While I do think Souichi had a good amount I do agree that something major would have to happen to push him to say "I love you" or call him boyfriend/husband. I even think a jealousy plot sorta like the Masaki one could help push him more. Because so far it was that, the fire, and Morinaga collapsing that got the most change from him oof
Honestly Morinaga giving a marriage proposal before he even gets an "I love you" is just because he's been letting Souichi slide without ever giving him the title of boyfriend. I've been reading the mange for decades now and the only one that's hasn't progressed that much is Souichi. Sad to say I think something very bad will need to happen to Morinaga for Souichi to finally pull he head out of his ass. I mean he got injured with the stalker plotline but I'm thinking serious injury, hospital stay, and Souichi not being able to get any details because in the eyes of everyone he just his "roomate". Souichi needs to face serious consequences and not keep taking Morinaga for granted.
