I know its kinda odd but would you be willing to do hc’s for Xigbar? I love the trash gremlin mystery man
I just want to know what everyone’s nicknames are for him tbh. Also, I call bullshit that the blackcoat crew don’t have feelings, so get away from me with that negativity. Nothing in the KH world makes sense, so here, take this.
Dating Xigbar headcanons
Alrighty, look, you gotta sign this waiver before you date Xigbar okay? Let me just go through the questions. Are you okay with not knowing everything about this man? Are you okay with him disappearing every now and then and reappearing without much of an explanation? Are you okay with him going all hot and cold on you at times? These are things are happen with Xigbar and they’re not likely to stop, so if you’re not really okay with this, you’re in for a bad time.
Xigbar has a million and one affectionate nicknames for you. You think maybe he had one nickname for you, but then tried a few more and now it’s just a game to him. You get the usual ‘sweetheart’s, but it could ‘pumpkin’ one day and ‘muffin’ the next, finishing with a ‘cupcake’. Xigbar, maybe you’re just hungry…Hungry for you maybe huhuhuhu
Sarcasm. So much sass and sarcasm. You think he’s never serious about anything, but then after a while, you get good at picking out when he’s being sarcastic and when he’s possibly hiding some truth. Just before you get together, his sarcasm with you is probably better classified as flirtation? Like a ‘like you can’t tell how cute you are, sure, I believe you’, kind of vibe, you know?
Another way Xigbar flirts with you is through subtle touch. Before you’re together, he doesn’t touch you at all, but over time, it’s almost like he can’t help it? Like his hand brushing yours when you’re grabbing for the same thing, lightly resting his hand on your waist as he squeezes by, a hand on your shoulder as he walks past. At first, you think it’s just something he does, but then you notice he doesn’t do it with anyone else. You might think it’s on purpose, but honestly, it comes subconsciously; he wants to touch you. During the time he’s trying to fight his feelings for you, he just struggles to keep his hands to himself.
Reciprocal affection with Xigbar is sometimes hard because at times it’s like you hit a wall. He likes it when he flirts with you because he can control the level of affection that’s between you—he can control how much he feels for you. When you flirt with Xigbar and you’re affectionate with him, sometimes he suddenly gets aloof or indifferent. Maybe he’ll be dismissive and walk away and you won’t see him until much later in the day. It’s not you. He loves it when you show that you want him. This is just him struggling to keep you at a safe emotional distance. He doesn’t want to hurt you, but he knows that possibility is high if you’re with him. He’s got a lot of private stuff going on that no one can know about. He didn’t plan to fall for anyone, but here you are, literally perfect and hard for him to resist. It’s just—confusing as fuck.
That being said, when affection is accepted and Xigbar is indulging, it’s really nice. For someone who says he doesn’t feel much of anything, it sure does look like he feels something like contentment when you play with his hair or when you compliment him on his skills or whatever. Xigbar generally has this very sharp and rough killer kind of look, but when you’re with him his expression just softens. It’s different and it makes you feel special.
You might forget that Xigbar is honestly much more of a dangerous person than you really know. He’s had a lot of time to perfect his facade, so it’s easy to think he’s just some sassy and sarcastic dude and that’s it. However, sometimes you notice that some people who cause problems for you might just—not be a problem anymore. Maybe they suddenly stop or they’re just not around. You have an inkling that Xigbar might be the reason, but he never says anything and you have no proof. Maybe you’re just lucky—maybe not.
This relationship has a lot of bittersweet moments and a lot of conflicted feelings. Xigbar is caught between keeping you close and keeping you at arm’s length, so there’s a lot of mixed messages going around. It’s pretty stressful at times, to be honest, but stay strong! He does want to be with you, just understand that being with you also really conflicts with some longterm plans of his. Who knows what the future holds for the two of you?
