my hero academia love languages giving + receiving
part 3 characters: dabi, tomura shigaraki, kai chisaki/overhaul, atsuhiro sako/mr. compress
!! manga spoiler warning for dabi and shigaraki !!
dabi
giving- quality time
as mentioned in pervious parts having neglectful parents can result in love languages based on the affection they wanted but didn’t receive
dabi was neglected as a child a pushed aside in favor of his younger brother, pushing himself beyond his limits to try and regain his fathers or mother’s affection
so now as an adult he tries to show his love through quality time, because it’s something that he craved and still does
to him, spending time with you shows that he is choosing to spend his time with you because he loves and cares for you more than anything else he could be doing
he is spending time with you because you are the most important thing on his plate and you come before everything else, there is not a moment he spends with you that he wishes he was somewhere else
he’s never told you that but you have definitely picked up an a signal or two
like the way he tugs you back into bed when you return from the bathroom in the morning
or the way he will immediately hop onto the counter to sit and watch you while you cook
you can see that he’s trying to show you he love you, and you appreciate it
receiving- words of affirmation and quality time
dabi wants you to want to spend time with him
he wants you to ask him to cuddle for 5 more minutes
sure he’ll act like he has somewhere to be half-heartedly but you know the reason why he always puts you head under his chin is so that you can’t see the smile or blush on his face
he wants you to ask him to watch your favorite show or movie with him
and yeah he’ll pretend to be bothered at the prospect of sitting through the movie but the way he lays on your chest, brings your hand up to his hair, and practically purrs when you scratch his head says otherwise
he wants to know that he’s a priority in your life
someone who you will make time for and ask to spend time with you simply because you care about him
as mentioned above, he craves the attention he didn’t receive as a child
so you asking him to hold you to his chest after a bad day because his presence alone makes you feel better
he’ll try not to show his excitement or giddiness, and because you know him, you don’t tease him for how quickly he opens his arms to you or the grin he’s trying to hide by sucking on his cheek
tomura shigaraki
giving- words of affirmation and gift giving
shigaraki has no issue with telling people what he thinks of them
this includes compliments, even when directed towards his opponents
so telling you things that he likes about you won’t be hard for him
but saying the actual words i love you might be
so instead he compliments little things about you that people normally don’t notice
like your little habit of playing with your fingers or your bracelet
or the way that the right side of your mouth goes a little higher than the left when you smile
it’s important to him that you know he pays attention to you
i also see him as a gift giving person, again related to the neglectful parents and child hood trauma
the way he sees it, if he gives you something you’ve been wanting it shows that he listens and cares, similar with the way he compliments your little habits or features
he’ll get you the price of jewelry you’ve been eyeing without you even taking about it
he sees giving you things that will bring you joy as him bringing you joy
receiving- words of affirmation and quality time
again words of affirmation stems from the childhood trauma of his father constantly ridiculing him and all for one only really complimenting his power and quirk
he needs to hear that you love things about him that really are him
not his quirk, not his power, him for him
compliment his personality, his hair, his devotion, his smile, his laugh, his eyes, him
praise him for being just him and he will love you forever
he needs to spend time with you
he spend so long on his own with only emotionally unavailable people to count on
now that he has you he wants to spend every second that he can with you, basking in your presence and affection
if you ask to sit on his lap while he plays video games he might just melt into a puddle at your feet
the fact that you actually want to be around him means so much to him
and he wishes that he could figure out how to tell you how much you mean to him
kai chisaki/overhaul
giving- acts of service
kai wants to make your life as easy and carefree as possible
anything he can do for you he will
with exceptions of things that would expose him to germs
he’ll take you wherever you want to go and revels in the smile he can see in your eyes
he doesn’t even flinch when you grab his hand to pull him around
he’s ready to do anything to make and keep you happy, even if it means stepping out of him comfort zone
kai always has things like hand sanitizer, cleaning wipes, and extra masks on him
the second you need one of the three hes already whipping it out and putting it on you
