you can tell he’s been reading by the effort he puts into being romantic, trying out different affection styles before you finally sit him down and tell him to do whatever feels natural to him.
from what he’s determined in conversation with the other sins asking meliodas would be even worse, so he decides to check with elizabeth first before finally settling on romance novels. he makes the mistake of asking ban first, and ends up getting a lot of advice that is kinda….awful. GOWTHER has no idea how to go about being affectionate beyond holding your hand.
