yuta, who always feels coddled and overprotected by hinata to the point he feels inadequate and lashes out sometimes and just wants to be seen as an equal, who wants to feel like he's not being left behind or having to play catch-up all the time.

kohaku, who always feels coddled and overprotected by his sisters to the point he feels inadequate and lashes out sometimes and just wants to be seen as just as capable as the rest of his family, who wants to feel like he's finally a real person and a real part of society, even if he has to take on numerous burdens to do so.

GRIPS THEM. LOOKS AT THEM WITH A BIG MAGNIFYING GLASS.

the only people who know about his crush are hinata, shinobu, kaoru, rei, and nagisa (he only told shinobu, the others found out on their own).

kaoru and nagisa, being his roommates and friends, try to give him advice which sometimes works (kaoru) and sometimes doesn't (nagisa). kaoru also tastefully teases him about his crush, though he makes sure never to take it too far.

rei offers cryptic advice while also playing wingman, as he wants to see his "beloved child" happy.

shinobu's super supportive, though he has no clue how to help as he's completely oblivious when it comes to things like romance.

hinata's the worst, trying to play wingman all the time and not being subtle about it at all. yuta's surprised and grateful that kohaku hasn't found out about his crush despite all of hinata attempts to get them together (including but not limited to: shoving them into a locker together, inviting crazy:b to have dinner with 2wink, complimenting kohaku and saying it was from yuta, etc).

their fs1s look so good together 🥺
