How you and Abyss got together (Linear Confession HCS)
A/N: Here's the other part ish of the Abyss dating hcs. Ig it is similar to a part one part two but meh they're not super connected like u don't need one for the other I js yapped too much
These r basically just hcs leading up to the confession
HCS UTC
Tbh he is crazyy unprepared for a relationship that is built on and relies on mutual love, so I think there would have to be both patience and assertiveness to help him arrive at a point where he's comfortable being in a relationship
Abyss often is portrayed as not really allowing himself to have thoughts of his own, just mirroring whatever he expects Abel would like to hear from him, and viewing himself more as a weapon or accessory than anything, so I imagine he is very short with you when meeting you and very quiet in general
Your interest in him is probably what drove your relationship i mean he probably wears a mask/eyepatch to class and wields a sword
I think a lot of your communication would be through actions as Abyss isn’t used to anyone caring about how he may feel or think so it's hard for him to formulate it or even understand it
You probably first started interacting through random notes you passed to him or left for him to find, asking random questions about him like a penpal almost
He was a bit skeptical and cautious at first, thinking it was some sort of encrypted code from an enemy or a ploy from a scammer, so for a while he’d fold the notes and keep them in his room to “gather evidence”
In part, this really was to gather evidence, but a lot of it was him finding solace in the idea that someone outside of Abel and Mash would find him interesting or even pleasant
When he asked Abel for advice, he basically told him to ignore it since they had a mission to complete, but, for once, I’m not sure if he would fully comply (Not like Abel really gaf 😭)
He considered throwing it all away out of frustration at the situation but def felt and feels bad the whole time because if you really did find him pleasant then no doubt your opinion would change if he ignored you and he knows exactly how it feels to be ignored so he’s unsure about doing that to someone
After thinking it over for some time he’d probably try to compromise by gathering all of the notes you left him and responding to each question, (Even the questions he doesn’t want to answer will yield a response. Sth like “No comment” or a circle– something to indicate that he did read it) then noting that he will not respond again as he is busy
He's so sweet even though this is him at his meanest/strictest, he’d make you like a paper crane or paper boat to apologize for the late responses even though the thought of talking with someone he knows nothing about terrifies and frustrates him (Like what if you hate boats?? There's too much unpredictability)
After all the taking over the world stuff is resolved he’d probably find himself missing your notes since you stopped writing him after learning he wouldn’t respond
Although you weren’t friends, he still liked having the routine of expecting to find a note somewhere or to have one passed to him in class
He’d honestly probably try writing notes of his own but overthink too much about the contents of the notes rewriting them until they tear from the eraser overuse or just crumpling them up entirely because it's too embarrassing to think about
You’d probably pick back up after seeing him start to fold origami out of the failed notes he had written (He folds origami to destress ok 💔)
You’d probably compliment his origami and meet directly for once (Not like he could say much; he was sputtering the whole time– esp if you have a ‘fem’ style)
Ofc you’d basically talk at him about what happened, asking if he's less busy now, to which he can only nod his head and you’d get back to writing notes and even hanging out in person at times (which would basically be you talking at him or you both silently being together)
Honestly, the big step up from friend to love interest is when he invites you to meet Abel and Mash (Mixing friend groups is a big step for him since he’s only really been vulnerable around them [Not by choice but still])
I think you’d start dating sometime after a major event that forces him to be even a bit vulnerable around you
An example of this would be like seeing his “cursed” eye for the first time after his mask broke; maybe he brought it to you to fix it or wanted to ask if you could make an eyepatch for him
You didn’t want to pry and wanted to encourage him, so you’d make sure he knows you don’t hate him for his eye, and that he doesn’t need to keep secrets with you because you love him no matter what
He’d frs short-circuit after hearing that esppppp because you made sure to tilt his head up so you could look into his eyes when telling him ✅YUP IKTR
He could barely choke out a “you too”, which you couldn’t really hear but he refused to (couldn't) say or do anything else
