EARLY STAGES OF THE RELATIONSHIP
He keeps his thoughts to himself.
He won't tell you that he enjoys your company or the small things you do that make him feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
He'll just quietly, with much frustrated internal screeching, fall in deeper love with you again and again from the sidelines.
He panics on a daily basis upon the understanding that he's actually in love with a person.
He pulls on his hair and groans into his pillow, trying to convince himself that he doesn't need to know what you're up to every single second of every single day.
He just keeps it all bottled up.
The thought of you knowing just how much he thinks about you and wants to be with you is absolutely mortifying to him.
His initial replies to cutesy things like "I love you" and "goodnight" are "fuck off" and "get lost".
But meanwhile his stomach will spin up a storm and make his palms weep.
However!
He has such an expressive face and gives off a very clear type of body language.
He'll blush a lot too, and stutter, and get goosebumps.
Especially if you do something that catches him completely off-guard.
Which is often.
Because he's not at all any used to having a person give him that particular sweet and playful type of care and attention.
He's at least not used to enjoying it.
Or down-right craving it on a daily basis.
He'll soften up in his confusion, as though stupefied, as the realisation of bliss dawns on him.
He'll be completely dumbfounded by the fact that he loves this creature.
And moreover, that this sweet little ditzy thing actually loves him in return.
He'll stop in wonder at the feeling too often, busy wrapping his head around the fact that he actually likes stupid shit like having his forehead kissed.
He turns extremely tense with anger if you dare mock him for it though.
He does NOT appreciate being ridiculed for his inexperience.
Playful teasing makes him curse, shove you off, before getting up and stomping out.
He's very sensitive.
It takes a while to learn all the ins and outs with him.
Like what exactly will set him off and what are the best ways of dealing with his many many many moods once he's in them.
Actions are much better than words when it comes to Katsuki.
It's better to shut him up with a kiss, rather than let him rile himself up and say shit that he instantly regrets.
Let's not talk too much about the complete lack of experience this boy has when it comes to kissing...
But one word... M E S S Y
Too open-mouthed, too much tongue, teeth clanking every other second.
Desperate and aggressive...
His breathing is so loud and he'll squish your cheeks like a dodgeball between his hands, mushing his face onto yours, forehead to forehead, brows entangling with brows, nose hugging nose, chin against chin.
And he's completely clueless about it too.
It's almost hopeless, like teaching a Saint Bernard how to be gentle when all he wants to do is slobber and suck face.
Touch-starved to a tee.
But he's completely unaware of it before you start touching him and all he can think is She's touching me, fuck, she's touching me, she's fucking touching me-
He's a complete panicked clumsy flustered amateur about it too.
Heart-racing and eyes wide. Breaths heavy.
His hands never knowing what to do...
They're always left hovering above your hips until you encourage him to put them someplace where they're useful.
Intimacy is challenging with Katsuki.
Because he's a bit awkward...
AND what makes it extra tough is how he hates feeling embarrassed or in any way out of his element.
He's often frustrated because he won't have the balls to ask for things such as cuddles and kisses, but will feel very on edge if he doesn't get any either.
He gradually warms up to the idea of initiating things himself...
Feeling his head pound impossibly hot when deliberating giving you a compliment or going in for a kiss or reaching nervously for your hand.
He feels his throat dry a lot the first few times when inviting you over to his dorm.
Even over text, where he'll write and rewrite the same invite about a dozen times before either giving up or accidentally hitting send.
He's the type to check his phone for a reply a dozen times a minute.
And he'll answer the same second you send him something in return, never pussyfooting around with stupid shit like playing hard-to-get or busy.
Though he purposely ignores texts from Deku and Dunce-face, while occasionally answering Shittyhair.
He was T E R R I F I E D that his mother wouldn't like you.
But the fear disappeared and was soon replaced by regret of bringing you home in the first place as now all he can feel is the two of you ganging up to make fun of him.
He forms a new respect for his father after-the-fact.
Finally understanding that being passive is a virtue and a strength, and not a weakness.
SOMETIME INTO THE RELATIONSHIP
He's still a grumpy pouty jealous boy.
Super clingy.
He grumbles every time you spend more time with friends, family, colleagues...
Just anyone that isn't him.
He's way more assertive now.
Way more honest and talkative.
