Fun fact, I actually put this post in my drafts exactly one year ago on his last birthday but I ran out of steam. And ideas. Anyway, I love bf text posts but there are almost always never with Asahi so I decided to make them myself. Enjoy! Or don't. I can't tell you what to do.
Happy new year!
Hope you liked it! Check out my Masterlists in case you're looking for more food:
Btw anon that just asked me a question (if you see this) I will be working on that fic after my exams + work, so prolly on the 19th I’ll be able to actually do it fr im not ignoring it trust😭🙏
The two of you guys would be cuddling and being all cute with each other, then suddenly Mezo would morph his stubs into an ear and puts it to your against your chest.
“Y/n,, your heart is beating really fast”
“Oh? It just got faster?”
You tell Mezo to stop while hiding into his chest all giggly and he lives for it man. Then you realize this hunk of man also seems to be more effected by your presence and affection after all “bullshit your heart is beating hella fast too!!”
“Oh I’m so hypocritical aren’t I, what a shame”
Groaning in defeat, you just nuzzle into him more, continuing on having a conversation you were having prior. The whole duration of the time that your talking and explaining your opinion about such thing, he cannot stop smirking because he knows all too well it effected him most likely more than you were impacted by the adorable interaction. Mezo loves making you smile in any way, he loves being the reason as to why you seem joyous all the time.
I feel like people forget about how observant he is, he keeps track of everyone’s progress and personality traits so well. Since he quite has literally nothing in his room, he ponders a lot. (This hc was inspired by season 3 ep1, the class is at the pool and he recognized and stated “it looks like you’ve been working out” to ojiro, which is proof that he does care about his peer’s health and wellbeing, obviously cuz he’s super nice and can do nothing wrong but sigh oh well…) this naturally impacts you guys’s relationship, in a positive way, especially since Mezo is super emotionally intelligent/mature.
When you guys go out to eat, if you insist on paying before or during the meal, he excuses himself to go the bathroom but in reality he’s paying for it.
Shoji will quite literally do anything you ask, literally the embodiment of “your wish is my command”. Even if it’s cleaning your toenails, he’ll do for your sake. But this man knows how to establish boundaries, so do not be fooled, merely only because he loves you and will do anything in his power to be your gentleman. Ok now thinking about… cleaning your damn toenails is dedication, Mayhaps at certain points he makes a compromise. Imagine, if you ask him to do a next level, impossible quest/favor, Mezo thinks about it at first and then decides to pivot. Not reluctantly, but warily devoted; loyal/dedicated but he’s also cautious. He decides to make a come back of “Well if I’m doing this, may I get a back massage in return?” his dorky smile comes across his face, in hopes of you accepting the offering with his twist. Stifling back moans to hell and back cuz I jus KNOW that there arms on each side is not for the weak, plus the amount of work he puts in working out and fighting a bunch of people is hard ass work. Majority of the time he’s pretty stiff at times, maybe not sore since he is a hero and I bet he has been taught to properly exercise but regardless of all the precautions before doing such prestigious work, he’s bound to have some semblance of joint pain and overexerted muscle strain. So having that back massage is doing the lord work in shojis eyes, the feeling of your hands going at it through all the knots around his shoulder blades is actually a ticket to see heaven’s gates.
At some point Mezo is gonna take his mask off, when he does he’s pleasantly taken aback when you have a positive reaction. He really appreciates the trueness of your heart and moral, thanking you for the fact that you never judged him by his cover and what’s underneath. Don’t be scared to ask questions or say silly remarks, in fact he encourages you to do so. (This is seen season 7 episode 14 [essentially shoji’s ep] and Mezo was explaining his backstory, he said that he doesn’t want the topic and its controversy of heteromorph abuse to be taboo. He wants an open discussion, as he is also into that stuff, but he has high emotional intelligence to not let get to him too much)
This is lowkey more personal/oddly specific headcanon, so skip it if youd like. Anyhow, Imagine Mezo watching MoistCritikal before going to bed; ready to sleep, on your phone, cuddling and wrapping his arms around you, perhaps your fidgeting with his webs as well. He sometimes comments on what charlie reviews, especially if it’s like criminal and police webcams. Mezo might be the most gentlemanly people ever but he is still so blunt and real, that’s why he also likes Charlie cuz he don’t beat around the bush but also when he analyzes situations, most times his opinion is actually so valid and logical/justifiable. Mezo pretty much 80% of the time agrees with moisty.
