈𝐒𝐔𝐊𝐄 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐃?
BE SOMEONE HE TRUSTS TO LEAN ON. i’ve mentioned this before in his analysis, which was basically don’t be a chatter box!! he enjoys knowing that anything that comes out of his mouth is kept between you two, no matter if it’s small or not. makes him want to lean on you even more and be able to talk to you about anything, just enough to seek you out whenever he needs to talk to someone. protect the bond and trust between you! the more secure he feels with you, the more interested he is.
BE VULNERABLE. tell him things about yourself no one really knows about. it doesn’t have to be a secret or something big, just enough to show him that he’s “special” and you trust him with that type of info. it’ll make him be vulnerable with you as well.
i tried to squeeze my brain for more stuff to keep him interested but tbh there’s not much add, he’s not a high maintenance guy. winning keisuke’s heart is not about constantly trying to impress him or playing hello titty, it’s about giving him something secure, something that never gets old. if he knows he can laugh with you and rely on you and have a safe space to come to, he’ll have every reason to keep choosing you.
𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐖𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐊𝐄𝐈𝐒𝐔𝐊𝐄 𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐇𝐄’𝐒 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐃?
i remember also talking about this in the analysis but i didn’t go much into detail about it. i love this question so much, because keisuke’s not the type of guy to start flirting with you the second he figures out he’s interested in you. what’s so scary about being in a somewhat “talking stage” with him is the fact that you don’t really know that you’re in a talking stage. it’ll feel very platonic.. until you realize just how personal it’s getting.
and by personal i mean that guy would unravel every little thing about you to get to know you, and that takes tiiimeeeee. keisuke’s a patient man, if it’s gonna take a year to get to know you the way he wants to, then trust me he will.
keisuke doesn’t fuck with unwanted surprises, so he has to know every nook and cranny about you before deciding if he wants you all to himself.
and that’s being curious. if you notice him asking random questions about you or asking about you to his friends.. he’s very interested.
here’s keisuke being verrryyyy slick with his simple questions about you.
HE’D GO OUT OF HIS WAY TO ASK YOU TO HANG OUT WITH HIM, as in very spontaneous random hangouts. could be at 11 pm to a diner then a bike ride to a park to stargaze, could be at 3 am going on a snack run because you causally mentioned your craving something, could be when you both have odd sleep schedules and you wake up at 6 am and go get breakfast together. the small stuff.
CONSISTENCY. he’s the type of guy who loves traditions. loves having a show both of you use an excuse to hangout and watch together, + cuss each other out for watching it without the other. loves having an empty unknown cafe you both gatekeep from everyone to hang out on, makes it so much more personal and intimate. if you see him act on any of these things.. taking you to places around town and making you promise not to tell anybody about it, he’s 100% interested in you.
HE LIKES TO STARE, a little too much.. i’ve brought this up multiple times in every post i’ve ever written about keisuke, and that man likes to staaaarrreeeeeee..!!!!!! especially when you assume no one’s looking at you. he likes to know what you’re doing, what you’re thinking, tries to read you in any way. if you catch him staring at you too many times, he’s veryyyyy interested.
REMEMBERS LITTLE THINGS. keisuke’s memory is terrifying, you could casually mention you were into puzzles once randomly without thinking, and next thing you know, you’re getting puzzles for your birthday. or mentioning that you hate a certain type of food he likes, so whenever you guys go out to eat and you order something that includes it, he’d take it off your plate without asking.
BULLYING. not literally!! keisuke’s love language is roughhousing, so he’ll flick your forehead, ruffle your hair, call you names (lovingly), jump scaring you when you’re spooked at something, bantering, hold something stupid you did against you. if you notice him playfully bullying you, that’s a very biggg sign :3.
another one of his love languages is QUALITY TIME, if you notice him cancelling plans for you, ditching his friends to spend time with you, that’s another big sign that he’s very very into you<3.
