warnings: talks of self-harm

𝐒𝐡𝐮If you somehow made this man walk and talk just to get your attention, you need to RUN because his failed talking stages are AFTER you.

Music is obviously the way to go for this man. He hears you talking to someone about a song you can't remember but it's on the tip of your tongue? He'll make his own version using the snippet of the melody you hummed to your friend. You're checking out the soundtrack for a video game? Best believe he'll try his best to navigate Youtube because he's a little shriveled boomer on the inside; just so he can see what he's got to work with.

Shu trying to impress you is unfortunately not the best experience though. Because Shu heavily relies on his hearing to surprise you later on, there might be moments where he'll audibly spy on the things you're listening to. If you're listening to an artist on Spotify or YouTube, there might be a good chance that Shu's in the vicinity, analyzing his best tactics to approach you.

After all that effort, Shu will prepare a private one-on-one live solo of all the things he's studied about you. The genre you lean towards, the scale that often appears in the things you've listened to, his shirt being slightly undone in the chance that you stop focusing on him and start focusing on his body, all that topped off with cheap flowers and his violin - just to have a chance at impressing you.

𝐑𝐞𝐢𝐣𝐢Being a perfectionist, Reiji needs lots of time to prepare on how he'll steal your attention and completely fixate on him. The issue with him is that he doesn't want to admit he's putting all of this effort for you. So there's a mental battle before Reiji finally settles on the fact that he wants to impress you.

Subtle. In the beginning, Reiji's quite subtle and his demeanor towards you seems more lenient. But as his meticulous planning and patience grow thin, he'll become more obvious to the point where he's become 'nice', or as nice as Reiji can get.

Being a handicraftsman, Reiji will try to impress you using his knowledge and how far his dexterity can go. In simpler terms, he wants to show you how lucky and skilled he is for you if he was yours. But in return, you have to notice his efforts before his pride and inferiority complex gets in the way. Expect complex origami cranes on the areas you frequent that get more and more convoluted after each day passes.

Flower arrangements flooded with hidden meanings, inviting you to go tea shopping with him, night walks to the museum because he knows your favorite bakery's nearby, asking you if you need help in a specific subject, he's simple when he needs to be and extravagant when the situation calls for it.

LOVES when you get giddy over the things he does. He hides it quite well but when you tell him about how pretty the paper cranes are or how you want to go tea shopping again because you want to learn more about Pu-erh tea he's been talking about? His ring finger's bare.

𝐀𝐲𝐚𝐭𝐨Invites you to all his basketball games and you're the best seat possible. Might end up scoring less because he's hyper-focused on looking his best, rather than performing his best.