When you react to him, and the result of nuzzling into his chest, his arms tighten around while softly chucking as your cuteness. His phrase that he says most of the time is “my silly girl…” Mezo most of the time murmurs into your hair, reaching his hand to your scalp to lightly to give it soft scritches.
His hands are always touching you, physical touch and acts of service is his shit, his jam.
Since Mezo is hella minimalist then he would do more quality time type of things during hangouts of if he plans out a birthday or sum- I’ll dote on this idea in my next hcs (hopefully around Christmas)
If you call Mezo your husband before getting married, composed on the outside but good god if you saw that heart rate number you’d actually would think he’d be dropping like a rag doll on the floor in a minute. He is so attentive with everything that you say, no matter how interesting or boring the subject he’s always having at least one more ear to listen to “your beautiful voice.” As he likes to call it, but the mix between Mellifluous voice of yours and the thought of you guys getting married (assumed to be pretimeskip ig?) makes him ecstatic. Produces more reasons to love you even more than before. Mezo ponders a lot like I’ve mentioned before cuz he quite literally does barely nothing besides eat, sleep, work out, go to school and do homework + hanging out with friends. If you have seen his room IT HAS NOTHING😭😭 but it creates even more of a reason as to why he loves you so much since he is very simple to accommodate and please. So something like “ohhh here comes my beautiful husband walking through the door, what a sight” surprises Mezo cuz quite frankly, everyone has always been scared or thought weird of his appearance (like season 5 ep 8 where Tori was saying how she didn’t like octopuses and shoji responded to the statement with “I’m used to that” like omg noooo🥺🥺 but anyway) Mezo thinks the world of you for the nickname/label, because he really does want to spend the rest of his time with you. He is a very simple man, (this is also seen when shojis dream is just to walk with the person who he saved a whole while ago, that just screams how he’s every simple to please and doesn’t take advantage of anything in a bad sense)
One day you guys would be outside while it’s fairly cold out and you ask your bf Mezo the grand question, how are you not cold? And he responds with “probably because I’m so used to it, these arms really restrict the mobility and ability I have to fit into the basic human measurements” you cry inside because likeee wdym you don’t know how to be snug as a bug. So maybe perhaps you could crochet, knit, or create by sewing fabric into a nice non-poncho accommodating, custom made sweatshirt🥲 he’d be so ecstatic. Mezo is super minimalist obviously but regardless of that regurgitated statement abt his character; Mezo seems like he has a wide range of clothing. All similar types of clothing but they’re different. Like all the class 1-A has pretty much the same like three shirts. For example, katsuki with his skull shirt + Kirishima with his D.J shirt and his god awful combination of summer clothes and during the winter he wears his signature (orangey reddish rusty) hoodie. Which this statement differs from shoji which albeit very much similar, there’s a difference in his colors and certain cuts. I have seen Mezo with a multitude of different colors tank tops as well as different colored shorts and pants; like combat boot pants, sage green pants, and beige pants. Mezo usually wears his combat poncho (or just plain green) which is why he would be really excited since it seems all he’s interested in when it comes to buying stuff, is clothing. (This is mentioned in S3 EP13-14 where theyre moving into the dorms and shoot asks is this what a minimalist is and shoji responds with “I just never understood why a person would want so much junk” so it’s apparent that he is not materialistic. Although it does not say in the show/manga, I think that he cares about clothing more in that way since he has a wider range of clothing compared to other classmates) I have also read this cannon somewhere else where someone said that the reason why he doesn’t like anything is cuz Mezo is so used to not being able to really do much, I mean he was about to be shanked and attempted to be persecuted when he touched that girl- which says enough within itself, so you really think that he’s gonna be waltzing around the shopping area to buy some bs? God no, if he can’t barely even face the public without being beaten half to death then there’s no way in hell he could have a chance to even have a thought process/mindset like that. So essentially he’d be overjoyous if you gave him (especially homemade) clothing
For a person like shoji who’s from a bad village with barely anything within it, perhaps the reason why he doesn’t yearn for anything unnecessary like knick knacks. But the thing is tho, he is shown to be on his phone numerous times, more than most students. It hasn’t been said or anything but I’ve noticed it while watching the show that he seems up to date at least news and internet wise. Mezo has said before he’s not up to date with new music but on the contrary he knows stuff like the latest, most popular villain-looking heros there are; it just depends on what his inspiration to engage with various media, naturally so.
