Kowamote no Rinjin ga Ω datta Toki no Taishohou
FINALLY! The amount of time they wasted because both were jumping around a much-needed discussion, hoping the other one would speak up first. Miyanaga became self-conscious the moment he said he wouldn't bite, and from there Kouta couldn't sense him then came the loss of smell because his body was responding to the closing off of his partner first, before his own body was able to pick up the resilience. The way the doctor broke it down and explained it to him sounds like imprinting to me before the physical bond takes place.
