Ryuji Matsuyama x fem reader!
A/N Note : This is my first time to write fanfic and English is not my first language, maybe there is weird grammar or word. please don’t mind it (you can point the confused part in the comment, I’ll fix it) - So everything is base on my personally opinion and character in story. I hope everyone enjoy and like it :)
Situation Note : Pre-borderline, after accident and he’s lost his mobility. (that’s why he is so cold and stoic)
Warning : None
First of all, I think the girl who is dating with him is not normal person… I mean maybe she’s his co-worker or his assistant, someone who has knowledge relates to his research. I think he would date with partner who get along with him in this part, not just lifestyle matching or understand what he’s doing but could help him with his work much or less.
Plus, I don’t think you would find him on dating apps or go hit on him at somewhere cafe. ofc, he’s workaholic and spend mostly time of the day in office. he doesn’t even use phone often or waste time to enjoy the meal. although you try to greet and start conversation with him during he is having lunch. he will just nod or answer you with few word then finish his meal, push wheelchair back to his office.
the most possible way of get to know him is offer to help him do the research. This man is yearning for acceptance, at first he’ll pull the guard and watch over you… examine that you’re really interested in the same thing or just do it for other purpose. It have to spend more time to melt the ice wall down. Once he accept, he’ll let you be the part of his project.
When you’re his assistant — there is no space for jokes or flirting. Ryuji is serious about his work. if you try to rizz him while he’s on work, he’s probably annoyed and give you stoic death glance or if it’s too much, he definitely kick you out.
When he start to like you
I think this relationship might starts from appreciate. To start relationship with him requires time to develop his feeling. The moment sparks his appreciate is when you make a point on his research or data he gathered and drive his work forereach with your view. it’s impressed him that your make his struck research headway.
Or even little action that take care him like — always bring him coffee or food, help him organize his papers, tidy his messy room also make him a good feeling in subtle. although at first he would frown and tell you to not make nonsense, but with you intention to do it until become regular thing, deep down he secretly like it and comfortable with it.
The moment that hit his head to realize that he likes you maybe is when you didn’t come to work as usual. You absent for vacation leave or got sick for week. Working alone during that makes him feel.. lonely? Socialize isn’t necessary for him but when you are not around make him feel lack of it.
However, Ryuji is not gonna confess you first.. he won’t show any sign clearly that he has a feeling for you, But if you know him long enough, you will sense little change of his behavior such as he has eyes on you longer than before, slightly move closer when you guy discuss about papers or even call you to work more often — Maybe this is hard to say he’s just workaholic like normal or for the other reason but trust me, you would sense that meeting be more often and each session is not spent efficiently.
Becoming a couple is from someone-who-can’t-keep-the-feeling-anymore ’s confess first. Higher percent to be you. I think this confess will happen when you’re not fully in control. Maybe when you’re high and make a call to him, complaining things with a whiny tone and then sudden blast “Matsuyama-san, Why are you always cute?? Can’t you be my boyfriend right now!? please please pretty??” He’s definitely stunned but also smiles uncontrollably himself —— And after hangover ended with memory came back, you were embarrassed as fuck and tried act like noting happen during the meeting but then he said “Didn’t I accept you last night, Love?” in the teasing tone you first time heard… you’re fluttered like a tomato.
And for him to be the one who give confession first. I would say the situation will happen if he has a rival. As a silent crush, Ryuji never tries to fight for your attention, he just moves smartly in his turn. So the occasion to confess is comes when there’s a risk that your feeling might wave to someone else. One day that rival plans to ask you out to watch the meteor shower with bright full moon at night together. Sounds romantic, special situation might be happened. But before that, Ryuji appoints you to stay work on late night — alone together with warm coffee in his office. That night after work is done, He acts a little weird that suddenly suggests you watch meteor shower though the window. Cozy atmosphere with precious view, then he speaks with calm tone “Y/N, would you be my girlfriend?” Well, he’s not good at romantic stuff but he knows this is work. And he’s right, you’re already blushing and melting beside him. [Don’t ask me how did he know about rival plan ;)]
When in relationship
Involve to be in relationship with him doesn’t change much than before. It’s not flashy, cheesy or exposure like a puppy love. With Ryuji, he doesn’t make many affection or sweet talk, but all of taking care actions he gives you are subtle with intimate. He doesn’t touch you, call you with pet name or flirt and make you blush often. Said, his love languages are Act of service and Quality time.
