bad day so of course I’m thinking about Izuku
he’s just so…sweet. In the simplest terms that’s how I’d describe how he treats his partner. Consistent and kind are close seconds though. He doesn’t just tell you to express your feelings because it’s “the right thing” to do. He wants to know how you feel. Wants to know when you’re happy and how to make it happen more often. Wants to know when you’re sad and how to help ease your pain when it happens because of course it’s going to happen. No one can be happy all the time.
he’s devoted, passionate, and intelligent. He remembers little things that make you smile or laugh. Big things that make you upset and the way you try to self soothe and how he can compliment the behavior. He’s memorized everything about you to the point he can recognize when you’re getting upset before you can even say, because sometimes it’s hard to say anything at all.
he’s gentle. The way he cups your face in his hand, strokes your cheek or under your eye with his thumb. Just a few times, not enough to overstimulate. The way he stares into your eyes or at your face but doesn’t force you to look back. He’s not pressuring you, just studying your reactions to make sure he’s helping.
he consumes. Not in an aggressive way. Not in a way that demands. Instead, he surrounds you. Nothing else can get to you when he’s around. His arms are strong and firmly wrapped around you. His voice is soft and gentle, whispering sweet things and reassurances in your ear. His expression is warm sunlight in winter. And his kisses are graceful and numerous. The way his lips press against your jaw, chin, and outer lip are worshipful. He kisses you like he cherishes you, wishes for nothing more than to keep kissing you as long as you’ll allow it.
you’re treasure to him, not in the sense that you’re property to be hoarded or kept. But in the sense that you’re special, loved enough to guard and protect as an equal not just physically, but in every way possible.
izuku is sweet.
