I'mma gon break you now! Headcanons with our young Mr Yoarashi and an S/O with no self confidence he's trying to help! >:)
break me?
more like go ahead, punk! make my day!!!
now, everyone, because Inasa reminds me of Papyrus... LET’S ALL JOG 50 LAPS, HOOTING ABOUT HOW GREAT WE ARE!!!!!!
INASA
Funnily enough, Inasa is most likely to end up with someone who doesn’t have a lot of self-confidence. The biggest thing is that, well… opposites attract! He finds shy, self-conscious people a bit endearing, for whatever reason. Another thing is that he gets hit by insecurity sometimes too, so he knows what it’s like. The two of them aren’t similar enough that they clash frequently, but they’re similar enough in this respect that they have something in common and can understand each other.
Alright, up and at ‘em!! Much as he can get lost in a moment of low confidence himself, his experience has been that if he can get himself up and moving, feeling like he’s being productive, that helps. So, naturally, that’s the first thing he turns to in an effort to help his S/O. A little self-consciousness is cute, but their confidence needs built up so they don’t keep thinking they’re not worth anything. Someone like Inasa doesn’t put up with that kind of constant thinking even though he loves them. His plan is to get them up early in the morning and do a little bit of exercise with them ― nothing too strenuous, some time on a stationary bike, some stretching, a walk outside if the weather permits. Oh, and did he mention he wants to hear them repeating a positivity mantra the whole time? “Come on, babe, you’re awesome, so let me hear you SAY IT!!!”
Really, (Name) ought to hear the way he talks about them when he thinks they aren’t there. The way he talks about them when they’re standing right next to him is already full of praise. When he’s waiting for them and talking to friends, if asked about them, he’ll get the biggest smile on his face and launch into whatever they’ve done lately. No matter what it is they’re doing, it’s all incredible to him. He couldn’t be prouder, and to listen to him singing their praises, bragging about them to other people, hopefully goes a long way to showing how enamored he is with them.
Though he does try to get them out of the house sometimes, he’s learned very well the signs that they really want or need to stay in, when they’ve been out long enough, etc., so he never forces anything. Does his best to persuade, sometimes, when he knows it won’t be detrimental to them, but never forces. Despite being someone who’s constantly on the highest setting and ready to go, Inasa really has no complaints about staying in for a while. It just gives him more excuses to cuddle up, kiss them, and tell them how great he thinks they are.
All things being equal, he obviously has to get some help here. He’s mostly worried about the potential that things he thinks may help might actually make things worse. He doesn’t know the best way to go about building up his S/O’s self-confidence, so he has to seek out techniques in order to not mess it up further. The only thing he actually has any idea how to do is love them. Books and websites and other people’s tips do give him a little assistance; should (Name) find out that Inasa has been doing research, they might feel guilty. His response is to hold them close and tell them not to apologize, because this is something he wanted to do, he just wants them to be happy because he loves them so much he can’t stand it… he just wants to be there to support them and make them feel good about themselves, and they might think that him doing so is unnecessary, but he doesn’t think so! He’s going to keep trying everything he can and there isn’t a thing they can do to stop him from doing his best to give them a ton of ego boosts!!
He loves loves loves to just hold them close and kiss them and tell them all the great things he likes about them. It’s definitely something he makes a habit of, even once they feel more confident.