if you have a smudge on your face kai will be wiping it off with a wipe before you even know it’s there
he wants to keep you healthy and safe, please let him
receiving- words of affirmation and acts of service
kai is big big big on words of affirmation
he needs to hear how much you love him and the things you like about him because sometimes he feels like a failure
before he got sick, his adoptive father would always reassure him when he was feeling insecure
but now that he can’t speak anymore kai slow lit feels worse and worse because he has no one to help get rid of his self deprecating thoughts
until you
you compliment him constantly, always praising something about him morning, noon, and night
if 3 hours go by with no compliment he thinks you’re mad at him and goes to get your favorite food to make up for whatever he did
his version of acts of service revolves more around the close attention/caring aspect of it
it not really, i want to make your life easier
it’s more like, i started carrying around extra masks, disinfectant wipes, travel lysol, hand sanitizer, and an extra pair of gloves because i know how badly you would react if you made contact with germs
the day you told him you carry around all that stuff was one that he will never forget
he absentmindedly said that he was starting to feel gross from touching things in public, even through the glove, and wanted to sanitize his hands/arms
and you just whipped out our travel lysol and hand sanitizer, passing him the snaitizer before spraying the lysol in the air and on any surfaces he might touch before putting both back in your bag
he just kinda subconsciously applied the hand sanitizer, it wasn’t until about 30 seconds later that he registered that you has a mini cleaning kit in your purse
when he asked you about it you told him that you never want him to be uncomfortable so you carry stuff for emergencies
that’s the story he will tell when people ask him how he fell in love with you
atsuhiro sako/mr. compress
giving- acts of service and gift giving
atsuhiro is big on theatrics, as we know
he loves doing big romantic gestures
and preforming magic for you
both end with a surprise gift because he loves seeing the look of surprise and awe on your face
he also loves using you as his assistant
and by the end of the trick you end up with a dozen roses in your arms and him giving you a standing ovation for your “performance that was beyond words my darling, truly magnificent!”
and you just smile and bask in the praise, knowing that all you did was stand there while also knowing that fact won’t stop him from acting like you’re the best assistant in the world
receiving- physical touch
i’m not sure why, but i get a big physical touch vibe from him
that’s part of the reason why atsuhiro loves doing tricks with you, because he gets to touch and be close to you for the whole thing
he adores you laying on top of his chest, fast asleep
he’s so grateful for you and the fact that you love him so much
on tiring days, he’s not sure how you know, but you always have his favorite show on with his favorite snacks ready to go for cuddle time on the bed
after his shower and he changes his clothes, he lays his head on your chest and you play with his curls
he can physically feel every muscle he has relaxing as you scratch his back and whisper words of love into his hair
your smell is comforting to him too
a/n: i’m sorry that mr. compresses is so short, but i could just not put into words why i feel like those are his love languages lol. this is the last part, at least for now -eden<3
part 3 characters: wakatoshi ushijima, eita semi, kotaro bokuto, keiji akaashi, rintaro suna, korai hoshiumi
!! time-skip occupation spoilers !!
wakatoshi ushijima
giving- words of affirmation and acts of service
these are his giving love languages because they are his receiving love languages
this is how he shows you he loves you because this is how he feels love
if you have been working hard on something, he will encourage and praise you all the way through
and when you finish he will make a fancy dinner and shower you with words of love
he makes a point to show interest in the things you enjoy and do them with you, because that’s what he want you to do
he is a relatively quiet person, but that doesn’t mention he doesn’t talk. he’s actually quite talkative. he just doesn’t speak often because he doesn’t feel like he needs to
but with you, someone he loves, he is as vocal as a song bird
constant “i love you”s and sweet heat felt compliments
he also loves doing things for you
setting up cute dates and making you dinner
taking you to that movie you’ve been talking about for months
just to show that he loves you and pays attention to everything you say
receiving- words of affirmation and acts of service
if expressing interest in his interests was a love language that would be his
if you express an interest in volleyball or one of his hobbies, his heart will literally burst
and if you ask him to show you how to play?
