‘ hc ‘ + affection for mahito
send me ‘ hc ‘ + a word and i’ll write a headcanon about it regarding my character.
mahito isn't impervious to affection but affection is described as a liking or fondness of someone or something. it's another emotion that he does not quite understand or grasp and it's because of how he was created. there is no affection in hatred. it's literally the opposite. that isn't to say he can't feel or find affection in something. he's more likely to be affectionate toward animals than people. same goes for books and movies as well. he has a deep liking for those things.
when it comes to affection toward people... it's really not there. he doesn't like them. he's said one of the most disgusting things about humans was how many there were. there is no way in hell one could chalk that up to affection. if he does become affectionate toward a person, it's not true affection. it's definitely a form of manipulation. he will take a false liking to them and show them the care they might be lacking simply to use them.
now if someone showed affection to him? that would be a different story. he would be confused simply because he can't grasp the concept of someone liking him or finding a fondness for him. he wouldn't exactly hate it though either. affection is just a funny little feeling that he does not know what to do with or why people have it.
as stated before, he was created from hatred so affection is something he is cautious of simply because it goes against everything that made him.
