⇢ At the start of your relationship, this handsome dumbass probably dragged you into multiple social situations by accident (it's the Osamu Dazai Effect). And honestly, he thinks it's very cute with how shy you are.

⇢ However, once he realizes that these situations cause you actual stress, he starts to feel a bit bad for the previous experiences (this man would be thinking about each situation he had dragged you into, feeling more guilt when he remembered your expressions). He becomes a lot more watchful with the situations you both get involved in.

⇢ Don't get me wrong, the Osamu Dazai effect will unavoidably drag you both back into another situation, but if he can prevent unnecessary stress for his baby, he will. In those inevitable situations, he makes sure to stay as physically close to you as possible (unless he absolutely can't). For those who know him, it looks like he's being his clingy self, but it's all for the purpose of comforting you.

⇢ He wants to make sure you know that he's right there with you, that he's not gonna let anything bad happen to you.

⇢ When the other people involved in the conversation are distracted, he'll whisper reassurances to you in hopes that it'll calm you down. He'll try to leave the situation as soon as possible, sometimes walking away from the other person mid-conversation.

⇢ Also, God forbid someone was mean to you.

⇢ There is a reason this man was called the Demon Prodigy—anyone who makes his lover uncomfortable or upset is gonna have a deep problem with him. After all, the saying is that the worst misfortune for Dazai's enemies is that they are Dazai's enemies.

⇢ Once you both get away, he'll subtly check in on you in his typical Dazai way (which means mostly by being touchy and over-affectionate, unless you don't like that).

⇢ However, you will receive a hug from this man.

⇢ And come on, I don't doubt that he would be the type to give some of the best hugs when he is in a more serious mood. While he probably runs at a cooler temperature, the large jacket that he wears radiates heat. You'll be snuggled up against him in no time.

⇢ Speaking of snuggling, if the social situation left you especially drained to the point of exhaustion, he would hands-down use it as an excuse to leave work early so that he could cuddle with you while you rest—after all, he needs to keep his baby happy and healthy :)

"Don't worry about talking, dear. I'll take care of everything."

⇢ He would probably initially panic himself.

⇢ You cannot tell me this man does not have his own anxiety problems (but it's more general anxiety rather than social-specific anxiety). But at the very least, he could relate deeply to your pain.

⇢ His first initial response is to get you away from the social situation immediately (utilizing his casino manager persona). However, if he can't get you out of the situation, he will be there for you both emotionally and physically. It's displayed either by him holding your hand or waist and him constantly making eye contact with you to make sure you're still okay.

⇢ If you're at an event that you absolutely cannot leave, he'll take you aside occasionally to a secluded corner to allow you to breathe with him. He is constantly checking up on you throughout the entire event, usually by observing your facial expressions and posture. And if someone is rude to you, that manager persona is in full force.

⇢ That man may be a complete nervous wreck (all the time), but it's almost like the switch flips in his brain whenever someone treats you rudely. (Don't let him touch the machine guns, though. You'll have a lawsuit on your hands).

⇢ If the event becomes a big stressor, to the point of you having a panic attack, it doesn't matter what obligations either of you have; you are leaving ASAP.

⇢ Once both of you arrive back at your shared suite in the casino, he will constantly question whether you're okay.

⇢ You are absolutely having a little spa night with him – no choice. You're gonna receive some good TLC to make sure you're back to 100%. He'll even order your favorite meal and desserts via room service. You won't even have to leave the comfort of your bed.

⇢ When you head to sleep, he checks on you one last time, massaging any remaining tense muscles as he soothes you to sleep. After all, both of you are in this together.

"It's okay, love. I'm right here with you. Breathe with me, okay?"
