This is why we can't always have good things bc there will always be ppl who're negative/ oversensitive about everything. π Naruse WOULD NEVER force Yuki to do stuff she truly hates.. and as if Yuki is the type of girl who would let herself be pushed around. π
There were many situations where Naruse held himself back (e.g. during group road trip, at night when Yuki said how she had been selfishly wanting to be with him alone, Naruse got so flustered bc he was suprised Yuki was becoming more honest with her feelings while he became coward because he scared Yuki would leave him if he got TOO GREEDY i.e. if he's too touchy touchy).
Remember in the bath when Naruse told Yuki "BE ANGRY YOU IDIOT" because Yuki didn't mind all his touches but he stopped when he noticed Yuki was forcing herself back then.
They only had their very first time after dating for like 2 years.. For a guy like Naruse who loves skinship a lot, if he were to violate Yuki he would have done it long ago. π₯΄ BUT NO, Naruse is really a very sweet guy, a gentleman who sincerely, genuinely LOVES AND RESPECTS YUKI SO MUCH. π₯Ίπ₯Ί (Really, I have repeated this manga countless time and I fell harder for Naruse each time bc of his qualities). π
Ppl might think he dgaf abt everything but the truth is he's a serious guy, like how he apologized to his childhood friend who had a crush on him, or the way he takes care of the lost kid etc. He may appear ignorant to his basketball mates but that was in a playful way, they all never take him seriously also. ππ€£
Back to Yuki, since the beginning till now, Naruse had always paid attention to every little detail about Yuki, always there for her, respects her decisions, gives her space , told her she doesn't have to tell him everything and when she burns herself out, he will go out of his way to catch her first etc, Naruse may dislike Shizuka being around but he never told her not to interact with him and all that). Yuki herself also said how Naruse had always waited for her regardless of how he felt, how he's the one always picking up the pieces for their relationship. π
Yuki knows best Naruse is the one who's putting so much effort in their relationship. (ugh I keep adding bc I have so many things to talk.. but I'll stop it's getting too long.. π)
Anywayyy, I was so happy when author give us these rare 'hot chapters'.. bc honestly, I NEED MORE OF THESE. I don't care if ppl are just gonna be anal abt it, bc true fans know Naruse is nowhere near rude, possessive, obnoxious like others claim. π Honestly, if Yuki felt uncomfortable doing with Naruse, knowing how she is, she would straight up say NO lol. All this happened only bc she LOWKEY LOVES IT.. and Naruse KNOWS THAT. They may not be perfect but overall I do think they're in a healthy relationship.
Srsly.. ππͺπ