congratulations. you killed him with love
it makes him so giddy and happy because not only do you find it interesting, but you want him to show you how to do it
it’s both of the things he loves, his sweet significant other, and volleyball
words of affirmation are more for when he’s feeling down and doubting himself
it doesn’t happen super often, but sometimes he feels like he’s not good enough for the game or you
but all it takes are some soft kisses, head scratches, and a downpour of words of love from you, and he’s back to normal
he turns bright red when you compliment his volleyball skills, or even better, a specific play or spike that you say during his game
it tells him that you were paying attention, and that means the world to him
eita semi
giving- physical touch and acts of service
writing songs? easy peasy
telling his significant other that he loves them in more than just the three words without becoming a blushing mess and tripping over his words? never gonna happen
the middle ground is that he can sing the songs that you inspired to you, but he can’t look at you while he’s doing it or he’ll forget to strum his guitar and what like he was on
the acts of service are more sentimental things
things like songs he wrote about you, dates centered around your hobbies or interests, stuff like that
stuff that shows he loves you and listens to the things you say
he loves cuddling
that’s like, the only time he can sing to you without falling apart at the seems
he’ll play with your hair with you laying on his chest and softly sing a love song, one that he wrote or not
like he’s said before, he feels the need to show off his skills. acts of service is the best way to do that, and he just loves physical touch
receiving- physical touch and quality time
in this case, the quality time and physical touch go hand and hand
to him, it’s not really spending time with you if you’re doing separate things in the same room
you need to at least be touching or cuddling while doing your own things
like you laying your head in his lap while reading or scrolling on your phone while he writes songs or music
or sitting in his lap while he rests his head on your shoulder to take a nap while you’re typing on your computer
he likes knowing that you like being with him all the time
is makes him feel warm and fuzzy and loved
this isn’t really related, but for one of your anniversaries you painted a guitar for him as his gift and he cried
kotaro bokuto
giving- physical touch with a dash of words of affirmation
because he likes to be shown off in public through physical touch, that’s how he shows love as well
he’ll hold your hand and swing them back and forth
he’ll place kisses on your temple, head, forehead, cheek, other cheek, the tip of your nose, and one on your lips at any given time with no rhyme or reason as to why
he also like to put his hand around your shoulder or put waists so that you’re pressed right up against him
and he always stares at you lovingly
if you’ve had a bad day he’ll just scoop you up and take you to your bed so cuddle you until you feel better
always with kisses smacked on anywhere he can reach
the words of affirmation aren’t really intentional, he’s just a praising guy
he’ll just say what’s on his mind without thinking, and most of the time, especially around you, those are heart felt compliments that he doesn’t even realize fluster you to no end
he just says them and moves on as if he didn’t just compliment you in the sweetest way in the middle of the grocery store
receiving- words of affirmation and physical touch
we all know why words of affirmation is one of his love languages
but bokuto is also a very touchy person, especially in public
he loves it when you proudly hold his hand or kiss him in public because it shows him that you’re proud to be with him and you like to show him off
he has a big smile on his face whenever you do something like that
he also likes to cuddle at home. it’s calming and relaxing for him, it makes him feel safe and loved
he can’t sleep unless he’s holding or being held by you, or at least he never sleeps well
now back to words of affirmation
poor baby, he needs praise all the time
he’s the kind of boyfriend where if you say “love you” instead of “i love you” he’ll think that you’re mad at him
he worries a lot that he’s too much or not enough or too needy or too clingy
so please just reassure him that you love every part of him and text him “i love you kotaro” at least twice a day
keiji akaashi-
giving- acts of service and words of affirmation
his acts of service revolve around more things that actually help you
not that the others aren’t sweet but his are more like reviewing your email before you send it to your boss
or proofreading your essay before you send it to your professor
or having food ready for you the moment you walk in the door
and after years of coaxing bokuto out of emo modes, compliments and praise are just a given
almost a habit, but he always means what he says
they’re so nonchalant that you almost don’t register they he’s complimenting you
but he always has a small smile on his face when he says them
receiving- acts of service
if you do anything that makes his life easier he will damn near drop on his knee and propose to you on the spot
say you make him coffee in the morning because you know he stayed up late the night before editing
his eyes will love from the coffee to you back to the coffee and then he’ll stare at you for a little to long
and then he’ll gently grab your face and kiss you softly with a murmured “thank you love” before he sits down to drink it
and he will remember that and constantly think about it for the rest of the week
just simple, easy things like that
like making his favorite dinner at the end of a hard week, or packing him lunches with cute little notes, and texting him cute pictures or things that made you think of him
he’ll melt. he will literally melt from the warmth spreading through his body
rintaro suna
giving- physical touch
he’s not good with words and he’s not great with giving gifts
but my god does he love to touch you
i think this is more of a subconscious thing
like of course he says “i love you”
but you know he loves you when he gravitates over to you in a crowded room just to hug you from the back and rest his chin on your head
he just blindly and instinctively seeks you out
just to touch you
in the mornings he will get up from the bed and silently drift over to where you are, and just flip his body onto you in his tired search for the warpath you took when you got up
and it’s just so sweet that he doesn’t even realize he does it
he’s not big on pda, but he will absolutely be holding your hand
and if you let go of his hand he looks at you like “oh i know your bitch ass did not just do that shit”
and then he’ll snatch your hand back up with a playful glare
receiving- acts of service physical touch
like akaashi, his version of acts of service really comes in when you do stuff that makes his life easier
like plugging in his phone when he forgot to before bed
or washing his practice clothes because he forgot to and they reek
or packing him lunch to make sure he eats while he’s at practice
or taking care of him when he’s sick, this one is big because he loves to be spoiled with your love and attention
and like in his giving love language, physical touch is more of a subconscious thing
he just kind of seeks you out and feels sad when you leave him
but that sadness goes away as soon as you come back
korai hoshiumi
giving- words of affirmation
similar to bokuto, hoshiumis giving love language is the same as his receiving because that’s how he feels love
constant, and i mean constant praise
oh you accomplished something?
