what really bothered me this chapter was shii saying "if you act so horrified, it will hurt my feelings" to guilt trip tamaki into kissing him while knowing full well that he is manipulating him ("if I don't use such strategies now, I'll never get to touch tamaki"). if he's thinking like this now, it's a little worrisome to imagine how far he'll take it with this justification. he's putting his own desires above tamaki's obvious discomfort --- though I guess we can attribute that to shii still being unaware of tamaki's trauma and that his own idea of "physical closeness" has an entirely different impact on tamaki.
I thought it was yet another mark of how honest they are with each other. When Tamaki feels uncomfortable he just says it and Shii says whatever he is feeling. It's very pleasing to read, none of them is hiding anything major. Maybe it's because they are really good friends