HANGING OUT WITH HIM AND HIS FRIENDS. if he starts dragging you to hangouts with kazutora, chifuyu, mikey, or any of the guys.. you’re not going nowhere. you’re in there for the long run, he wouldn’t drag someone with him and his friends if they didn’t mean anything to him.
PROTECTIVENESS AND SLIGHT POSSESSIVENESS. keisuke can read anyone like a book, he can read when a person has bad intentions, and when you seem uncomfortable with said person / being naive and entertaining them.
whether it’s calling your name from across the room to give you an excuse to leave without embarrassing you, or inserting himself into the conversation and cornering the person, or even just glaring until they get the message. he’ll do whatever it takes to get them away from you. but if whoever he’s not fucking with seems persistent, he won’t hesitate to get his hands dirty.
SHORT SHITTY EXAMPLE OF HIM BEING PROTECTIVE <3
emma dragged you along to a party with the rest of the guys, promising it’d be fun, but she just ditched you all alone with a quick “i’m gonna go grab us drinks, don’t move!”
across the room, keisuke baji was playing beer pong against kazutora. not really focused in the game because his eyes keep flicking towards you like a guard dog refusing to relax.
a drunk guy sauntered up to you, seemingly harmless at first as he starts throwing lame pickup lines at you. you gave him a polite smile and tried to keep it short, and attempted to walk where the kitchen was to find emma. except he wouldn’t let you go and blocked your path with his body, saying things like “cmon don’t be like that.” and “let me keep you company.. you look bored.” you’ve tried to push him away and dismiss him, saying things like “my friend is coming” or “i have a boyfriend” to scare him off but he’s being real stubborn.
you look around for help from anyone nearby, seeing that no one around you is paying attention enough to help you. you then glanced at where the beer pong table is to find keisuke nowhere to be found, spotting kazutora smirking while looking elsewhere. curiously, you follow kazutora’s sight, to find keisuke walking towards the guy right across from you, shoulder checking him enough to knock him off his balance, stopping to stand right next to you.
before the guy could finish saying “watch where your going” he spots keisuke baji, practically looming over him as his strong arm slid around your shoulders, pulling you firmly against his chest.
“we got a problem here?” keisuke says with narrowed eyes.
the guy looks like he’s about to piss himself, not because of keisuke towering him with a mean glare but mostly because he knows exactly who keisuke is.
“not— no! not at all!!” the poor guy stutters.
“yeah? who’re you? what’s your name?” keisuke asks as he tightens his grip on you, leaning you a bit farther away from the guy.
the guy stammers his name to keisuke, who clearly didn’t give a shit what his name is, just did it to intimidate him. keisuke replied with a hum, extending his free hand for a polite handshake.. before keisuke could open his mouth to say his name, the guy cuts him off, “i know— you, uh.. i know who you are.” he says as he takes his handshake.
keisuke’s brow perks up, before immediately furrowing, “huh, do you now?” he then turns his head to face you, “wonder how my name reached this scum.” he then glances back at the guy again.
before the guy responds, keisuke hand tightened around the guy like a vice, making you hear the faint crunch of knuckles and the guy’s face twisted in pain, letting out a pathetic little whimper.
keisuke pulls the guy closer to whisper in his ear, “do me a favor and walk away.” before pushing the guy off enough to fall back into a couch full of people, who immediately dismissed him by pushing him off on the floor. assuming he’s just drunk.
keisuke immediately acts casual and walks away with you in his arms, “next time, find me when emma ditches you. the hell were you doing just standin’ there?”
it’s not usual for a guy like keisuke to be romantically interested in someone, so any sort of “talking stage” with him will take awhile to start actually seeing romantic gestures.
keisuke’s not the type to love bomb or drag you on for nothing, love, to him, isn’t something to be played with. if he’s gonna get with someone romantically, they’re gonna be the one he’s gonna marry 100%. so you BETTER not disappoint !!!!
