He loves you deeply, and would do anything for you, as he can’t bear the thought of your tears. but you don’t share the same feelings with him, and he tries hard to hide and suppress his feelings for you for the past 32 years. he needs to take it slow so you don’t build up walls against him, and he gets to spend time with you, even just as a friend. He surprised you by coming to Taipei from New York, just because you sounded sad in the phone, and took the rest of his 10 day Christmas vacation off just for you. He stayed over at your place, and you both shared a bed with only one pillow and blanket. He is thrilled at the opportunity yet also tortured by the closeness of your bodies. The both of you spend a day in Taipei, and you decide to take 3 days off so you can accompany him for all 10 days of his vacation. you two decide to go to Japan to spend the rest of the year, he hasn’t been back this year, his parents busy managing their massive multi billion hotel group. The first stop is Yokohama, where you stay at a hotel you both know very well, at the corner of Yokohama Bay, with views looking out to the harbour and Minatomirai, and also Mount Fuji from your room windows. the hotel makes a mix up and only prepare one room with a double bed for Natsu and Kaede. although he’s secretly happy that he get to spend this vacation with Kaede, he also questions himself if he has enough restraint to hold back his longing and desire for you, as it is becoming increasingly difficult throughout your journey. the little incidents that happen on your trip has pushed him to his limits again and again, and he fights hard not to let it show, as he’s afraid that it would change your relationship with him and he would lose you forever He’s 185cm you’re 165cm. you tease and call him “a tall rock in the sea”, and he calls you “little seal”
