His waiting was out of love not cowardice. And it wasn't until a match up w Suji looked like it
would never happen that he moved in.

I don't know why everyone prefers Masahito, and says that Soji was just a coward. Masahito was cowardly too, he also waited years to confess. And technically Soji confessed first after seeing the hickey, whereas masahito didn't confess until after he heard about Soji's confession and then he immediately went into typical yaoi rape mode. Why anyone thinks he is a better seme is beyond me...
Also, Masahito said he held back so that Yusuke could be happy, but he knew the two of them both liked each other and didn't say anything to either one of them. He also knew the marriage was going to be fake and again said nothing to either of them. He was devious the entire time, just because he waited a decade to make his move doesn't make him admirable, it just makes him a procrastinator, lol....
I thought Soji made mistakes, but he did them with good intentions. His wife was on board with the while fake marriage thing so he wasn't deceiving her. He was trying to save his friendship with Yusuke and make everyone in his family happy. I don't consider that cowardly, I consider it practical. Sad, but practical...