Start dating with him, at workplace, you guys doesn’t announce about your relationship but doesn’t cover it neither. When someone asks about it, you just answer. On work hours you guys work on your own work, acting like usual. But lunch time or space time, mostly you always spend time in his office watching him work, or some occasion you have lunch together in random restaurant.
Having lover teaches Ryuji to depend on someone, both give and receive caring and helping. Still, Ryuji has the side of independence. There’re parts of himself he wants to carry his own — mostly about his mobility. He doesn’t want you to help him everything, such as pushing his wheelchair or help him lifts the pile of papers to lecture room. Anything he could do when he was single, he doesn’t want you to do for him instead. He feels uncomfortable. Directly he doesn’t want to be seen as weak in you eyes.
Even though he always handles things his own but sometimes like if he sees someone is flirting with you or you are playfully talking with someone else too long, He will immediately say “Y/N, Can you push me to my office?” — and stay still, waiting you to move to somewhere else with him. Yes, that is a slightly sign that he’s upset and want your attention back.
Ryuji rarely jealous - rather be slightly upset more than jealous directly.(He beliefs that) But when he is, he will show possessive side by call you with pet name which obviously romantic like ‘Love’ ‘Darling’ to claim you in front of others . Saying with calm tone and stoic expression but his gaze is already be death glance. Or with you he will give sarcasm but no real bite. He likely be jealous when things cross boundaries obviously like Someone tries to hit on you though you said you have a boyfriend, or when you mention someone too often and seems too close. Other than big case he will just upset and doesn’t mind that much.
Outside of work, you would see more part of him. When he works out (your fav view), he reads a book, he cooks meal for you, he does other chores. This man is fine in every act he does — you love to watch him. Spending time with him usually in silent. you guys don’t talk often but it’s not awkward, rather be comfortable. And he loves watching you too —— but he prefers to sneak gaze to you when you focus on something or space out into your own thoughts. Your serious expression is quite sexy for him.
Physical touch isn’t often. It’ll happen with unconsciously or emotionally. First will be lightly touch like — lean on each other when watch or read something together, hold hand during have a deep talk or share some emotional opinion. Touching hard will happen when something happens and make him feels down like — He is disappointed from be rejected about his research or tired so much from no progress research. You’ll give him tight hug and back patting to comfort him. His fav cuddle when he feels down is laying on you with burying his face to your chest. Hear me out - First time when you offered this, he would give you a lift brow like ‘Seriously?’ and expression like ‘No way’, but when he tried that it comforted him — warm, sweet scent and feel nice. It turns to be his fav cuddle that when he looks at you more than 10 sec, you know he’s asking for this.
Kissing and Word love- Both of them he doesn’t give you often. his kiss or word love wouldn’t be on routine such every morning when leaving or goodnight one before move to dreamland. I think he will kiss and say ‘love you’ on special occasion such celebrating time or in good romance vibe situation. Ryuji will use them when he thinks it’s meaningful time. rarely chance to be for playfully —— Except on the bed I think his guy loves to kiss along your body, mostly face, neck or chest :] (it can be cuddle - what do you think?? 😈)
Lastly, Giving gift. Buying something for you mostly is casual things like paying meal or a cup of coffee. Buying gift for surprise you is not usual thing for him. It would be on Anniversary or Birthday. If he has to buy, he will buy something he knows you’ll use it, he cares about functional and really necessary for you. Not quite a big bouquet or big plushie and other romance symbolic stuffs. Except you want it. And the giving way is so straight — No amazing surprise method, usually just hand them to you. Or the best surprise he can give is place in the drawer and wait you to found it. He literally not good at this.
For him to be receiver. Well, he doesn’t expect any gifts but when you give it to him, first reaction is confused — he just takes it and opens to see what it is in same stoic expression and thank you, No special comments about it. But when he’s alone and see your gift on the desk, he always has slightly smirk as he reminds your little disappointed frown and pout when you failed to make him reaction — it’s cute. And if you give him something he always uses like fountain pen, watch, tie etc. Your gift immediately replaces his old one.
Congrated and thanks for read until the end --- I know it's too thick and long, haha.
