-HiMERU fell in love with Mayoi first, he originally began to observe her because of the fact Tatsumi was so close to her, but quickly found out how interesting she was. He convinced himself that it was only to find ways to hurt Tatsumi by getting closer to her, but truly he found her charming. He observed small habits of hers, her favorite things, things she didn't like, even patterns in her speech. The nail in the coffin was watching her perform her center song with Alkaloid (believe 4 leaves) and being spellbound with how talented she was.

-Mayoi fell in love with HiMERU after him repeatedly being kind and considerate to her. He had gotten close to her and she even somewhat let down her walls around him. The confirming moment was when she was having a panic attack because of how crowded a place was, and HiMERU took action to bring her to a secluded area. HiMERU comforted her and gave her reassuring words, and once she was in his embrace, Mayoi realized she never wanted HiMERU to let go.

-Everyone knew they were in love with each other before they even said anything. Rinne had no shame teasing HiMERU in front of Mayoi about his crush, while Alkaloid more respectfully poked fun at Mayoi during practice when she'd receive a message or call from HiMERU.

-Tatsumi definitely was/is in love with Mayoi, and it hurt to see her in love with someone else, but he wanted to see her happiness more than anything and was thankful that she had HiMERU, who treated her correctly. He even prays quite frequently for the couples happiness and that neither of them receive any harm. He is their #1 supporter (besides OGmeru and Tatsumi can be canon this way 😈)

-They're both absolutely obsessed with each other. HiMERU sees cute things/clothing that reminds him of his girlfriend and if he thinks she'll like it he buys it immediately. He texts her and calls her whenever possible. Not only that but he picks her up from practice to simply walk her to the dorms just to spend some time with her. Mayoi knows exactly how to get to his dorm from any given point in ES through the passageways she uses, and visits him frequently (even from her own dorm, god forbid she uses the hallway). She memorized what he smells like and what shampoo/body wash he uses, she knows his schedule exactly and even reminds him of things if it's needed.

-They bake together frequently. Sometimes they make so many sweets together that they end up having extras to hand out to their units/circles. Alkakurei appreciates it so much that sometimes they request specific things to be baked, Mayoi happily complies and HiMERU complies because he loves his girlfriend.

-Mayoi loves styling HiMERU's hair and playing with it. She frequently uses her cute hair clips and bows on him and takes photos of him afterwards. She also does his makeup sometimes just to top it all off. HiMERU loves seeing her happy and honestly thinks she does great afterwards. He was never one to wear much makeup but he honestly thinks he looks good afterwards.

-Mayoi loves fashion and styling her outfits, with this she'll choose outfits for HiMERU too. They wear matching outfits sometimes and Mayoi takes lots of photos to post on her private social media accounts.

-Mayoi finds it quite fun to post on her socials, especially her private instagram (that only other ES idols are allowed to follow). She frequently posts photos of her and HIMERU on dates/together to show everyone how much she loves him, but in the safest way possible.

-They both love physical affection. Mayoi is very cuddly and whenever it's just the two of them they're barely separated. Sometimes they just sit on one of their beds cuddling and watching something on one of their phones. Or just cuddling and talking together, ignoring everything else in the world (like they frequently do together).

-HiMERU is always there to support his girlfriend at Alkaloid lives. More often than not, he's back stage comforting her and helping her in her dressing room. After she walks onstage he either stays in the wings to watch her perform and to be there when she walks off, or exits to the audience to watch it himself. Either way he always has tickets to every live he can get that she performs in (and vice versa)
