[Hm. That's annoying, for some reason, and Goro wonders what, exactly, he personally wants Ren to do. Does he want him to push more? Continue to press in that overly honest way? Not to accept the way he is, to goad him into affection?
It's hard to do it on his own. He likes it when people present the option to him, so he can choose to take it or not. But having to make the first move feels like he's showing his hand, which is. Admittedly his own fault for feeling that way, because who cares? This isn't his family, where he had to be wary, it's just Ren, who is none the wiser. Who likes him and would appreciate affection sometimes, but knows how he is and is fine with that.
So.
It's difficult, reluctant, but Goro reaches for Ren's hand, fingers curling hesitantly in the space between before brushing against the back of it, then holding it properly. No locked fingers, but this is a start. His face is burning. Don't comment on it.]
