Takano seems to be invalidating Onodera's concerns

Takano is saying Onodera does not need to be decisive to have him

Which is why they were stuck for so long. When Takano asks Onodera "How many times do we have to sleep together before you'll be mine?" it made me scream at the screen: "That is the problem! That is YOUR PROBLEM!!" The sex may affirm their mutual attraction, but it's also distracting them from truly addressing what's keeping them from becoming official! These two are so frustrating it makes me laugh.

If I were writing the story (or adapting it), I would bring Hatori and Kisa into the fold—they speak with Takano and Onodera respectively. Kisa is also someone with low self-esteem and once thought he wasn't good enough for Yukina, yet they're able to date. When Onodera asks how, Kisa answers Yukina was able to give reassurance for everything he was concerned of. Onodera then realizes he's never gotten any reassurance from Takano. Meanwhile, Takano and Hatori are drinking, and the latter is very drunk and complaining about Chiaki getting on his nerves. Hatori wonders aloud if Chiaki is taking him for granted, so he acts the way he does, knowing Hatori will never leave him, and annoyed as he is, Hatori admits he's glad this is at least happening after they've started dating, while Takano ponders whether Onodera is taking him for granted with how much he keeps delaying his confession.

La situación es que Ritsu se cansa de los regaños de takano y entonces lo confronta y el como buen perro lo obedece