But overall, I did not expect him to have any known slang, but I was watching the episode and I really cannot comprehend what shoji said, I feel like I’m going insane.
Did he say “you excite’” as if it’s shortened for excited😭😭??
last night I had a dream that involved a brief but sweet scene
the rest of the dream was fuzzy, but I remember going into Mezo's room (and apparently in the dream he was my boyfriend, which is, yes???)
and he was asleep and so I climbed into bed and wrapped my arms around him to hold him, like, yknow to cuddle up and sleep in bed with him
... but he accidentally rolled out of bed because he was startled, not used to being held because of the awkwardness of his arms making it difficult to position himself into being held rather than holding someone else
and he was like "what are you doing???" and I swear to God my stubborn ass said it exactly like this, "trying to hold you, babe, now get back over here and let me!!"
he was so embarrassed and flustered and UGHHHH LET ME CUDDLE HIM AND SHOW HIM IT DOESN'T REQUIRE A GAME OF TWISTER TO ACCOMPLISH
he's so cute and just doesn't get enough attention <3

"Yeah, I really like quiet bad boys," you joked with your friend, legs thrown across her lap as you talked about your type. The words that fell from your mouth were a joke, it was obvious to you and your friend, but Kirishima took these words as an oath. The quick sentence had already been engrained into his memory, sharp teeth fighting the urge to dig into the flesh of his cheek. The words echoed through his mind, ringing in his ears as he felt his heart drop to his feet.
He knew it wasn't good to eavesdrop. It totally wasn't manly. But he couldn't help it! The moment he heard the topic of "types" come up between you and your best friend, his ears perked up before he could even think. And I guess this was learning the hard way, getting his feelings hurt over something he wasn't even supposed to hear in the first place.
"Are you okay?" you asked softly, noticing the way Kirishima's mouth hung agape, gaze fixed on the wall ahead as he tried to process the things he had just heard.
"What? Oh, yeah. Super, super chill. I'm totally okay," he roughly attempted to save himself, cringing internally when you turned away with a soft chuckle.
The next day when he showed up to class, his hair was down, now dyed back to its original dark color. His bright red eyes peaked out from beneath the black strands. It was clear he was trying his best to seem mysterious and broody, doing whatever he could while still fitting the dress code.
"Hey, Kiri, what's with the new look?" you chuckled softly, approaching where he sat, staring out of a window like he was contemplating something.
"Yeah," he simply replied, not bothering to turn and make eye contact with you. What you couldn't see was how his body was fighting him, craving to look into your eyes, wanting to see the kindness behind them, but he wanted you to give him a chance.
"Why are you acting so weird right now?" you laughed, cocking an eyebrow and gently tilting your head, wanting to know what was up with the usually perky boy.
"I'm not. Jus' thinking," he sighed, finally turning his head to look at you. He was attempting to make his eyes look tired, half-lidded gaze looking into your eyes, but you could see the usual spark of energy behind them.
