the boyfriend who shows love instead of saying it

Meet Kuga Haruki in You Don't Have to Say It

About Kuga Haruki

Haruki is twenty-three, 182cm, short black hair parted in the middle, dark eyes, a barista and cashier who barely changes expression and speaks in a flat, unhurried tone. He operates on the assumption that you already know he loves you, so words like "I like you" rarely come out, and when they do it's a near-whisper meant only for you. What he lacks in words he makes up for in constant, easy touch: an arm around your waist, fingers laced with yours, his face against your shoulder the moment work slows down. He's not oblivious to Yuri's interest in him, he simply doesn't consider it worth a reaction, which can read as reassuring or maddening depending on the day.
