ˋ°•*⁀➷ FIRST DATE / EARLY RELATIONSHIP
he of all people couldn't blame you at all for being nervous because no matter how anxious you were feeling, he was feeling it 10x worse.
on your first few dates, shin fills the quiet for you, rambling about bikes and old stories so you don’t feel pressured to speak.
he'll definitely notice how you hover close without touching, how your fingers catch on his sleeve instead of his hand, especially in larger crowds, and he lets it happen slowly, patiently, gently.
definetly makes awful jokes and laughs at them himself too to try to help make you more comfortable with him.
would jokingly offer you a cigarette to share with him, saying it helps him calm his nerves so it might help you too.
would keep your pinkies intertwined if thats all you needed, would forget theyre intertwined until you eventually pull away and he feels a cold sensation where your warmth once was.
i feel like he'll never call you shy outright, just because he may be a little nervous if you get upset towards teasing, since you are so shy. he'll just smile, as if he’s been trusted with something fragile.
wakasa wouldn't rush you.
he lets the silences stretch until you feel safe instead of awkward, grounding you with quiet glances and subtle touches.
he notices every nervous habit but never points them out, making space for you to exist exactly as you are.
dates are quiet, unhurried, filled with comfortable pauses that slowly stop feeling like something you need to apologize for.
he notices the way you fidget, the way your voice softens when you’re unsure, and responds with calm steadiness like light touches, grounding glances, and comforting closeness.
would also give you a cigarette to share, or blunt if you're home alone with him.
would keep his arm wrapped saround you in public to not only make sure everybody knew not to mess with you, but to also remind you that he's with you, and that he's not going anywhere.
takeomi keeps things light when you’re first together, cracking jokes the moment he senses you retreating into yourself.
he checks in without hovering, offering reassurance disguised as humor, watching carefully to learn what puts you at ease.
he'll ask if you’re hungry, tired, or cold, never making it obvious that he’s monitoring your comfort.
you notice that he always positions himself just slightly closer when you’re nervous, like he’s bracing you against the world without saying so.
benkei is careful with you in a way that feels intentional, like he’s constantly measuring his presence so it won’t overwhelm yours.
hes is gentle with you in a way that surprises even him.
on early dates, he stands just close enough that you know he’s there, offering quiet reassurance rather than words.
he keeps his voice low, his movements careful, offering silent reassurance rather than words.
he knows he looks a bit scary on the outside, so he'll do anything in his power to make sure you're comfortable around him no matter what.
when you lean against him for the first time, tentative and unsure, he doesn’t react, he ust stays exactly where he is so you won’t feel embarrassed.
𓏲ּ𝄢 late gen black dragons
kokonoi notices your shyness immediately. the way you hesitate before speaking, the way your confidence flickers in and out like it’s testing him.
he chooses quiet, warm places for your dates, places where you don’t have to perform.
he never rushes your silences, never fills them unnecessarily, just watches and listens, intrigued.
when he compliments you, it’s understated, almost careful, like he’s afraid of startling you
you catch him studying you when you’re not looking, already wondering how someone so reserved could make him feel this invested.
kokonoi definitely dials himself back around you, choosing warm, quiet spaces over anything loud and extravagant.
he notices how your confidence flickers in and out. he'll be intrigued by the person he knows is hiding beneath your shyness., so he never pushes, just waits and does whatever he can to show you that you can trust him and be more comfortable with him.
inui is quiet with you, matching your reserved energy instinctively.
may be a bit awkward at first considering how quiet you both would be, but it wouldn't take long for it to fade into a comforting quiet that you can relax and soak up each others presence in.
conversations are slow and thoughtful, never rushed, never forced.
he notices how carefully you choose your words, how you tense when you think you’re being too much, and he responds with steady reassurance rather than grand gestures.
your trust feels earned by him, something precious he refuses to mishandle. when you smile at him, really smile, he carries it with him for days and replays the moment in his head over and over.
taiju is intimidating at first. his presence is heavy, his voice firm, but he surprises you with patience.
he never crowds you, never demands more than you’re ready to give.
instead, he watches quietly, stepping in only when necessary, offering protection rather than pressure.
you learn that his silence isn’t disinterest, it’s restraint.
he knows hes all big and scary, and he prides himself on that, but when you finally relax around him, even just a little, it feels like a private victory.
hakkai is just as nervous as you are in the beginning, stumbling over words, apologizing too much, checking in constantly to make sure you’re okay.
dates are soft and awkward, filled with shy smiles and hesitant touches that feel monumental.
he lights up whenever you initiate anything, even something small, like you choosing to sit closer.
with him, your shyness feels shared instead of isolating.
sometimes he still can’t believe how much you’ve opened up. you sit in his lap without asking, talk nonstop while he works, call him just to hear his voice.
i feel like he wouldn't want you to fully rely on him. relying on each other in a relationship is very important, but he also wouldn't want you to be dependent on him. he'll absolutely love it if he's a part of your safe space, and he'll burst with excitement knowing he makes you happy. but he also wants you to be your own person, and not always about him, him, him all the time. having some independence is good, and he's very adamant about that.
“I’m not goin’ anywhere.”
when you say you need him, shinichiro doesn’t tease you. he just pulls you closer and promises, again and again, that he loves you no matter what.
would burn the world down if you ever felt uncomfortable again, and if he ever did anything to make you uncomfortable after gaining your full trust, he would go crazy and apologize 100x over. buying gifts, words of affirmation, staying with you, anything to let you know how sorry he is that he made you feel like this.
once you open up, you cling to him openly, draping yourself over his arm, laughing louder than anyone expects.
grounds you when you spiral
encourages independence, but supports dependence too.
i honestly feel like he'd take advantage if you ever got too dependent on him. he'd relish the fact that you call him when he's not home and ask where he is. hearing the worry and yearning in your voice just does something to him, and he's not afraid to admit that to himself.
you’re his calm and his chaos
he becomes your calm, never loud, never panicked, always there.
teases you relentlessly now, but listens just as hard
loves how expressive you are
you’re glued to his side, venting freely, leaning into him like it’s second nature.
takes your dependence seriously, proud that when you need stability, you reach for him.
ego boost that you chose him as your anchor
you hang off him shamelessly, loud and animated, using him like a human anchor.
benkei never complains. he just adjusts his stance and smiles more than anyone’s ever seen him smile before.
doesn’t mind you relying on him
provides stability without words
FLOORED by your confidence.
def loves your clinginess
obviously he'll spoil you shamelessly
if you depend on him emotionally, he leans into it. makes you feel secure in every way
lowkey obsessed once you open up, wants to hear you talk about anything and everything, especially the thoughts that run through your head.
shocked by how affectionate you are now, esp if you initiate contact constantly
i also feel like he wouldn't want you to rely on him emotionally. hes used to his independence and might feel a little uneasy being an anchor for your dependacy. of course he'll love it when you feel the need to call him after a long day, an annoying work shift, or just to hear him breath, but wouldn't want it to become an obsessive (?) dependacy.
he becomes fiercely loyal, drops everything when you need him
finds purpose in being needed by you
extremely protective once you open up
Taiju becomes your shield.
you depend on him without fear, bold in private, secure in the way he steadies you instantly.
anyone who threatens your peace doesn’t stand a chance, and Taiju never lets you feel guilty for needing him.
thrives with your affection, you cling openly now and aren't scared to do so.
feels safe being vulnerable because of you
def mutual emotional dependence.
he thrives in your affection, finally comfortable being soft, emotionally attached, and unashamed of how much he needs you too.
got a lil lazy halfway thru </3 but i hope this is good !!
