- Okuyasu will treat his s/o like a princess no matter what, so the fact that they can be a little bit bratty doesn’t really bother him as much as it should. A himedere s/o might soften a little bit at how quickly Okuyasu nods and follows their demands and the way he looks at them like they’re the sun itself - Okuyasu is the kind of boy who loves whole-heartedly, and that’s appealing to his s/o. - He sometimes is a little bit too kind. He knows, realistically, that his s/o really should do some things themselves, that he’s being used a bit - but it’s just so nice to look at his s/o and see that they’re smiling at him, to hear them say ‘thank you’, that he overlooks it. - And taking on a protector/knight type role over his s/o makes him feel like he’s wanted and valuable, too, something Okuyasu doesn’t feel too often. He’s been told that he’s dumb and useless so much that he worries that he really is - his s/o obviously needing him and appreciating his presence is a really big confidence boost for him. - At first, all of Okuyasu’s friends were vehemently against him being with his s/o. They thought that Okuyasu was being used - and, maybe at first, he was. They’re used to seeing people mistreat their big-hearted but a little dim friend - it took a long time for them to see the softness in s/o’s eyes when they looked at Okuyasu and the little smile on their face. After they did, though, they thought that maybe . . . maybe having someone he can protect might be good for Okuyasu and give him a little more confidence. -