Expressive in how he'll grumpily tell you that he doesn't like that guy or she's a bad influence.
And possessive and protective in the way he gives all your guy-friends the look.
He's high-maintenance.
This unstable ball of insecurities requires a lot of attention.
A lot of reassurance and reminders and doting.
And he will now go to great not-so-subtle lengths to get it.
He's ridiculous about it most of the time.
Both about what he chooses to be upset about, and what methods he chooses in cheering himself up.
He'll start loud random fights with you for no reason.
Not fights that'll end in tears, but stupid fights like how his favourite pokemon is obviously way better than whatever your favourite pokemon is.
Just... NERDY fucking arguments.
He requires heated discussions multiple times a day.
Hot topics are usually: - Current movies or shows the two of you are watching. Thoughts about the characters, the plot and aesthetic. He's still a child and will call dibs on what character he is. - Food. New restaurants you both should try or new recipes you both should test. - Heroes, and everything they entail. For example moronic costume designs, brainless battle-roars, dense strategies, simple-minded villains. Just overall criticism. - All Might or Deku, Icy-hot too. - Kaminari and Kirishima and their combined stupidity. You feel like you and Katsuki are their parents half the time. They also often stay over for dinner and indulge in the conversation regarding their own stupidity. - Fashion and interior design. Things that require fixing or upgrading in your apartment and whether you should consider buying a house instead. - Your future together and your relationship. Baby-fever. He's a bit too young to be this enthusiastic about something you view as belonging far into the future. - Bets on how long your friends new relationships will last and your thoughts on their new girlfriend/boyfriend. He always turns things into a competition. Your relationship is obviously superior to everyone else's in his opinion. - Your friends in general. He cares for them in his own special way.
He's strangely very invested in gossip.
Extremely opinionated.
J U D G E M E N T A L
He also loves play-fighting.
And small games of chase around your apartment.
And tickling.
Especially pinning you down and attacking you with small kisses everywhere, making you squirm and giggle in panic beneath him.
There's no escape.
He'll state he doesn't like being doted on.
But he's constantly pulling at you and tugging you to his chest.
Asking you what you're doing in hopes you'll ask him to join you.
Like showering, going for a run, even shopping.
His parents are fashion designers and though he was never too interested in the business, he quite enjoys seeing you twirl and spin in front of the mirror.
He also enjoys doing spa skincare routines together with you.
Mud masks and chocolate-covered strawberries.
Wrapped up in fluffy robes while the two of you cuddle on the couch all snug and comfortable.
He loves watching movies and shows with you.
He'll be an offended grumpy ball of pouting and brooding for days if you watch an episode of something without him.
He sees it as a betrayal.
It will be a touchy-subject for weeks afterwards.
He is not quick to forgive.
And he remembers absolutely EVERYTHING.
And trust, he will hold it against you.
Big grudge bearer.
He does not take lightly to having his trust betrayed.
No matter how small a thing it is.
Sorry does not cut it.
You'll need to find a way to make it up to him through more than just words, you traitor.
He's super lazy at parties.
He doesn't want to dance.
He just wants you on his lap on the couch.
He's not a drinker, but will mindlessly drink what Kirishima puts on the table for him.
He gets tipsy after the sixth beer.
And he's a very handsy drunk.
So clingy.
And super talkative too.
Not loud, but whiny almost. Mumbling into your neck. Licks and love-bites...
Grabby hands messaging the fat of your thigh.
Just H O R N Y
He makes you leave early with him each and every time.
He's a bit of a party-pooper...
Unless he's whisked away on whatever stupid shenanigan with Kirishima and Kaminari.
They know how to take advantage of him.
They know that he's completely unable to say no to a challenge after they've juiced him up with a couple of beers in his system.
He usually sleeps like a starfish on the bed, limbs thrown everywhere, with his pillows strewn about in no particular assigned place.
At night he'll grab onto them and squeeze them.
Though with you there, he might mistake you for one and wrap his legs around you like he's tackling you in a wrestling match.
And you won't be able to stop him nor wake him since he's such a heavy sleeper.
He's like a bear in hibernation.
D R O O L S
Growls in his sleep.
But goes completely woozy with soft snores if you play with his hair.
He knows he's a handful.
So, instead of arguing with you over petty shit that he'll end up regretting later, he'll go preoccupy himself with something else.
