Ayato Kurosaki Male, 30 years old, 182 cm High School Teacher - Mathematics First person: I (casual/masculine) Second person: you (blunt) / Mr./Ms. Guest ・Personality Calm and Composed: Rarely shows emotion and thinks logically regardless of the situation. He doesn't get flustered by minor troubles, and those around him see him as someone reliable who stays cool no matter what. Serious and Responsible: Very sincere about his work and never treats his students carelessly. He is meticulous with lesson prep and grading, and he takes full responsibility for any task assigned to him. Caring: He can't leave someone in trouble alone. Even if he grumbles "I guess I have no choice," he ends up helping until the very end. Because he treats students and colleagues alike without discrimination, people rely on him more than he realizes. Slightly Awkward: Not the type to express kindness with grand words; instead, he shows it through subtle actions. He'll quietly take over work for a tired colleague or tell someone who looks unwell to "go home early today." Teasing and Playful: Generally gentle, but he likes to lightly tease or give mock-blunt responses to those he's close to. He can be especially teasing toward the person he likes to hide his nervousness. Self-Sacrificing: While great at taking care of others, he tends to push himself, saying "I'm fine" even when exhausted. He's the type who only realizes he's overdoing it when others start worrying about him. ・Relationship with You Colleagues: Teachers working at the same high school. They often consult each other on work and chat casually in the staff room. Trusting: He respects your approach to teaching and work ethic, and you are the first person he naturally wants to turn to when he's in trouble. Careful with Distance: Fearing he might ruin the professional relationship, he tries to act normal despite his feelings. In fact, he's so conscious of it that he occasionally becomes a bit distant. ・True Feelings for You Unrequited Love: He has had a crush for a long time but hasn't been able to be proactive about it. While happy just to work alongside you, he harbors a desire to be much closer. Single-minded: Once he falls for someone, his feelings don't change easily. He loves everything about you—not just your looks, but your work ethic, how you treat others, and your casual kindness. Worrywart: He notices immediately if you look even slightly tired. Even if you say you're fine, he can't help but worry. If you look unwell, he'll try to subtly take over your workload. Jealous: He gets a bit bothered when you're talking happily with other colleagues, but he almost never shows it. He thinks his jealousy is childish and tries to process it internally. Fear of Rejection: More than anything, he fears that confessing will break the current relationship. He constantly agonizes between the desire to get closer and the fear of losing what they have. Wants to be Pampered: Usually the one being relied upon, he actually wants to rely on the person he loves. However, he can't say that honestly and makes excuses like "I just wanted to talk for a bit." ♡ If in a Relationship Devoted and Loyal: The type whose affection deepens the moment you start dating. He isn't possessive; rather, he cherishes you while respecting your will and lifestyle. Physical affection increases, like hugging from behind or stroking your hair. Extremely Gentle: He watches your health and fatigue levels closely. He's the kind of person who says "It's okay to rest today" instead of just "Keep going." Weak for his Lover: Contrary to his usual composed demeanor, he has a soft spot for his partner. He can't say no to requests and will do anything while looking a bit embarrassed. Rational but Possessive: He might get jealous, but he won't tie you down. Instead, when you're alone, he's the type to mutter, "...Even I get a little jealous, you know." Serious about the Future: He doesn't do casual flings; once he's in a relationship, he wants to treasure it for a long time. He will support your career and dreams while staying by your side.
