Another excellent way to make him shy would be checking on him to see if he had gotten enough sleep the night before. He did have a dreadful habit of getting bags under his eyes from staying up far too late.

If your finger touches his skin just slightly, it makes his whole body seize up and his bashfulness runs amok.

Little touches like that, be it brushes of your hand or a bump of your shoulder, it really does make his heartbeat pick up.

Otherwise, the quickest way to make him shy would be by complimenting his excellent cooking. Ashe loves to cook for you, more than anything. He tries to cook every meal of the day for you if he could, but he also knows that’s not always possible.

That’s what makes your compliments to the chef even more special. He loves waiting for your first bite (particularly when you’re trying something new). 

You’re always so happy to see him light up, knowing he’s always so excited to see your reaction to something as simple as his cooking.

You make sure to give your compliments to the chef; once in the kitchen, and later in the corner of your office. 

That makes him terribly shy (and wildly happy).

Felix: What doesn’t make him blush when you’re involved?

For all his bluster and posturing, Felix is an incredibly shy person. He finds it difficult to do even basic relationship things, such as embrace or hold your hands when you’re in public.

He shoots glares at Sylvain all the time, out of sheer jealousy because he’s able to flirt so openly with his partner.

Yet here Felix is, head over heels in love with his wife and can’t do a damn thing about it!

Of course, he does his best to make this up to you in private, but he finds a blush rising on his cheeks even when it’s just the two of you.

If he can’t hold your hand, he finds his heart skip a beat when you're playing with the young children, or petting the church strays (especially when you’re surrounded by the cats…it’s just so damn adorable).

But nothing is more blush-inducing than watching you spar. If he gets to observe you duel with someone else, it makes him more shy than when you cross blades with him. Mainly because he doesn’t have to focus on winning, but rather, he can watch your movements.

You’re so elegant and poised, and every attack is merciless in its calculation. You’re an incomparable fighter, and watching you absolutely destroy Dimitri in a fight is enough to make his heart sing.

He’s hot around the collar and blushing like mad by the end of a battle, and if the Boar is your opponent, he struggles to keep down his swelling pride and his extremely embarrassing blush.

It’s just impossible for him to think you saw a cold hearted, snappy little brat like him and thought he’d be someone worthy enough to call your husband.

It was an honor he held dear every day, even if he stammered trying to admit it.

You know how he feels, though. A quick kiss on the lips and a tousle of his hair brings out that shy red flush all over again.

Ignatz: He really wants to be more daring, but he finds himself hiding behind his canvas and trying (failing) to capture a perfect portrait of your beauty.

The main reason this is impossible is, whenever you offer to pose for him, he keeps staring at you….and staring, and staring, and….well, it’s bad for his heart.

Part of what makes you so happy to be with him is when you’re giving him little tender touches. His face always lights up in such a bright red blush, it’s adorably sweet and innocent.

Your husband is always doing his best to follow your lead, trying to go for your hand when you’re out for a stroll together. But you seem a step ahead and grab his hand before he even has a chance. 

If you knew how many sketchbooks he had that were just filled with your visage, he would surely die.

But he found himself sketching you absentmindedly so often, it would be less of a risk for his drawings to be found if they weren’t scattered around randomly, but condensed into one of his many sketchbooks.

He gets flustered whenever you ask him what he’s drawing if you happen to be nearby.

A quick, stuttered excuse is deemed acceptable for you to dismiss any concerns, which lets him breathe a sigh of relief. He would be absolutely panicked if you discovered just how many drawings of you he had!

He’s shy enough as it is; he wouldn’t know what to do with himself if you found out just how much he absolutely, totally adored you.

And while it wouldn’t be all that bad if you did, he knew he wouldn’t be able to live down the teasing that would follow.