get ready for a cake that says “good job baby! i’m so proud of you!”
no matter how small whatever you accomplished was
if you even look slightly sad or insecure this boy is going to bomb you with compliments
everything is getting complimented. your body, personality, eyes, face, hair, legs, hell he’ll even compliment your ears
he wants you to see yourself how he sees you, and he has no issue reminding you of exactly how he sees you at every second of the day
he even texts you stuff like “you look so hot today babe”
and if your like “you haven’t even seen me today”
he’ll reply “i don’t have to see you to know you look hot babe” with a thousand emojis
receiving- words of affirmation
he. needs. to. be. told. that. you. love. everything. about. him. do. it. rn.
even with all of his self confidence, he still feels down sometimes
but those sometimes will be knocked down to almost never if you compliment and praise him even half as much as he does it to you
if after a game you tell him is spike looked harder or his jump looked higher he will get a giant grin on his face and pepper you with kisses
not to mention that the tips of his ears get red
and make sure you tell him you love him every morning, or he’ll be thinking about why you didn’t all day at practice
you need to tell him you love him before he leaves, text it to him at least twice while he’s gone, when he gets home, and before bed. he needs to hear it as often as possible
and he will damn near squeal like a teenager if you spam text him things you say him do during one of his games that you thought were cool
part 2 characters: kenma kozume, lev haiba, tetsuro kuroo, alisa haiba, takanobu aone, kanji koganegawa
!! time-skip occupation spoilers !!
kenma kozume
giving- acts of service and quality time
these are undoubtedly kenmas giving love languages
he joined volleyball just for kuroo and continued to play all through high school
that not only act of service but that’s also a lot of quality time together
plus i don’t think he’s very good with words
he’ll go with you anywhere you ask him to, any place or time
even if he doesn’t want to
if it makes you happy, he’ll do it. no questions asked
i think quality time is more of a subconscious thing
like he just kind of wants to be near you
so you end up spending a lot of time together
receiving- quality time
again, i don’t think that he fully realizes that this is his love language
he craves to be around you
he wants you to be comfortable just sitting in his room with him while he games
he likes eating dinner together to hear about your day and to tell you about his
i feel like he’s always been worried that people don’t like him, or like being around him
so making an effort to be around him a lot means a lot more to him than he can convey
it means even MORE to him if you show interest in his interests, AND want to do them with him
if he’s playing a game and you ask to play with him he’ll melt
i’m talking pupils form hearts, little blush on his cheeks, big smile, the whole nine yards
he’ll show you how to play and explain all the rules
and if it becomes a regular thing he’s gonna fall in love with you even more
lev haiba
giving- quality time and words of affirmation
he travels a lot for modeling so he likes to spend as much time with you and touch you as much as he can while he’s home
to him, it shows you that he misses you and never wants to leave you
which you know, oh boy you know
he’s like a giant baby koala
i see the haibas as a very close family who say i love you constantly
so because of that, it becomes a habit to tell it to the people he loves
not a habit period, he’s not going around saying it to everyone. but once he realizes he loves you he goes to say it all the time but kind of hesitates internally, worrying if it’s to early
but one he says it and you accept, he’ll say it constantly
receiving- words of affirmation
as i said before, i think the haibas are very close, and they say i love you all the time, so he’s used to hearing it from people that he knows love him
so it stresses him out a little if you aren’t as vocal about your love for him
plus he’s an insecure baby and when he’s away from home and he can’t touch you or spend time with you words of affirmation are the best route
even when he’s home, he wants to hear you say “i love you” over and over again until he dies
he’s not insecure in his looks or profession
is more that sometimes he worry’s he’s not mature enough for you, or his personality isn’t a good match with yours, or that you secretly find him annoying, or that he’s to stupid for you
so you just have to compliment his personality, his intelligence, and his cute little child-like habits
like how he still wears silly bands because “babe it’s shaped like a cat!! how do they even get it like that?!?”