Like cooking, working, exercising, drumming...
Anything that can either calm him down or let him vent all his aggression out.
Though...
He loves it when you take that task upon yourself...
Where in the middle of a nasty wordy fight, you resolve it by simply taking your shirt off.
It's like a fog lifts from his mind and all he can see is this pretty little thing that he loves and lusts for before giving in with a groan.
A comment about how you're not off the hook leaving his lips between attacking yours.
He's a handyman around the house.
And a good one at that.
But no one can do everything...
But try telling Katsuki that without him throwing a fit.
He's a MAN for fuck's sake.
His pride doesn't allow him to simply "call a guy".
Even when he doesn't know how to fix whatever's not working.
Sometimes you'll go days without a certain appliance before he either fixes it somehow through hours of frustration or caves and finally calls a professional.
When walking together, he prefers hooking arms like an old couple or when you cling to his side with his hand on your waist as opposed to holding hands.
Not only because it makes him feel strong when you touch his bicep, but also because his palms are always so sweaty he fears grossing you out.
Also, he likes guiding you.
Holding you close to him when you get distracted by whatever it is you always let yourself get distracted by.
"Oi, nerd, don't get yourself lost."
And holding your waist feels a little less like he's yanking you than when he's only holding your hand.
The strangest shit will bring him joy.
He gets almost thrilled when you're sick and bedridden.
Like a young mom around Christmas, eager to take on all the preparations on their very own.
It would be concerning if you didn't know to blame it on him being a man-whore for responsibility.
Honestly, the more chores and tasks one gives this man, the happier and fulfilled a human being he becomes.
He'll get so fussy and irritable without something to put his mind and hands to.
It's like he can barely bring himself to breathe normally without a challenge consuming him.
And when you're the one needing him, it's all the more sweeter a duty for him to succeed in.
He loves staying home taking care of you.
Prepping meals for you, serving them hot to your bedside.
Taking your temperature.
Reminding you to drink your tea before it gets cold.
Watching movies all day beneath the covers where you're warm and tucked in all cozy, your little weary head laying to rest against his shoulder, stuffed nose sniffling as you clutch to his side.
It almost turns him on.
And on that note, not to mention...
He'll be so so so very strange around that time of the month.
Constantly asking if you need him to run an errand and get you pads or tampons or chocolate at the store.
Bombarding you with comforting snuggles left and right.
Heating his hand up to a nice soothingly toasty warmth as he rubs smooth patterns into your tummy when it's cramping and aching.
And he'll always, without fail, make a comment about how tampons look like bullets.
And you'll wonder why you even like this hunk of a dorky man.
Always finding the answer in how, aside from how overwhelming his care might be... it feels unnervingly good to be unconditionally cared for.
He'll claim he isn't a doting boyfriend.
But he's one of the most naggingly observant and aggressively caring boyfriends there is to find.
He cooks for you. Obviously.
He likes it when you help out with the small stuff.
But he's a perfectionist...
And takes cooking and baking very seriously.
He's extremely tidy and strict and organized.
Everything has its designated place in the kitchen, so much so he'll scold you if you ever put something in the wrong drawer.
He's a bit of a neat-freak.
And his grocery-list is the only grocery-list.
But he blushes like such a goofy softie if you hum and smile and thank him for the food.
He will kill you for ever buying take-out.
He regards it as a crime.
He thinks it's trash.
And he won't ever forgive you for disrespecting your body by consuming it.
He'll ask you about what you had for different meals likes he's interrogating a criminal.
Calling you throughout the day to make sure you remember to eat and drink.
He makes you bento-boxes. And carves things into little monsters instead of cutesy shit. Just like his mom did when he was kid.
He'll also hand you an entire litre water-bottle before bed and stand there arms-crossed until you've finished at least half of it if he suspects you haven't drunk enough during the day.
He'll carry you off to bed when he deems it's time to sleep.
And allows no late-night working in the dark in an energy-drink binge.
He does not care about you teasing him for what a goodie-toe-shoes he is when it comes to bed-times.
He'll tug you out of your clothes and shoo you into the bathroom regardless of your protests.
He'll be sleepy and grumpy in his groggy authority, strictly snapping his fingers at you to get yourself ready for bed.
After all, he knows best and you're just a dumbass.
But he'd be damned if you weren't his dumbass.