"Y'know, I like your red-hair a lot better," you confess, leaning against the wooden desk in front of him.
"Really? That's- I mean, chill," Kirishima began excited, perking up at the compliment of what he wanted to be, what he previously was. It was like he already had a chance, but he had to remember your type. You hadn't said anything about hair color, you just mentioned personality. Maybe he went a little... overkill with the black hair dye, but there was no possible way you could mean you liked him. The real him.
Eijiro had been hanging out in his dorm when he heard a soft knock sound on his door. His pillows were already stained, the reddish splotches growing on his pillows from the fresh dye that he had put in a few days ago, still bleeding onto everything he touched.
When he opened the door, he was greeted with your face. The cheesy smile was immediately wiped off his face, straightening his posture as you opened your mouth to speak.
"Why have you been acting all weird lately? It's like... every time I come around you're all serious and broody," you asked him, stepping a bit closer to the boy. The panic that seeped through his blood line was poorly disguised, blush blooming on his cheeks and ears.
"You said your type was bad boys," he muttered under his breath, eyes flicking away from where yours attempted to meet them.
"I was joking, Kiri," you chuckled softly, hand moving to grab his, "my type is guys who can be themselves around me."
"Really?" Kirishima eagerly asked. If he was a dog, his tail would've been wagging like crazy. He pulled you inside, mumbling something about a movie date and rambling about how hard it was to not talk to you. You laughed at how excited the boy was, seemingly acting like you just confessed to him, and frankly, you didn't mind. You were just glad you got your crush back. Your Eijiro Kirishima back.
He stared at you like you’d just broken up with him, lips pushing into a pout and a few stutters and confused grumbles spilling from his mouth. “Wha- Huh?! What do you mean no kissing and no touching?” His jaw was on the floor in shock, study material forgotten.
“I need to lock in, Kiri, and you keep distracting me.”
“What?” He exclaimed. “How do I distract you? If anything, I encourage you. I motivate you.”
“No, you always slip your hand onto my thigh, or kiss my jaw when I’m concentrated. I need to properly focus… so you can’t touch me for the rest of the day.”
He let out the whiniest groan ever, head plonking onto the desk as he threw a mini tantrum. “But baby, I need your affection to keep me going. How am I meant to study whilst being starved of your touch?”
You laugh, little giggles that you can’t control as you watch as he slumps back against his chair, tapping his pen against his books. “You are so dramatic. You’ll survive a few hours.”
“I won’t,” you hear him grumble under his breath, resting his head in his palm as you begin working.
—————————Katsuki Bakugo—————————
You’d never seen him glare at you with such a murderous glint in his eyes. Katsukis hands were balled into fists as you continued your training like normal.
“What are you talking about?” He finally barked out, stomping after you, reaching to grab your arm and turn you around to face him. However, you quickly pulled away, a smug grin on your face.
“Ah ah. No touching, remember?”
“Why. Not?”
“Because when I’m trying to train and I can feel your hands on my waist, or you kissing my neck when I’m trying to fight off robots, it’s very distracting. I won’t allow you to hold me back anymore.”
He gapes. “Hold you back? The hell you on about? I’m the one that pushes you the most. If it weren’t for me you’d be on the same level as them extras.”
“I hate to disagree but… I disagree.” You flash him a smile before heading back over to the training grounds, leaving him grumbling and ready to fight anyone who even breathes in his direction.
—————————Izuku Midoyria——————————
The poor boy looks like he’s about to cry. Disbelief and shock are evident on his face, eyeing you to see if you’re joking or not.
“I can’t even cuddle you?”
“Nope. I’ve got 50 pages left of this book, and guess what.”
“What?” He says, slightly hesitant.
“I’ve had 50 pages left for the past two weeks because every time I try to read, you distract me by being all touchy.”
His head falls onto your stomach where he was laid atop of you, arms wrapped around your mid-torso. He whines into your abdomen like an upset puppy. “I can’t even stay like this?”
