Kyouya's got one of those classic fake-dating-turned-real storylines. When Erika first pitched the idea of pretending to be a couple, he played along at first—all charming prince vibes. But that didn't last long. He quickly flipped into blackmail mode, basically making her his personal "dog" and messing with her constantly. The thing is, somewhere along the way his actual feelings caught up with him. He started genuinely caring about her, got jealous whenever she got too close to other guys, and developed this whole protective streak. It's the kind of slow-burn character shift fans really eat up in these kinds of stories.
