[He'd have to set Ren straight about the different kinds of touch later. Consent though-that was pretty dang important.

Mizuki gave Ren's hand a squeeze, before moving his other hand to touch the back of his neck-and stroke it a bit, slow and hopefully reassuring. Couldn't be helped; there was a lot that he needed to learn.

And stiffness needed priority.]

Here. I'll do your head too, if you want.

[Because he looked like he needed some head patting. Comfort was important.]

Oh-yeah, you can always change your mind. If you don't like something or feel uncomfortable, or only want to do a certain thing with one person-you can just say it.

Politely.

Only shout when you need to.

[Which he means...don't be Aoba and yell when embarrassed. Thankfully Ren was a little more chill.]
