Honestly, just letting him initiate physical affection on his terms is going to be the best path here. Dating Reiji is a bit like walking on eggshells tbh, as much as I love the man And also might get annoyed if you’re too clingy. In private, he might get a little irritated if you’re TOO shy. A clingy s/o who engages in PDA despite his wishes is not going to be a good match. Reiji is under a lot of stress to accomplish his goals and responsibilities as well as uphold the family name. But he does have a reputation to uphold… one that’s constantly dropped by a certain blond violinist. In private, Rejji has the time of his life messing with you. Fellow game fans know he’s not as uptight as the anime makes him seem. He’s the same way, if you replace shy with… uncomfortable? Distant? Outright rude? Reiji is also going to be very pleased with this Also no matter where you are he will be using your thighs as a pillow. In short, you’re basically his ideal partner in terms of affection. If you’re a bit more bold personality wise in other fields, he’s going to be even more pleasantly surprised by your shyness. In private, his touches turn more from teasing to genuine affection (still retaining his iconic brand of playful banter, of course) Around his beloved brothers? He’s draped over you like a 5'11 housecat wearing a cardigan and napping with you on increasingly more public couches. In the hallway at school? Suddenly he’s attending more often and suddenly he’s almost always dropping out of nowhere to pull you against him or bring you into an inopportune makeout sesh in front of half the school. … Unfortunately for you, this means he’s going to do his damned hardest to fluster you every chance he gets Shuu is very into shy, innocent-seeming partners He will definitely find it endearing (and a turn on whoops)
