SHIN
❤️ LOOK--you're going to have to be a bit thick skinned if you want to make dating Shin work. He's not saying you're a crybaby (or maybe he would in jest/annoyance), but he is looking for someone that can understand he's just a person that sees no point in sugar coating things
❤️ If you can understand that his rudeness are just words, you two are going to get along great! His blunt nature may seem like a turn off, but it does come with a pro: You can bet that Shin will be an honest boyfriend!
❤️ He honestly prefers dates outside. Shin wants to be able to do something with you, and he sees coming back home after a long day with you (whether or not you two are living together) as a way to unwind and relax from it
❤️ Not a big fan of PDA, but his affection is almost like a bottle of champagne that cannot be opened in public. Bottles up wanting to cuddle you when other people are around, but at home, it opens and he tightly hugs you and gives you passionate kisses
❤️ Oh, and don't tease him about blushing being flustered. He may tease you, but man gets embarrassed when you reciprocate it. He'll look away and give you 'the back treatment' if you two are lying down together. A tiny part of him honestly enjoys the playful banter though even though he will never admit it
❤️ It really doesn't matter how busy you guys are. Work, school, band practice, etc. Whenever you two have time, he always gravitates to you. He's not necessarily clingy, but quality time is one of his main love languages
TOMA
♦️ Toma is a darling boyfriend, albeit if you can handle his overprotective side. After the cage incident, he promised you he would never do anything against your will, but that doesn’t mean his possessive side cooled down
♦️ That being said, protective Toma is always on duty. You both know it's out of a place of care, but he does get carried away with it. Especially after what Ikki's fan club did to you, Toma is certainly not someone you want as your enemy
♦️ As long as you reassure him that you're safe love him, his caring and reliable nature shines. The type of boyfriend that treats you like a princess. Buying you gifts, running you warm baths, cooks for/with you, bridal carries to the bed when you fall asleep on the couch, etc. Man is a sucker of domestic life!
♦️ Easily jealous, though I'm pretty sure this is a given. Always needs to have an arm around your waist and his free hand holding yours. He acts sweet with anyone flirting with you, but a bit too sweet that it's highkey lowkey scary, ya know? As for someone flirting with him, he flat out ignores them. They're not worth his time
♦️ Dates can be as simple as grocery shopping together or going to a new theme park. Man could make anything a date as long as he's with you
♦️ The type of boyfriend that makes you want to stay ill so he can keep taking care of you. Toma is great when it comes to tending to others, especially when it comes to you. With how sweet he is, helping you sit up as you take medicine while he's checking your temperature, you never knew being sick could feel this good
IKKI
♠️ Despite his playboy status, Ikki is truly kind and caring person. After what you had to experience with his fan club, Ikki promised you that he would never make you feel upset again. Especially concerning those girls
♠️ Ikki tends to bottle up a lot of his problems from you. Not that he doesn’t trust you, only because he doesn’t want to worry you. You’re going to have to reassure him that you want him rely on you, and slowly but surely he’ll open up more. He’ll honestly enjoy having this talk more than you think, since he’s finally being honest with himself and you
♠️ Dates are something straight out of a movie. Well that, and his behavior in general. Kisses your hand, carries your bag, opens doors for you, etc. the gentleman act doesn’t budge when you two are in public. I see you, Romeo 🤭
♠️ PDA is a bit on the bolder side when comparing him to the other LI’s. He wants the world to know you’re his and vise versa. Plus, kissing in the rain while you’re wearing his jacket? Very Ikki esc if you ask me!
♠️ While he already advised you to steer away from his fangirls, Ikki enjoys going out on dates with you. Most of them are very romantic, the type you would read straight from a romance novel. Late night dinners, cafe dates (he prefers them either early in the morning or late at night without many people nearby), moonlight walks, movies, etc.
♠️ Watch him play pool or come see him shoot darts! He’s a bit of a show off when it comes to impressing you, but only because he wants to see you swoon over him. You’re the only girl that never let his eyes affect you. While he appreciates it, it also means he tries extra hard to see that adorable awe struck face of yours
KENT
☘️ Hey now....Kent is a good boy! He's just inexperienced when it comes to romance, but the important part is that he tries! He canonically turns to research asking Ikki for advice when it comes to trying to be a good boyfriend for you
☘️ Being inexperienced, he comes off as an awkward boyfriend, but hear me out! If you like guys that are easily flustered but tries their best in spite of their stiff nature, you will love Kent as your partner! He's hardworking and diligent, and with time, those become qualities that you will adore
☘️ I wouldn't be surprised if Ikki taught him flirtatious lines to tell you, but Kent messes them up. Even just saying you look nice in your outfit is better than....whatever he was trying to say. You already knew Kent can come off as insensitive when it comes to his poor communication skills, but he means no harm when wanting to have a positive connection with you
☘️ Invites you to his lab often and shows you his plants. He would really like for you to grow them together, but he'll subtly help you if you're having trouble tending to them. And by ' subtly help', I mean just tending to them himself when you aren't looking. Shhhh, you don't have to know!
☘️ Kent is indifferent about PDA. He doesn't dislike nor like it. He gets flustered if you try to kiss or hug his arm in public, but when he gives 'affection' it's more out of logic. May you hold the umbrella too so it's easier to cover both of us from the rain? Can I hold your hand since your fingers are cold from the weather?
☘️ When you're not in his lab, dates usually consists of talking walks or visiting museums. He's more than happy to just stay home with you since it's at a more laid back pace, but how about you two read together instead of him making you do math? *sighs*
UKYO
🃏 Dating Ukyo is an absolutely wonderful thing. Seriously, you have yourself a keeper! Like Toma, he's another darling partner, just minus the overprotective posssessive nature. After losing you several times, Ukyo cherishes and treasures you. You're his love, his muse, his heart and home and everything between
🃏 Ukyo is a relatively clingy boyfriend, but more in a soft way. Just lying his head on your lap, or resting his cheek on your head as he holds you in his arms. He lives for touching you, caressing you near him. Especially when he's busy with work, he makes the most of his free time with you
🃏 Speaking of working, come travel with him! He would hate for you two to be separated, so bringing you along with him seems like the best solution. Plus, he'll have photos of you smiling and pointing at different attractions in several countries around the world! It's a win for both of you!
🃏 A true romantic at heart, honestly! He loves picnics and cuddling up with you as you two eat and watch the sunrise/set. Even preparing for it, just packing pastries into a basket and walking to a secluded spot with the perfect view of the mountains is heaven for him. He hates sleeping outdoors, but sometimes he can't help it and may rest his head on your shoulder (just be sure you two don't roll into a nearby lake ;-;)
🃏 He's not the type of get jealous easily. He loves and trust you, but if someone was not giving with flirting towards you, he would gently take you away. You'll realize he's getting pouty and just silently cling onto you more than usual. Reassure him you love him, it won't even take that much words of affirmation. He'll feel better in no time!
🃏 Loves to write poems in his diary about you, the guy might as well be Shakespeare. Gifts you frame photos he took of beautiful landscapes, along with handwritten love poems. He's also the type of boyfriend to leave small notes whenever you wake up, come back from work, about to sleep. On the occasions he has to be separated from you, he'll make sure you still feel loved!
