Okay, so I was looking through the SDRA2 Masterlist and I realized that I requested for Tsurugi 7 times but never requested for general dating Headcanons. So could I get dating HCs for him please? Thanks
Ok ok, moody police officer, got it
Sorry my finals just ended and I just got into the headspace to write again woo.
🛑Hella Spoilers🛑
Also sorry I wrote like an entire fucking book for him instead of simple headcanons I just got on a role and went with it. I honestly really love this character.

Tsurugi Dating Headcanons
=
Older Tsurugi
🚓 Tsurugi has a lot of issues he has yet to deal with yet, regardless of when you meet and get into a relationship with him
🚓 He is honestly worse to try to communicate after the events of DRA, but if you somehow get past that and break through those walls of his, you can clearly see just how broken he is emotionally
🚓 If you've been with him since before he was in the "game" and survived, you better believe he's going to be somewhat softer (only with you) despite his "change of heart"
🚓 He will never ask you for help though, not until he's at the point when he's broken down
🚓 Regardless of when you're together, he's awkward, distant, stubborn and protective as hell
🚓 Behind closed doors he'd like nothing more than just to spend some quality time with you, where he can finally relax for a little while and enjoy being able to hold you without fear of losing you
(which is often a very rare occurrence due to his PTSD putting a strain on your relationship)
🚓 Scary dog right? Hell yeah. Y'all got like a scary junk yard dog that barks so loud it sometimes scares itself
-
With him before DRA events?
🚓 He for sure tracked your ass down after he escaped the island, he was one of the only ones with memory fragments left
🚓 Believe me, if Utsuro had the balls to mention you to get him to feel despair, he's going to make sure it isn't just a bluff
🚓 If you happen to be brainwashed by Junko's videos, propaganda, and the riots, you're going straight into rehabilitation
🚓 (Otherwise) You're going to be living with him, there is no debate after he finds you again
🚓 He's got you your own personal security team, it's annoying at times but at least you can understand the sentiment of it
🚓 He honestly worries about him scaring you away sometimes...
🚓 You're one of the only people he allows to get within 3 foot from him without meeting the barrel of his service weapon
🚓 It takes a lot more for him to snap at you than it does for him to yell at others, he simply has learned to control himself better when you're around
🚓 If he's being honest, he'd prefer if you were always in his field of vision, but he knows well that you have your own life besides for him and considering what his job is, you could get hurt
🚓 On the off-chance you get hurt he will deal with whoever or whatever hurt you, god hope he spares them by not dragging it out
🚓 He will never allow you to get into a position where you could become just another casualty of justice
🚓 He's more likely to listen to you when you tell him he needs a break, and that's saying a lot
🚓 You can sometimes catch him staring at you in that lovesick puppy way, it's not quite a common occurrence like it was before back in Hope's Peak (but it's a sign that he's still the same Tsurugi you knew back then)
🚓 Others can clearly see the impact you have on him, to the point where you've become the Kisaragi Foundation's appointed negotiator specifically for him (because he'll actually let you speak and think about what you say before dismissing it)
🚓 He does appreciate the constant concern you show for health, much more than you think he does
🚓 The affection you give him makes him melt, but he prefers that others don't see/hear you
🚓 You are constantly on his mind, almost like a borderline-yandere like obsession, it's caused him to always second-guess his decisions before going through with anything
🚓 Of course, he's worried about how his decisions affect you
🚓 It's almost funny how much he actually cares compared to what he's willing to show others

Younger Tsurugi
🚓 His younger self is much easier to talk to, to persuade, and to compromise with
🚓 You attempting to help him with his issues makes a bigger impact on him then he'd ever be able to explain to you
🚓 Modest sweetheart, easier to fluster than you think
🚓 A simple kiss to the cheek has him red in the face, though that's mostly from his embarrassment (man's got zero dating experience and here you are loving on him, you're good for him!)
🚓 Unknowingly touch-starved, (give him affection he deserves it, this is a threat)
🚓 You might not go on very many dates, but the ones you do are special enough to get a picture-perfect moment for
🚓 He always has your back in an argument with someone else
🚓 Got people messing with you? Not anymore, he already made sure of it
🚓 Doesn't really care about what kind of talent you have (if you have one at all) and will still praise you regardless (it's more like an off-handed comment, sometimes he doesn't even realize what he said until you're hugging him)
🚓 Hands down would shoot someone for you, very few questions asked (please teach him not to always resort to violence)
🚓 He constantly worries he's going to screw up, not surprising
🚓 Will you get him to finally see a therapist? Maybe. He's thinking about what you told him