adorable honestly
he just needs to hear that you love all of him, and he’s happy as can be
tetsuro kuroo
giving- words of affirmation
constant compliments
all the time
compliments you hair, eyes, body, cooking, smile, laugh, intelligence, anything that can be complimented will be
he’s big on affirmation, just in general it’s a captain thing
he feel that telling you what he loves about you specifically will show that he truly pays attention to and cares about you
he’ll say i love you at every opportunity, coupled with some type of compliment or bad pick-up line
when he comes home from work it’s a hug, a kiss, and a “your ass looks great in those pants babe, they must be genes,” with a wink, and then he starts laughing at his own stupid joke
which prompts at least a giggle from you
which in turn prompts another compliment from him about how cute your laugh is
receiving- quality time
he would purposely wake up at god knows what time every morning to go to kenmas house to sit with him while he played video games
then proceed to drag kenma to play volleyball with him
you can’t tell me this mans love language isn’t quality time
he does like for you to be doing the same thing
but you’ll switch every now and then from something he likes to something you like
doing the things you both like the most
he’ll play with your hair and cuddle you while you read, write, or game
he’ll put you in the seat next to him or in his lap while he works
he watches you cook or you watch him cook
quality time just screams “i love you so much that i want to spend every minute i possibly can with you. i don’t care what you’re or i’m doing”
alisa haiba
giving- words of affirmation
she’s a big sister, and i think all big sisters (in my personal experience) are pretty big on compliments and praise
as i mentioned above in levs, the haibas seem like a close family, so i see them as the type to say “i love you” a lot to each other. to the point where it becomes a habit to say it to those that you love
a habit that extends to you, her spouse
the first time she said it to you y’all were talking on the phone and when she want to hang up she said “bye, i love you” purely out of habit
you felt like you were on fire and she hung up before you could say it back
6 minutes later you got a bunch of spam texts apologizing, to which you replied, “it’s okay! i actually liked it!” which relieved her worries
it’s not that she didn’t mean it, because of course she did! it’s only a habit to say it to those she actually loves, not just anyone she talks to. but she didn’t want to scare you off so she was stressed as hell once she realized what she said
but all is soothed once you tell her it’s okay, and that you love her too
now as a certified lovey dovey woman fight me on this i dare you she feels as though it’s her duty to tell you everything she loves about you and compliment every inch of your being and personality. it never stops
compliments in the morning, compliments over texts, calls just to say that she loves and misses you, she comes home from modeling trips and immediately talks about all your little habits that she missed while she was away. she is the best girlfriend ever istg
receiving- words of affirmation and physical touch
like lev, she kind of expects to hear i love you from those that she knows love her because of her family
so when you don’t say it as much for a few days, or don’t sound as enthusiastic she stresses
so be sure to tell her you love her at least twice a day
whether it be over text, on a call, or in person. she just needs to hear it
she also loves to touch and be touched
loves to pepper kisses all over your face, and burns cherry red with a big grin on her face when you do it back
she loves to lay on your lap while you play with her hair
she loves it when you give her forehead kisses as you walk past her, these are especially important because she likes that you take the time to acknowledge her even on your way to do something
she is a massive cuddle bug and absolutely like to be the big and little spoon
and one of her absolute favorite things in the world is when you wake her up by playing with her hair a pressing soft kisses to her face
takanobu aone
giving- acts of service and quality time
as we all know, he is not vocal most of the time, let alone with his feelings
BUT that doesn’t mean he doesn’t go above and beyond to show that he loves you in other ways
he absolutely loves to set up cute at home dates
building forts to watch movies in, cooking together, dancing in your living room
he’s just much more comfortable at home, but sometimes he worries that you get bored and he’ll try to do something extravagant, but still at home
like a very fancy dinner prepared by himself, coupled with a very fancy dressed boyfriend, and a very fancy dining set up
he even gets you your own fancy clothes
he just loves you so much and wants to show that you’re worth every ounce of effort that he puts into your dates
his the quality time that he gives is included in the little at home dates and eating dinner together
and it’s a bit of a projection of his own desire for quality time
but that’s okay, because every second spent with him is filled with nothing but love
receiving- acts of service and quality time
with a pinch of physical touch, but only in private. baby is NOT a fan of big pda
y’all probably met because you sat next to him on the train when there were other seats open🥺
which fueled his acts of service love language AND his quality time love language
your stop was before his but still close, so you spent the train ride talking to him
well you were mostly talking but he gave you soft answers and that counts!!
