All Jonathan x Teddy Handshakes and their progress.
Already explained it here, why his handshake was aggressive and controlling, because indeed he was asserting dominance through this handshake, showing Matthew who's the boss. Using both hands and even giving that one little tap on Matthew’s arm before he let go of his hand.
At the gala, Teddy did handshake with both hands too, first he would clasped your hand then gripped your arm with the other. Even going with a little more extra this time because Matthew gave out that playful attitude so a firmer squeeze and a bit of tapping on his upper arm too, this time the tapping increased more than once lol
Third handshake, Just when they're about to part at the gala, Teddy still use that assertive gesture in handshake, using both hands to hold Matthew's hand.
Fourth Handshake, after Jonathan gave his card to Roxana which Teddy snatched lol and kept it away by himself, he excused them to Matthew once again and did handshake again, he was so extra, this time going as far as caressing his arm as he let go. The flirting continues through his touch, he's building pine's tolerance without he even realize it lol Teddy likes playing the long game.
Fifth handshake, this happened at Teddy's Vila, this time he wasn't as aggressive toward Matthew in inviting him in, not using both hands anymore, only 1 hand was enough because Matthew was already on his place, where he wanted him to be, he didn't need to make that extra statement to Matthew who's the boss here, because it's clear, Matthew was on his territory already.
Then their sixth handshake, Matthew is a quick learner, so he kept in mind the way Teddy shook his hand and then tried to mimic his way, here before the signing deal handshake, Matthew also used both of his hands to hold on Teddy, they’re more on the equal footing now, their face become way even closer during this, just to show how much "trust" they have gained with each other.
Seventh handshake and the last, Teddy wasn't in control anymore, Jonathan was the one who was more aggressive in their last handshake, pulling Teddy's hand to his side, and even went as far as invading his space, that they never did before and gave him a kiss on his cheek.
So at the end, it was Pine who win this handshake "war" lol Teddy thought he was training Matthew to get used to his touch or being close to him, while Pine was studying his every move and used all of that against him, one step a head because Jonathan is such a clever spy.