“Nope. Every time you promise to stay still your hands end up wandering everywhere. Then you beg for kisses and make me put my book down.”
He grumbles unintelligible complaints into your skin some more before unwillingly pulling himself away from your body, sitting next to you the whole time as you finished your book like a lost puppy.
—————————Denki Kaminari——————————
He gawks at you. He’s so shook he even puts his xbox controller on the floor temporarily in front of where you’re both sitting.
“Wow, so my girlfriend hates me. Good to know.” He turns his head away from you dramatically, sniffling loudly and pretending to wipe his eyes, shaking his shoulders as if he was having a full breakdown.
You shake your head in exasperation, hitting his back playfully. “You are so dramatic, you’re acting like I just broke up with you.”
“That’s basically what you just did.”
“No it is not. I keep losing the round because you can’t keep your hands to yourself.”
“So you break up with me?”
“I am not breaking up with you, you absolute drama queen. Just let me win this one round then you can touch me again.”
He huffs, pouting, folding his arms over his chest. “I’ll never forgive you for this. You’ve emotionally wounded me.”
You laugh, rolling your eyes playfully. “Yeah, yeah.”
—————————Shoto Todoroki——————————
He blinks at you in confusion. “So i’m just meant to watch you?”
“Yes.”
“I don’t see the point in that.”
“Then go and watch TV while I finish.”
He stared at you in confusion. You had temporarily put your boyfriend on a ban from touching you whilst you were cooking, but he couldn’t fathom why. You laugh at his cluelessness. “You can’t keep distracting me whilst I’m cooking. I need to be fully aware of the food in front of me, but I can’t do that when you keep pressing yourself against me from behind.”
“Oh, I see.”
Silence.
“This feels a little unfair.”
“Just let me dish up first, then I’ll drop the ban.”
“I can help you dish up.”
You eye him suspiciously. Despite standing there innocently, you knew the minute you said yes he would be purposefully standing as close as he could get to you, making you flustered and distracting you even more.
“No, I’m fine.”
You see him sigh in frustration out of the corner of your eye, grumbling as he leans against the counter.
——————————Hanta Sero———————————
“You’re playing with me, right?” He’s stopped walking behind you now, standing in the middle of the isle like a lost child.
“No.”
“Ugh, you’re so horrible to me. Depraving your boyfriend like this, I could report this you know,” he rambles as he jogs to catch up with you, standing as close as possible without actually touching you. At least he was listening, you thought.
“Oh yeah?” You replied back bored, not entertaining his crazy ideas and threats as you mentally ticked off different foods on your shopping list.
“I was barely even doing anything,” he whines, head in his hands as you stop to look at the shelves.
You shoot him a look of disbelief. “Your hands were on my waist the entire time, and you even slapped my ass when an old woman was down the same isle as us.”
“Really? I thought the isle was empty.”
“You’re so socially unaware, this is why a ban was necessary.”
“A touching ban is never necessary,” he argues back, following behind you only mere inches away, trying to lean over your shoulder and look at the list as he continued to complain about how mean you were being to him.
I saw someone say Bakugo was the Symbol of Perseverance, so I wanted to see if I could find 4 other Symbols to match that based on 1) Public Opinion (polls) and 2) Who is on the Hero Rankings in the future after the timeskip
Lowkey if you guys went grocery shopping, let’s say last minute, you guys wouldn’t really even need a basket. Like if you gon get 10 things, your manz shoji can just hold all those items without a problem. Definitely lets you push the cart, he brushed his hands against your body so frequently, there’s been many times where you think he’s tryna be superstitious and rile something up within you, and you aren’t wrong, in the slightest. Mezo knows what he’s doing and how it affects you at certain points.
PDA wise, I feel like at the end of the day, after all he’s been through; he could care less of who’s watching cuz somebody gonna be watching anyway, so might as well enjoy it regardless.
