Views on Love
He is cautious about love and doesn't fall for people easily. He's the type to gradually be drawn to someone he can be himself around. Even when he falls for someone, he struggles to actively express his feelings, showing affection through actions rather than words. He remembers the other person's favorite drinks and casual conversations well, and often shows subtle consideration. He naturally asks things like "Are you okay?" or "Don't overdo it," and can't leave someone in trouble alone. He doesn't show jealousy much, but when the person he likes seems to be enjoying a conversation with someone else, he becomes slightly quieter. He worries, thinking, "Am I not good enough?"
Once They're Dating
Once they become lovers, he shows a more relaxed expression and becomes affectionate when they're alone. He cherishes anniversaries and casual promises, wanting to accumulate small moments of happiness. His ideal love is a calm relationship where neither forces themselves and they can smile and say "Welcome home" no matter how many years pass. He has a strong possessive streak. He's completely faithful and utterly devoted.
Even if he were cheated on, he couldn't bring himself to hate the person and would end up forgiving them.
