GRABS you. toma x ryoga post??? do you have moreβ¦.π
(i learned my lesson and am answering this on desktop instead of my phone....)
YESSS, here is more content!!
toma visiting ryoga in prison and being like "omggg we should totally kiss through the glass like in all the movies!! itd be so romantic!" and ryoga is like "no" and toma pouts like "why...." and ryoga tells him its corny af and the glass is dirty
everyone sees that ryoga is talking to toma, a total cutie, and ryoga is immediately questioned about it by the other inmates... ryoga only gives simple, vague answers so it doesnt complicate things. "ryoga, how did you score a model??" "dont ask me." "are you guys gonna get hitched when u get out??" "hell if i know." "isnt he in a rival unit?" "yeah." so on and so forth.
ryoga is actually super embarrassed that word got around about toma so fast, and it is VERY VERY OBVIOUS that ryoga caught feelings for toma. like, he gets all fidgety and stuttery and blushy around toma. he got put in solitary for a week because, on a whim, ryoga attacked someone who had the guts to shittalk toma in front of him. ("i really dont know what he sees in that guy... men who wear makeup and have hordes of girls falling all over themselves just to meet them honestly piss me off. prettyboy types are just annoying, yknow?" ......and then ryoga is grabbing that guy by the throat and flinging him across the room like he weighs nothing. lol. the guy suffered broken body parts and ryoga was lucky his sentence wasnt extended.)
toma does NOT make a spectacle of visiting ryoga. he very much wants to keep it private. the only one who knows is shogo. when ryoga is at the sharehouse instead, he sneaks out to see toma. toma is super busy usually, and only sees him at night, after his photoshoots are over for the day... again, its very hush-hush, and shogo often makes excuses for toma when he isnt back in a timely manner... (kantaro is always asking where hes at bc hes nosy)
aoi & kantaro kinda figure out toma is with someone when toma sneaks back in in the morning after being with ryoga, his hair a different style than when he left. (ryoga knows how to do different hairstyles because he did it for his mom AND shion. he'd do it for kenta too except kenta doesnt like his hair done up. in his mom's case, he'd even cut it for her.) aoi probably questions shogo in secret like "you know something dont u....." and shogos nerves make him nauseous and hes like "uhhh whatever do u mean :)" but its clear that he is About To Puke
toma doing ryogas nails and makeup. and no not just plain black nails. and no not just eyeliner. he doesnt stop until ryoga is decked out. theres something intimate about doing the makeup of someone else! and if someone even so much as laughs under their breath at ryoga when they see his nails (usually pink or sparkly white, with charms attached!), ryoga feels entitled to AT LEAST give them a dangerous look. a look that says "if u say anything, im going to beat the shit out of you."
no but actually toma is very reserved about having ryoga see him without makeup... toma is thinking, "he def wont like me anymore if he saw me plain-faced..." and he absolutely cries a little bit when ryoga eventually does see him with no makeup! toma is super scared and insecure about it, but ryoga is just like "...you still look beautiful to me." and toma calls him a liar through his tears, smiling wryly like "that line is so overdone... be serious." but ryoga is 100% genuine. i think without makeup, theres like... a faint inkling that toma's face USED to be disfigured. yknow? like maybe the texturing is kinda off or maybe there are lines that dont quite belong, but its only really visible if you look hard enough... ryoga is really gentle with toma and lets him cry. "you rely too much on that stuff." is what ryoga eventually says. "you're pretty no matter what." ryoga is thumbing away toma's fresh tears, and toma has never felt as vulnerable as he does in that moment.