That’s when he pulls out the shoji screen move haha get it cuz his names shoji lmao but if he really wanted the privacy, he could totally just block the outside with his webbed arms. mezo would continue giving all the love behind his little made self shoji screen, but then again he’d prolly be so fed up of people’s prejudice/negative opinions that he really don’t care. If anything he loves showing you off, after all he’s with you, you must be precious. He doesn’t date willynilly, he does it with meaning and patience.
This also applies to when you want privacy like if your changing or doing something in secret. But honestly I feel like he could just stand there like a giant brick will and still cover you cuz he’s lowkey a giant but ykkk😝😝
omg don’t even get me started with how big he is like genuinely who wouldn’t this massive human to be loving and cuddling all up in your shit. Just imagine the bear hugs he would give, like during the show it’s known/shown that he isn’t afraid to touch people regardless of his past and the consequences that went along with it. Mezo would definitely be pretty cuddly, I mean you’re bound to be when you have six freaking arms bro.
He is such a gentleman, like actually. Sometimes when the time comes and the time and place for it, you happen to walk into a door and open it up before he could (and trust he takes every precaution for this to not happen but yk) he makes you do the whole motion all over again, walking back a few steps behind the door to wherever, holding your hand the entire time with such carefulness. Opening the door for you makes him feel so accomplished.
I feel like people forget that he’s super straight forward and lowkey blunt asf, and he’s sarcastic too. Proof of the bluntness is when mezo spoke up to Denki and Mina after getting 19 and 20th place (last place btw😭) when they were talking about how easy their next trip is gonna be as a class, mezo says “why do you sound so happy you both have a hard time controlling your quirk” LIKE OK DAYUMMM CLOCK IT SHOJI. Anyway,,,,) he would definitely do that to you BUT his peacefulness and unvindictive-ness balances that. He’s not a complete bitch and just says anything without thinking first, he always put himself into someone else’s shoes to understand their true emotion, moral and intention. Simple as it is, that key step makes a world of a difference within communicating impact in one’s relationship. This is the reason why you guys rarely ever have arguments, cuz each side actually communicates in a healthy way. Agreeing to disagree and patience is also key in Shoji’s eyes, any type of reaction is welcome but it’s how you, as a partner, go about it is lucrative; as in if you guys as a couple have a disagreement. After the initial statement/assertion of his opinion, mezo makes it his priority to listen to your side of the story. Responding to your opinion/point is accordingly and scarily impactful- he makes you feel so heard and cared for. Along with that, It is evident throughout the whole conversation that he loves you regardless of the circumstances within the sudden disagreement. His bluntness will help levitate the tension or confusion, Mezo does not beat around the bush- especially in these kinds of conversations. The whole duration of it, shoji doesn’t necessarily look at it in the perspective of disagreements in a negative sense, he just recognizes your feelings along with his and tries to improve upon the information provided. Conversations like these hopefully won’t have a negative connotation to it, on the contrary to most people think, it should be a moment of self reflection and introspective awareness.
Whenever he stands there, just menacingly… sometimes that can make people look over, maybe in fright or curiosity, unbeknownst to him he doesn’t notice his own stature and how that may be the reason why everyone looks at him at times. And you gotta wonder your own self, tf is that stare for??😭 like I’m abouta be real here, it’s hard to distinguish someone’s emotions when you got no eyebrows, a mask that covers your nose and below, and no ears. You can’t even see the blush or confusion he may be having, or anger, he’s just there. At times like these where your standing in line for something and stares off into the environment, you ask the grand question: what’s wrong? When you catch is attention, you can tell that you just lit up his whole world just by your presence, plus your voice. He responds with the most softest voice for a big man like him, which always makes you giggly at the stark contrast.
