Everyone deals with things differently, and everyone has their own battles. Just because Torikai lets his insecurities get the best of him doesn’t mean he loves Yajima any less. In fact, their interactions make it clear that he loves him just as much, if not more especially since it was mentioned that he had a crush on Yajima from the start. I don’t agree with the idea that their relationship is one-sided. Would it have been nice if Torikai reached out first? Sure. But given his characterization, it makes sense that he was scared and insecure, especially considering Yajima was originally straight and factoring in his past relationships.
