not sure if youve done something like this before or if its too suggestive but maybe the reader is a little nervous to be intimate because she’s inexperienced or has never had a bf before? with isagi or anyone tbh
“𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲”
a/n: header image had everything to do with this post
he immediately notices you're nervous and his tone softens right away.
he’s super patient, like, won’t even kiss you unless you give the tiniest nod of approval.
“we don’t have to rush anything, okay? i just like being near you.”
isagi would totally ask you what you're comfortable with, hands twitching a little at his sides because he also gets flustered when it’s serious.
if you mention that you’ve never had a boyfriend before, he gets wide-eyed and a little red.
“then… i’ll make sure your first is really good. not just like… that! i mean, like, relationship stuff!!” he panics and waves his hands around.
he’s such a sweetie though, will always check in with you and hype you up like, “you’re perfect, you know that?”
itoshi rin
stoic exterior but the moment you say you’re nervous or new to this, he blinks.
“... that’s fine.” he says it so matter-of-factly, like it’s not a big deal at all.
but inside? heart doing backflips because you trust him enough to say that.
he’ll adjust instantly, pulls away a little, gives you space, his touches turn featherlight.
he won’t tease. instead, he mumbles a quiet, “you can take your time with me.”
might shyly lace your fingers together and just stay like that for a while.
he respects your boundaries to a T, but lowkey gets a little possessive like, “you’ve never had a boyfriend before? then i’ll be the only one.” (he’s dead serious btw.)
nagi seishiro
when you admit you’ve never had a boyfriend, he tilts his head like, “huh… really?”
not because he thinks it’s weird, but because he genuinely can’t believe someone as cute as you hasn’t had one before.
he goes, “guess i’m your first then. sounds kinda nice,” with a lazy grin.
he’s surprisingly gentle. like he’ll curl his arm around you when you’re nervous and go, “you don’t have to do anything you don’t wanna, okay?”
nagi’s love language becomes being near you – long hugs, head resting on your shoulder, casual hand holding.
if you flinch or hesitate, he pauses and mumbles, “sorry… too fast?”
then just flops next to you and opens a game. “wanna watch me play instead?” it’s his way of saying he’s happy just being with you.
mikage reo
reo is so smooth but the moment you confess you're inexperienced, his face softens completely.
“oh… hey, that’s totally okay. i’ll take care of you,” he says with the gentlest smile.
he's a natural flirt, but he dials it back for you. goes from flirty to full-on boyfriend mode.
“you don’t have to impress me, y’know. i already like you just the way you are.”
if you’re nervous about kissing, he literally whispers “can i kiss you?” like it’s sacred.
he spoils you with reassurance: “you’re doing great,” “you’re cute when you’re shy,” “i feel lucky to be your first.”
will not shut up about how honored he is to be your first boyfriend. texts you “first bf privileges 😛” as a joke but is lowkey whipped.
itoshi sae
he raises an eyebrow when you tell him, like, “never had a boyfriend? huh.”
then gets this smug, slow smirk. “guess you’ve got good taste now.”
but then he sees how genuinely anxious you look and his tone shifts immediately.
“hey. it’s okay. i’m not going to rush you. ever.”
he’s really good at reading your body language. if you tense even a little, he backs off with zero complaints.
instead of being touchy, he becomes comforting, like letting you wear his hoodie, brushing hair behind your ear, soft glances.
if you ever cry or feel embarrassed, he’ll literally hold you and mumble into your ear: “don’t be ashamed of that. i’ll go slow. you don’t have to be perfect with me. just be you.”
shidou ryusei
when you say you’ve never had a boyfriend, he blinks.
“you’re tellin’ me no one’s ever hit that?” cue your face going red.
he laughs when you get flustered, but his tone changes quick once he realizes you're actually nervous.
“okay, okay, sorry. i’ll behave. promise.”
he genuinely tries to dial it down, even if it kills him to not be all over you.
surprisingly good at physical comfort. throws an arm around you lazily and lets you hide your face in his hoodie.
whispers stuff like, “you’re cute when you’re shy,” and then immediately goes, “wait, sorry, was that too much?”
lowkey proud to be your first. wanted to ruin everyone else’s chances from the start.
kaiser michael
“you’ve never had a boyfriend?” he says with that signature smirk, but something soft flickers in his eyes.
he gets cocky for a second: “figures. you’ve got high standards.”
but then his expression shifts, and he actually looks… serious.
“i won’t mess this up,” he says, more to himself than you.
kaiser can sense hesitation in a heartbeat. he reads you like a book (well he does read psychology books).
instead of teasing, he leans in and says, “tell me what makes you comfortable. i’m listening.”
runs a hand down your arm slowly, like he’s testing the waters, and waits for your reaction.
terrifyingly good at making you feel like the only girl in the world, but also shockingly gentle when it counts.
ness alexis
he freezes the moment you confess you're nervous about intimacy.
“oh… oh no, did i do something wrong? i didn’t mean to rush anything!”
poor baby panics a bit, apologizing and waving his hands around.
once you explain, he calms down and becomes the sweetest boy ever.
“thank you for trusting me with that,” he says with a pink blush on his cheeks.
he’s super respectful and extra careful after that, asks before everything, even hand-holding.
will write you little notes like “you make my heart beat really fast” and leave them in your bag.
he's just so honored to be your first that he treats the relationship like it’s the most precious thing ever (because to him, it is).
karasu tabito
“wait… seriously?” he raises a brow, not mocking, just surprised.
then he leans back with a teasing grin: “guess that means i get to corrupt you, huh?”
you smack his arm, and he laughs, but quickly softens when he sees you're actually nervous.
“hey… i’m kidding. mostly.” he nudges your shoulder. “you don’t gotta prove anything to me.”
he’s smooth, but chill. sits with you on the floor, back-to-back, talking about random things until you’re comfortable.
if you get shy, he shifts into “calm big brother best friend energy” mode and jokes around to make you laugh.
but then he’ll randomly drop a line like, “y’know, it’s kinda cute being your first. i’ll make it worth it.”
yukimiya kenyu
his first instinct is to reassure you.
“thank you for telling me. i’ll make sure to be extra mindful of how you feel.”
he’s the kind of guy to ask permission before leaning in or even brushing your hair behind your ear.
yukimiya is elegant with his words: “i don’t want to rush something so important. you deserve tenderness, not pressure.”
the type to take your hand gently and rest it over his heart so you can feel how fast it’s beating, too.
absolutely adores the fact he gets to be your first, but never brags about it.
just smiles to himself like he’s memorizing the moment, tucks a piece of your hair behind your ear and murmurs, “you’re doing so well. i hope you know how beautiful you are.”
The fact that quite a few people from Vervunhive got deaf by the artillery bombardment and Dan makes it a part of some of the characters later on is pretty nice. I think he could have given it a bit more room than he actually did in the end, but that it's there at all is already just nice.