He loves finishing your sentences (hcs idea is from him doing it like twice, for example during the license exam and he was stuck/locked in a building w/ tsu, momo and jiro, and he finished her sentence when she was explaining as to why she couldn’t create more objects to help their situation; following up with mezo finishing mid sentence “ ‘till you can’t create anymore”) mezo would totally pick up and learn certain catch phrases/typical verbal reactions that you normally say. He loves being silly with you and when you guys have a pleasant conversation and by the context he could tell your gonna say your infamous line, he’d say it at the same time or finish it; You see mezo have the biggest love smirk in the world after doing so. He does it sparingly so it doesn’t get too annoying, lowkey huge ragebaiter, but it makes it better when one does not do it every three sentences a lesson a lotta people need to learn nowadays
Omg ty so freakishly muchhh likeee😭😭 this made me smile so hard like i love hearing that people adore my hcs, I recently have been on the grind so hopefully in the future I’ll make more shoji hcs cuz he’s genuinely my top three fav characters. He’s such a real, humble dude. I also miss when people go into deep detail into their hcs too😪 but again ty smmm, this means a lot 🤩🤩🤩

You can’t even see the blush or confusion he may be having, or anger, he’s just there. At times like these where your standing in line for something and stares off into the environment, you ask the grand question: what’s wrong? When you catch is attention, you can tell that you just lit up his whole world just by your presence, plus your voice. He responds with the most softest voice for a big man like him, which always makes you giggly at the stark contrast.
He loves finishing your sentences (hcs idea is from him doing it like twice, for example during the license exam and he was stuck/locked in a building w/ tsu, momo and jiro, and he finished her sentence when she was explaining as to why she couldn’t create more objects to help their situation; following up with mezo finishing mid sentence “ ‘till you can’t create anymore”) mezo would totally pick up and learn certain catch phrases/typical verbal reactions that you normally say. He loves being silly with you and when you guys have a pleasant conversation and by the context he could tell your gonna say your infamous line, he’d say it at the same time or finish it; You see mezo have the biggest love smirk in the world after doing so. He does it sparingly so it doesn’t get too annoying, lowkey huge ragebaiter, but it makes it better when one does not do it every three sentences a lesson a lotta people need to learn nowadays
Lowkey just a rant about it all cuz I feel this in my heart😭
If your a sensitive soul I feel like he would be so attentive to what your talking about when you describe your thoughts since your prone to overthink 24/7. like depending on the moral, context and different kinds of factors, he totally would give good constructive advice accordingly. But if you would rather listen he would totally listen to you all day if he could. But he’d prolly would hype you up hella regardless.
“With all your skills I bet you can be whoever you wanna be baby!… Man you seriously choke me up whenever you run around an’ just being yourself, don’t let other idiots passively control yo’ life. They ain’t worth, trust”
I feel like people don’t understand when your an easily affected by or susceptive type of person, when someone makes a slight negative remark, we may not go into this whole chaotic crash out. We don’t cry all the time. But it’s a lot of built up stress that has not been configurated around with yet. Then there’s someone at the right time, says a certain thing to trigger a tear, it just seems natural to have that immediate reaction. Eijiro honestly totally goes through this but he just prolly has a different way of dealing with it. But he sees and deeply understands where this issue originates. He feels emotions very intensely, so with that being the case he’s amount bound to connect with the frustration empathically. This also leads to him saying the perfect words at the right moment, soothing even further.
As an example, this can also be seen when Eijiro was finding someone to do the Calvary battle (Sports Festival where students form teams to compete for points by stealing headbands) with and he was using terminology to ‘persuade’ katsuki into being able to fight together, beside each other and make use with one and the other to their advantage as partners. Katsuki is taken aback because he most likely is so used to other peers wanting to compete or use him (or afraid of him perhaps😭). What makes this interaction so special is that that was the spark of (at least for Bakugo) their friendship when they recognized each other as equals. Other people may differ but that’s just my opinion.
