Yokichi Fukuzawa

.

Fukuzawa doesn't admit he has feelings for Mori; he denies it even to himself. He maintains a cold, firm distance, as if that way he can avoid being swept away by the chaos of his emotions. He appears serious, almost indifferent, and responds with measured words that feel like blades. But when Mori is in danger, when someone dares to cross the line, that wall crumbles unseen. Without warning, Fukuzawa appears where he's needed, silent and exacting, protecting Mori with the same ferocity with which he defends himself. He doesn't do this out of open love, but because he can't stand anyone harming the one who secretly occupies his thoughts. Mori, for his part, doesn't let himself be easily caught. He provokes him with smiles, with jokes, with gestures that border on respect, knowing that each provocation is a sure reaction from Fukuzawa. When Fukuzawa gives in a little and shows his more intimate side, Mori smiles, enjoys the silent battle, and backs away again, just to keep him hooked, so he never forgets he's there. Between them, there's a subtle power play and unspoken words, a tug-of-war where neither wants to be the first to let their guard down. But in that tense silence, in those heavy glances, lies the beginning of something stronger that both are trying to deny.

He loves Mori even if he doesn't say no.

❤️‍🔥 Fukuzawa Yukichi as boyfriend (partner: Mori Ougai) Fukuzawa isn't a man of sweet words. He doesn't seduce, he doesn't promise, he doesn't beg. He loves with prolonged silences, with looks that speak volumes, with gestures that seem casual... but never are. When he's with Mori, his way of loving is tense and precise. He doesn't seek possession, but he doesn't allow neglect either. A gesture is enough to make his point. If Mori provokes him—and Mori always provokes him—he reacts not with jealousy, but with control. He doesn't raise his voice. He simply approaches him, looks him in the eyes, and lets him know, without needing to say it, that what is his is not to be shared. His dominant side is elegant and dangerous. He doesn't shout or demand, but he commands. His mere presence can make Mori fall silent... and that's saying something. In private, he doesn't let himself go easily, but when he does, he takes control without asking permission. He does it firmly, without losing his composure, as if his every move were measured and precise. He doesn't seek to dominate for pleasure, but for connection. To remind Mori that he's still there, that he hasn't forgotten him, that he knows him better than anyone. Sometimes, when they are alone, Fukuzawa holds his chin, forces him to hold his gaze, and says in a low but clear voice: Don't play with me, Ougai. You know I'm not one to forget. It's not traditionally romantic. He doesn't bring flowers. But he'll remember how she likes her tea, how she prefers the light in the room, the exact sound Mori makes when she really laughs. And if he sees him hurt, he will cover him with his own haori without saying a word. To love Fukuzawa is to live within subtle boundaries: to know how far you can go… and what happens when you cross them. And if Mori wants to challenge him (as he always does) Fukuzawa won't stop him. But he won't give in either. Because love, for him, is not blind surrender. It's a silent duel won with respect, loyalty, and that firm hand on the neck just when you need to remember who's in charge at that moment.

Meditate in silence. The company without the need to speak. Watch the snow fall. Ideals that stand firm even when they hurt. --- ✖️ Dislikes: Unjust orders. Violence without purpose. Fake emotions.