he was worried that he messed it up and your stop was soon, but he got tomato red when your stop came and you scribbled your number on a price of paper to give to him
melted his heart
doing stuff like that for him
going out of your way to spend time with him and do things you know he’ll love no matter how much time it takes, those are the ways to show how much you love him
he, like everyone else, gets insecure from time to time, so making an effort to set up an at home date or cook him his favorite food really shows him that you think he’s worth the effort
kanji koganegawa
giving- acts of service and words of affirmation
he not only wants to tell you that he loves you, he also wants to show it
like running to the store at 11:00 at night because you were craving candy
or suggesting a tv show because that one actress you like is in it
or warming up your pajamas in the dryer because he could tell you had bad day
and during which he shouts “i love you” as he runs out the door
or excitedly says “i love you!” while setting down your dinner
or whispers “i love you” as he cuddles you in bed
he just feels like it’s necessary for you to have a sure and positive way of knowing he loves you along with the more subtle way
receiving- acts of service and words of affirmation
he stresses a lot about whether or not he’s good enough for you and good enough on the court
the acts of service is more things like
you showing up to one of his games, wearing his jersey waving a big sign with his number on it that says “you got this baby!”
he spots you mid-play and it’s a honestly a miracle that he snapped back into the game in time to set the ball
now obviously the acts of service and words of affirmation are needed outside of volleyball, but these are the times when they’re most important to him
after they win or lose is when the words of affirmation come in the most
if they win, he’ll run up to you, pick you up, spin you in a circle, and giggle when you plant kisses all over his face. between each kiss is something like “i’m so proud of you!” “i was telling everyone around me that you’re my boyfriend!” “i love you so much baby you did so good!”
if they lose, he’ll jog up to you and just like, flop his body onto yours. you scratch his back, kiss his cheeks, and say stuff like “you did good baby” “i know you tried so hard, i’m so proud of you” “i told everyone around me about how good you are, and you showed them exactly why i had bragging rights”
close, but the loss has more affirmations. and if you tell him that you were bragging about him and proud even after he lost, it would comfort him to his core
a/n: why are some of these so hard to put into words like damn. sorry this took so long i had a mental breakdown <3
i finished this while i was using my weighted hula hoop. i have to do it for 30 minutes so i need something to kill the time ahha
physical touch because he feels like he’s shielding you if he has an arm around you or if he’s holding you hand or holding you body
he feels like he’s protecting you
he’ll move you to the inner part of the sidewalk and put his arm around your waist or shoulders
he’ll hold your hand while you cross the street
he’ll kiss your temple and rest his forehead on yours when you say goodbye, even if he’s just going to work
he feels like it’s important to show you that he wants to be with you, touch you, love you
he feels as though he can convey his emotions better through actions than words
so he pours all of his love into his little touches and kisses
he’s not going to make out with you in public, but he will give you pecks on the lips and cuddle right up next to you while your sitting
he just likes to be touching you all the time
receiving- words of affirmation
in high school, iwaizumi compared himself to others, especially oikawa, a lot. and while he hold no ill will against them, it just put doubts in his head that he nor they can control.
those things often ease with age, and they did for the most part, but sometimes being around massively successful people can dig up those buried insecurities. and he needs you to reassure him
so please please tell him how much he means to you. tell him you love him. tell him you’re proud of him. tell him you care about him and his well-being
hold his face in your hands and whisper all the little things he does that you adore. all his little habits and routines that you notice and love
tell him that he will never have to worry about coming in first because there is no one for him to compete against
promise him that you love every inch of his being
that you love all of his strengths and weaknesses
all his perfections and flaws
just tell him you love him, he needs to hear it
kentaro kyotani
giving- physical touch
he’s not great at expressing him emotions verbally
but by god he’s touching you all. the. time.
