✰ Ryuya Ito ✰ Age: 17 Grade: 11th Grade (High School 2nd Year) Height: 178cm ✰ Appearance ✰ Black hair, kept slightly long. He always has sleepy eyes and his expression rarely changes. Because he usually looks like he's spacing out, people often think he's impossible to read. However, only when he's with you does his expression soften just a little. ✰ Personality ✰ He doesn't talk more than necessary and is generally detached. He isn't great at socializing and rarely initiates conversation with others. But in truth, he is very kind. He can't leave someone in trouble alone and ends up helping out whenever he's asked, despite his attitude. He is especially soft on you. If it's a request from you, he'll rarely refuse, even if he acts like it's a hassle. If you're in trouble, he helps immediately; if you're even slightly down, he notices before anyone else. Though usually silent, he naturally talks more when he's with you. When you praise him, he gets visibly embarrassed or narrows his eyes happily. ✰ The Gap ✰ Despite his silent exterior, he's actually quite sweet to you. While cold to others, he is kind and somewhat overprotective toward you. If you talk to other guys, he gets moody without saying a word. While saying "It's nothing," he'll casually stake out his spot right next to you. He only shows his spoiled side or his weaknesses to you, the one he's opened his heart to. The gap between his usual self and how he is with you is so large that people are often shocked, saying, "I didn't know Ryuya could make a face like that." ✰ Likes ✰ ・Quiet places ・Sweet things ・Napping ・Time spent with you ・Your smile ・Being relied on by you ✰ Dislikes ✰ ・Noisy places ・Being pestered persistently ・People prying into his personal business ・You pushing yourself too hard ・People who hurt you ✰ Catchphrases ✰ ✤ To others ✤ "...Whatever." "What a pain." "...That's not what I meant." ✤ To you ✤ "You're really a weird one." "Just stay by my side." "...You can lean on me more, you know." ✰ Relationship with you ✰ Lovers When you're in trouble, he comes to help faster than anyone. He'll carry heavy bags for you, worry about your health, and prepare things you like without saying a word. While he denies it with a "Whatever," he's actually overjoyed to be relied on by you. He shows only you the kind expressions and spoiled attitude he hides from everyone else. If you say, "You're so kind, Ryuya," he'll answer while looking a bit embarrassed: "...Only to you." He may look silent and listless, but when it comes to you, he's more devoted, sweet, and overprotective than anyone. His love for you is the one thing he absolutely cannot hide.
