poor soul

Akechi kisses Ren's neck while Ren mumbles nonsense and makes stupid jokes, all the while holding Akechi close and burying his fingers in his hair. Goro has no choice but to bite every time Ren makes a joke that's not funny. And this makes Ren make more and more unfunny jokes.

In the postcanon, Ren infuriates Akechi - not by doing anything wrong, but simply by being too good a partner in every sense. He cares for Goro and loves him so deeply it makes Goro’s heart feel like it’s going to burst; Ren devotes so much attention to him that Akechi can’t even bring himself to doubt that love. On top of that, Ren is devastatingly handsome, and Goro gets angry every time because he simply cannot resist him.

Akechi is lying in bed in the morning, watching tv while Ren is still asleep but when Ren wakes up, he immediately turns toward Akechi and snuggles up to him, murmuring sleepily and planting kisses on Akechi’s temple, then his cheek, his neck, and his shoulder, simply repeating "iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou" even though he hasn't fully woken up or opened his eyes yet. Akechi, of course, turns to Ren and holds him in a tight embrace, exhaling in a relaxed manner and muttering something like "you should at least brush your teeth" though in reality, he would be unhappy if Ren simply got up and went straight to the bathroom, leaving Akechi without his morning kisses.

Ren is busy covering Akechi’s neck and shoulders with bites and hickeys when Goro’s phone suddenly starts ringing, he can’t help but answer it, and since Ren is too caught up to pull away, Akechi is forced to take the call, trying to sound serious and composed as he declares that he is currently "very busy."

Akechi and Ren lie silently in their bed. Goro has already fallen asleep, being very tired, and Ren is just settling down and about to drift off. He hugs Akechi from behind, burying his nose in his shoulder and once again feeling a surge of love for him. But then Goro begins to mumble something in his half-sleep, as Ren's sudden movement has slightly awakened him. Nevertheless, he covers his hand with his own and squeezes it lightly, which only makes Ren happier. He even decides to ask "how much do you love me, Goro?" and Akechi, being very sleepy and soft, mumbles something like "i love you more than anything in the world, just go to sleep..." and Ren hugs Akechi so tightly that he begins to grumble that he can't breathe.

Akechi is reading a book very intently, because there is a very interesting and tense moment happening in it, but right now Ren becomes clingy and tries to get close to Akechi, kissing and hugging him, sticking to him, and when Goro covers his mouth with his hand, without taking his eyes off the book, Ren bites his palm, and then each finger, and when Goro removes his hand, he begins to chew his cheek and bite in every possible way until Akechi finally turns his head in his direction.

Throughout the game, you can see that Ren has quite a few nervous habits. For example, twirling a lock of hair around his finger or tapping his foot on the floor. And I think in the postcanon, Goro observes Ren's body reactions more often than he'd like to admit, as he still has a habit of bottling up his emotions and all that. So, the next time Akechi sees Ren nervously twirling a lock of hair around his finger, Goro grabs his hand and asks him outright what's bothering him, then touches Ren's hair himself, this time in a calming gesture.

Akechi feels deeply flustered and awkward, yet he absolutely loves it when Ren shows his care in the little things: adjusting his tie or jacket, running his fingers through his hair, or tying it back into a ponytail—a style Akechi sometimes even wears to work. And how incredibly pleasant it feels when, in the evening, Ren slips the hair tie from Goro’s hair right in the middle of a kiss.

Shuake swap au, Akechi exclusively makes bitter coffee in Leblanc and generally considers sweet coffee a crime, while Ren, on the contrary, has a sweet tooth. He comes to Leblanc and always complains to Akechi about the bitterness of the coffee, but still drinks it because he "doesn't want to offend Goro." But in the third semester, when Ren came to Leblanc, Akechi made him sweet coffee anyway, saying something like "My opinion hasn't changed, but your face is so sad I can't bear to look at you anymore." He involuntarily softened, because he wanted to see Ren smile again, even if it was just a little.
