The understanding, the care, the consent, the caution. I love it, he’s such a green flag. Though why is he surprised that she didn’t notice his feelings when all he did was be mean and annoying? Arizumi discovers that women do not like to be bullied, what a shock. I like though how even when he got “rough and excited” he still was ready to stop if she really wanted to, that he doesn’t pass by that word like most in smut do. Really good read.