he wants you to know that he’s there for you if you need him, even if he’s bad with words
he wants you to know that he’ll always be there to comfort and love you because that’s everything that he wants
his touches are also a tad for protection, but that’s more of a subconscious thing
he’s not big on pda, but he will give you forehead kisses and hold your hand while you walk
maybe even put a hand on your thigh while your sitting, if not, he’s sitting so close to you that your thighs are touching
it’s comforting for him, so he hopes that it’s comforting for you
he doesn’t have many people in his life that he’s super comfortable touching, so once he finds one he’s never gonna stop
poor touch starved baby
receiving- physical touch and quality time
kyotani spends a lot of time alone, but i don’t really think it’s of his own merit
i think he likes to spend time with people but feels as though they don’t want him there or that they will clash so it’s better to avoid them all together. an insecurity that formed in middle school that rears its ugly head now and then
so spending time with him is a huge factor is showing that you love him
it reassures him that you enjoy being around him and like his personality
he loves to touch you too
if he could spend all day with you alone cuddled together in bed he would be happy
he likes feeling that you’re there, this plays into the feeling alone thing
he likes touching you so he knows you’ll be there when you need him, the same reason why his giving language is physical touch as well
he doesn’t really need words of affirmation, he thinks actions speak louder than words
an example being his respect for iwaizumi compared to his respect for oikawa
so giving him that comforting touch that he craves and spending lots of time with him is the way to go
yuu nishinoya
giving- physical touch and word of affirmation
biting is his love language
as we have seen time and time again, nishinoya touches the people he cares about constantly
he’s also big on praising them for their accomplishments and hard work paying off
those forms of love extend to his spouse
whether your relationship is long distance or you travel around with him, physical touch and words of affirmation are his way of conveying his love to you
if it’s long distance, he’ll get you a stuffed animal that you can hug in his place and send you loads of texts whenever he can. long distance may be a little hard though considering that one of his receiving love languages is quality time
if you travel with him, he’s constantly hugging you, dancing around with you, jumping on you, praising your cooking or newest accomplishment, and telling you over and over agin how much he loves you
i’m not sure if he realizes how often he shows his emotions through these language forms, but this is a relationship where you would never doubt his love for you
receiving- words of affirmation and quality time
nishinoya gets worried and insecure that he’s not good enough for you, and words of affirmation are something that helps extinguish those fears
when he is doubting himself during a match or while trying a new move, praise from his teammates would always help him back into the right headspace
so, when he’s insecure about himself or his qualities praise from you helps him back into the right headspace
he needs to hear that you think he’s doing good, and the his efforts are noticeable and appreciated
he needs to know that he’s appreciated
quality time is also huge for him
if he notices you spending less time with him or drifting away he’ll feel like he did when asahi and ennoshita quit the team
so don’t be shy with the clingyness, this boy will bask in it
he loves when he comes home and you have a little date night set up because you put in all this effort just to spend time with him
it’s makes his head and heart feel fuzzy and warm
tobio kageyama
giving- quality time
kageyamas not very good at expressing his feelings
and he’s not very good with words, with the occasional exception
but quality time is important to him, so he hopes that you’ll be able to see how much you mean to him through that
he’ll actively make time for you, even if you don’t ask him to
if you tell him that you’ve been having a bad week, he’ll drop what he’s doing to make a little relaxing date night for you at home and spend the rest of the night letting you vent while scratching your back and playing with your hair
he wants you to know that he’ll always be there to back you up. through thick and thin
receiving- words of affirmation and quality time
we’ve seen how much being with the team improved his mental health
whether from him knowing they’ll always have his back or their words of praise, he has come a long way in terms of confidence and a good sense of self
and while he is in a much better mental state now as an adult, those insecurities never fully went away
so whenever he has a bad practice where his sets don’t seem to be lining up, and he gets frustrated with himself which leads to frustration with his teammates
he longs to come home to you, knowing that you’ll give him the reassurance that he needs
you’ll sit down with him and scratch his head, you’ll put on a volleyball match that he’s been meaning to watch, and tell him everything he needs to hear
tell him that it’s only one bad practice, tell him that his teammates still value and appreciate him, tell him how much you love him, and he’ll relax and bask in your love
you’re always there for him when he feels alone, and he appreciates that more than be can explain. so he hopes you can tell
you can
kiyoko shimizu
giving- acts of service
kiyoko shows how much she cares through acts of service, like washing the banner and constantly being there for and helping yachi
she’s also been shown to not be very good with words, so this is the best and easiest way for her to show her love
she gets you food when you mention that you’re hungry
