â—‡ Thinking about shoto and his love...
Unlike to common belief SHOTO is not dense when it comes to love. Shoto is dense to the social/verbal explainations of love. Because for shoto: everything is direct for him. His words, his actions, his thoughta and his feelings... He does not play around with words or sentences like "butterfly in stomach" / "i feel like im gonna die when i see you"
SHOTO is VERY good with feelings. He just doesnt like to show them without feeling comfortable around the enviroment he is in. Years of abuse and his mothers stiuation teached him to control his emotions and even bury them when he feels like he must do. He is one the most emphatic and respectful person you can ever see but... he will show this side of him only if he feels comfortable with you. If he feels ssfe with you. Especially if he feels FREE with you.
You can see that shoto usually dont use honorofics when he talks, which is weird because anyone else in japan or who talks japanese would thought this is the rudest thing you can do. But after you really get to know shoto... you know that he is the least possible human being to be mean unless he thinks there is an asshole in front of him. Shoto is kind, considerate and gentle, even with Katsuki.
Because for Shoto, verbal actions means nothing unless you show and proof it. He does not believe in kind words like he he believes in kind actions.
So when it comes to love, shoto is the most direct person you'll ever see... the moment he confirms that he loves you and ready for an relationship he will confess his love directly to your face like he is doing a chitchat with you.
And after you accept it... you will see both mix of boyfriend act and courting from him. Because shoto want know you by layer by layer... every details and unique habits you have, so that he can always respect your boundaries and also shares his with you... You would get probably shocked with this side of him after seeing the public side of his general actions.
Yes, he loves 1A and shows his insides a little bit more with his class... but with you, its even more deep. Because after realising his romantic feelings for you, shoto would take some time to decide if he should or should not take a step to you. Mostly because of his trauma with parents, his goals for school and future. But after war... especially seeing his older brother... he would decide that there is no day like today to let himself what he wants to do or enjoy the moments with the people who is in his life.
Shoto is passionate. In everything. His goals, his studies, his revenge, his feelings... anything im his life. Because once shoto is sure about something, ANYTHING, he will do his best towards it.
So naturally, he is REALLY passionate with his lover too. Because for him, meaning of loving someone is sharing his deepest and most unknown sides in him with you. He will love you patiently, passionatly and gently...
And after spending lots of time with him, understanding and learning about him you were sure about one thing: Shoto Todoroki's love, is the most purest version of love you could ever get... A gentle, kind, respectful love which keeps you refreshed like an ice and a love that burns with most passionate flames you could ever see...
