Don’t know you’re being downvoted cause you’re completely right. He’s not great at being empathetic at all. And with how he handle his relationship with his father I’m not surprised.
Hozumi CAN open his mouth and say,”Yamato, I feel down.” Or something similar. Most of the time, guys don’t get it. You either have to give it to him straight or he’ll not know what the f is going on.’ It’s a two way thing.
And you’re not wrong but that’s why I used the father example specifically because Yamato jumps to conclusions easily when he’s being “emotional“. He’s a very intelligent man but he’s not consistent. And given he knows his partner well enough he know Hozumi isn’t a normal cry baby. He’s actually knows this. So why now does disregard Hozumi’s nonverbal cues when at this point he’s aware of Hozumi’s relationship with his father and how Hozumi’s behavior entirely stems from his neglect and previous call for attention by being a brat. You’d at least expect Yamato to wrongly guess Hozumi had a fight with his father and from there hope that this would segue to a discussion of Hozumi’s parents in general. But it doesn’t, Yamato just takes it at face value and goes along with the sex. I’m not saying Yamato can read minds but it’s not consistent writing then if Yamato is so capable of reading his boyfriend but now that we’re given a sex scene that emotional judgment is thrown out the widow.
Again though, he can’t read minds 100% of the time. Why is the burden solely put on Yamato? I get it if us girls do that, we are guilty of that, we cry and we don’t talk, and yet, we want our men to get us. ;) But the most important thing is a two way communication Hozumi is a full grown guy. Even in the midst of tears, don’t you WANT your boyfriend to get you? Even if you can’t fully share, at least say something?
My point is, I don’t think Hozumi should be given a free pass just because he’s crying all the time without saying anything. Hope that helps!
cut some slack. he doesnt wanna burden yamato and thats why he doesnt talk. i doubt hozumi wants yamato to worry about him (cultural differences, in japan making someone worry is a “taboo”)
Then cut Yamato some slack too for not being an accurate mind reader lol.
yeah sure but hes crying like a highschool girl during a breakup. even a non-mind reader would notice something’s up and fucking might be a way to escapr his problems
im honestly a little pissed that yamato decided to fuck instead of actually asking what’s wrong. like shit he’s gonna cry over a failed surprise for so long, he should’ve noticed something’s wrong by now.
