Prompt: may i request some soulmate au headcanons with toshinori, fatgum, and aizawa (maybe the au where you can speak to each other telepathically?? or the color blind one ? whichever you like more!!)
Notes: Yaaaas soulmatesssss. I went for the colourblind one! Bonus, imagine All Might realizing just how frickin’ bright his costume is for the first time! Also, Aizawa highkey likes his sweats more when he realizes they’re neon pink
○ Toshinori went through almost his whole life without a soulmate. When he was younger this bothered him, worried him even. Once he got into the peak of his hero work though, he mostly forgot about it - even if he did have a soulmate he would have little time for them
○ He would still think about it sometimes, but not having ever met his soulmate despite his age (something almost unheard of) would often make him feel a bit insecure and uncomfortable. That, and knowing how hard it would be to manage a love life on top of being the symbol of peace, would be incedibly difficult, so he tries not to think about it
○ When he first runs into his soulmate Toshinori is terrified. Both of their eyes light up in recognition and Toshinori knows that their world has sparked into colours they’ve never been able to imagine too. He wants to run, but he knows he can’t
○ It takes a very, very long time for the two to get close. Toshinori struggles not to be distant, and it’s been so long since he’s let anyone in that he’s not even sure he knows how. Still, something feels so right when they’re together that s/o keeps trying, and Toshinori can’t bring himself to let them go
○ Once the couple finally manage to get close, s/o getting through Toshinori’s walls and Toshinori accepting them fully into his life, neither of them can imagine living without the other. They become such a complete part of one another’s routines and life that neither can remember what things were like before
○ Toshinori is very protective of his soulmate. He knows he’s made many enemies and there are plenty of people who would use his soulmate against him if they could. He’s sometimes a little overbearing but he means well. He went so long without his other half that now that he has them, he can’t bare the thought of being without them again.
○ Taishiro is a pretty romantic guy, so ever since he was a kid he’s been excited about the idea of meeting his soulmate. In his younger years he’d sometimes go out to crowded places and look around as much as he could in hopes that his world would light up the way everyone always described it
○ The longer Taishiro went living in black and grey the more antsy he got. He used to be afraid that he might not even have a soulmate! Now that he’s older he’s mellowed a bit, and isn’t so rushed, but he still finds himself craning around to try to meet everyone’s eye in crowded markets from time to time
○ When Taishiro finally meets his soulmate for the first time he’s so excited! Honestly he just barely manages to restrain himself from grabbing them and spinning them around right there. He can’t believe he finally met them, but he has!
○ Completely enamored immediately. All the dislike of waiting is out the window because Taishiro knows immediately that s/o was completely and totally worth the wait
○ Litters them with compliments and exclamations of how excited he is to meet them as soon as he’s introduced themselves. He’s asking them on a date immediately and bringing them to the nearest, cutest cafe he knows of so they can get to know all about each other
○ Taishiro’s so excited that he wants to introduce s/o to everyone right away! If they’re not comfortable he’s more than happy to wait, of course, but he wont be able to stop himself from telling everyone all about them. It may be a bit awkward for s/o at first, meeting all of Taishiro’s friends and family who know like everything about them, but that discomfort is soon forgotten as they quickly become just another member of the family.
○ Aizawa has never been big on the idea of soulmates. It’s all very cheesy in his mind, and his goals and aspirations have always come first so it’s not something he ever really worried about
○ Honestly, friends and family are more concerned about it than he is. Questions about whether he’s found his soulmate or not, and offers to take him out in hopes that he may run into them but Aizawa finds this kind of thing more annoying than anything else.
○ Because he’s so disinterested, and almost convinced that soulmates are overrated, Aizawa is completely shocked at the feeling he gets when he first lays eyes on his soulmate and his world explodes into colour. He feels suddenly more complete, as if his heart had been an outline that someone had just decided to colour in
○ S/o’s first look at Aizawa is probably just turning to see him staring at them blankly, because he’s kind of awestruck and not completely sure how he wants to react. Maybe it’s a bit of a weird first impression (after all, s/o did just spot a strange, scruffy looking, half-asleep man dressed in all black staring straight at them) but he’s their soulmate so they’ll probably just embrace it
○ Aizawa’s surprised at how quickly he accepts s/o into almost every aspect of his life. Something about them just seems to fit, like they’re supposed to be there and he just couldn’t see that a piece was missing from is life until they came into it. He never says that though because he doesn’t want to hear all the ‘I told you so’s’
○ Likes to complain about how bright everything is now that it’s in colour. He doesn’t actually dislike it though - it’s actually a weird way he shows that he’s happy to have his soulmate in his life. He totally judges other people’s colour choices in their outfits now though, lowkey
