akinoameYou know, there's ho yay and les yay for hints of gay/lesbian subtext. There needs to be an equivalent for asexuality. Because Gentaro and Godai hit my "a-yay" buttons a lot.
(For the record, my current compilation of Riders I think fall on the asexual spectrum:
Ren: Probably demisexual, but very, very demiromantic
Eiji: Asexual and possibly panromantic
Yusuke Godai: Asexual, aromantic. Though I think he realizes that Ichijou is more than a little gay for him (still a possible grey/demi- sexual/romantic leaning on Ichijou), but they respect each other as friends first and foremost.
Gentaro: Grey-A, grey-romantic. Not the demi forms, as with Ren, who takes a while to form the emotional connection to begin with. Gen takes no time at all to form an emotional connection, but he values people as friends first and foremost, as does Godai. However, he has the occasional sexual or romantic attraction, as seen with Nadeshiko, but it's very rare.)

So when the subject of someone having an attraction to him in a session, something I hadn't figured out how to RP, I just winged it based on your interpretation of Eiji as asexual and panromantic. Thanks for the inspiration!