“I can tell your feeling down but it’s ok man, your feelings are very real and no one can take that away from you. It’s easier to give advice for people other than yourself, but internally, It’d eat you from the inside out if you keep holding those pretty little thoughts of yours. If you keep analyzing what you have not done then you are not gonna be able to recognize the great that you have done for others including your own successes baby”
Heylo! May I have "Am I your lock screen?" "You weren't supposed to see that." with Shoji seeing the reader's phone screen?
Woohoo it’s lockscreen day!
Thank you for your request and support dearie, I often see your name in my notifications and it means the world to me! So I hope you’ll like this, I tried my best <3 I don’t see a lot of Shoji content so hopefully I did him justice, I’m not so sure about it…
Smoochies from Ma!
“Y/N, someone keeps calling you. Do you want your phone?”
You heard Mezo’s voice coming from behind the bathroom door. You had just gotten out of the shower and were still in the process of drying yourself.
“I’m not done yet, can you get it for me? It’s probably Mina trying to get me to hurry up.” You answered as you looked for the blow dryer.
After a few minutes you finally got out and saw your boyfriend sitting on your bed, your phone in hand. He looked deep in thought but you didn’t think much of it since he always did. So you moved on with your preparation, oppening your closet to choose which jacket you should wear.
“Y/N?” He softly called out to you after a moment.
“Yes Mezo?” You replied, a little distracted by the task at hand.
“Am I your lock screen?”
Suddenly your choice of attire seemed utterly futile.
“You…weren’t supposed to see that.” You eluded, slowly turning around to face him.
You felt really shy about it. Not that Shoji would ever make fun of you for it, he was the sweetest boyfriend you could ask for. But it was a picture you had taken one night when you couldn’t sleep and he was spread out on the bed, all his limbs making for one peculiar starfish but you couldn’t help but melt at the sight. It was also a rare opportunity for you to sneak up on him without one his eyes spotting you. So you had taken the picture and saved it as your lockscreen. Seeing it everyday made you smile but you hadn’t told him yet and you were afraid it would make him uncomfortable.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to pry.” He apologised, worried about crossing your boundaries when you had probably stepped all over his. “But the call ended before I could answer and for a few seconds the screen was lit up with a photo of me sleeping?”
He looked at you questioningly but he didn’t seem angry, he hardly ever was after all. But he seemed curious and a bit shocked.
“I should be the one apologizing… I took it the last time you spent the night here and you were just so cute I had to save it. But I understand if you don’t feel comfortable with it and I’m really sorry I didn’t tell you…”
He pondered over your words for a moment before finally answering :
“You don’t need to apologise, I don’t mind. I was just…surprised you wouldn’t choose something a bit more pleasing to look at, since you use your phone pretty often.”
You felt a pang in your chest at his self-deprecating comment. You also hadn’t missed the way his eyes had widened slightly when you had called him cute.
Shoji didn’t really have self esteem issues per say, as he didn’t mind the way he looked. But he was aware he didn’t have the most conventional body type and because of that most people wouldn’t find him attractive. The many stares and comments he received almost daily were a constant reminder of this. But still he didn’t care. Especially since the only person whose opinion truly mattered seemed to tolerate the way he looked.
But you didn’t just tolerate him. You didn’t feel like you were out of his league or whatever. You felt lucky that your gentle giant of a boyfriend also happened to be one of if not the most handsome man you had ever laid your eyes on. Granted, what you loved most about him was his personality, but his unusual body was far from off putting in your eyes. You were actually really turned on by him but it’s not like it was a kink or something, because you also found yourself gazing at him like you would a sunset.
“Mezo, I love looking at you. I love the way you look and not just because I love you. I had a crush on you even before we had a chance to talk and get to know each other. So this,” You held up your phone to him before giving the picture a fond look yourself. “you all relaxed and happy, on my bed might I add, is the most pleasing thing I could ever look at.”
His eyes gave you the warmest of smiles before he engulfed you in one of his bear hugs that you loved so much. He didn’t say anything, but he didn’t need to, you understood him better than anyone.