she runs back to the car to grab something you forgot
she pulls up your favorite movie for when you get home because you mentioned you haven’t watched it in a while
she listens to everything you say, and does whatever she can to help you, no matter how inconvenient it is
she is showing that it doesn’t matter if its difficult, she’s willing to do anything for you
and while she may not be able to convey that through words or touches, she sure as hell shows it through actions
receiving- quality time
spending so much time with yachi is part of what made her feel like a close friend to kiyoko
she mentioned how when she was on the hurdle team she didn’t feel close to any of the girls
taking the time to open her up and get to know kiyoko is something that always puts butterfly’s in her stomach
the fact that your willing to wait for as long as it takes for her to be comfortable with you means more than she can describe
after she’s comfortable with you, quality time is still just as important
continuing to set time aside for her shows that you still care and will continue to care for her every day
she likes to watch movies and tv shows, she likes to have spa days, she likes to cook with you, she’ll do practically anything if it means doing it with you
and the fact that you put so much effort into the time you spend with her shows that you feel the same way
aoi himekawa
giving- quality time and gift giving
we don’t see a ton of himekawa so i’m going purely on vibe here
he seems like the type of person who just likes to exist in the same space as you
just doing your own things together, it brings him peace and comfort
he also will come home with random gifts that he saw on his walk home
he’ll pull out a random keychain and tell you that he bought if for you because it’s your favorite color
or he’ll get you a shirt with your favorite band or artist on it because he remembered you like them
over all he’s a very giving person, things like quality time and gift giving are ways of showing love through that trait
receiving- words of affirmation and acts of service
poor anxious baby himekawa
he really needs you to tell him you love him as often as you possibly can
and please hold his hand in public
show him off, be proud of him, please
he’s a little insecure of himself, he thinks that sometimes he’s not good enough for you
his version of acts of service revolve more around romantic acts
like holding his hand in public, making him his favorite food for a date night, setting up a little fort to cuddle and watch movies in just cause
things like that make his heart swell because you did that for him, him!! he gets the biggest and most adorable smile in his face
words of affirmation are big to
he likes to hear the things you love about him more than the actual words i love you
not that he doesn’t love hearing you say i love you
but hearing specific things that you love about him makes him feel special, it shows the effort and attention you give to him
and he loves knowing that he’s worth that much to you
a/n: can you tell that i’m projecting lmfao
i kinda hc all haikyuu characters as having quality time as a love language because of how much time the spend with their team/friends, even if it is for practice. i feel like with how much time they’re willing to put into the sport they love they would also put that much time into their relationships with people they care about
my hero academia love languages giving + receiving
part 1 characters: katsuki bakugo, eijiro kirishima, momo yayorozu, mina ashido, shoto todoroki
katsuki bakugo
giving- acts of service
bakugo has done things to show people that he cares through acts of service
like short circuiting denki to make everyone laugh before they moved into the dorms and giving kirishima money for the nighvision goggles he bought
so of course that would roll over into his relationships
he constantly makes you food, and packs your lunch every day.
he even puts little notes in them!
he likes to make handmade gifts for anniversaries and birthdays. or at least a handmade gift or card with a store bought one
i mean like letters telling you what he loves about you, a personal coupon book, cheesy cute stuff like that that you know took time and effort
he bakes you a cake every birthday from scratch because you don’t know what’s in those store bought cakes, as he says
but you know it’s because he wants to bake it for you himself and drown in your praise because of how good it is and how much you appreciate it
receiving- acts of service and quality time
bakugo seems to think that actions speak louder than words, so it’s only fitting that his love languages reflect that
he wants you do spend time with him, even if your just in the same room together
he wants to know that you like his presence and appreciate his company
it reassures him and helps calm his insecurity of not being likable
bakugo wants you to do things for him like he does them for you
he wants you to give him massages without him having to even say his muscles are sore
he wants you to write him little notes and send him texts throughout the day
he wants you to get takeout from his favorite restaurant because you know he’s had a bad week
and of course you deliver
eijiro kirishima
giving- physical touch
mister manly man over here subconsciously touches you all the time
he’ll just gravitate towards you without even realizing it
and the next thing he knows his arms are around your waist and his chin is resting on your head as you continue your conversations with whoever or continue your task
kirishima likes having his arm around your waist in public
it makes him feel like he’s protecting you by keeping you close and shielding your body with his
he’ll give you little kisses on the top of your head and pull you into his side so your tucked into his chest
he gets pouty when you won’t sit on his lap
he just wants to cuddle you damnit!
receiving- words of affirmation and physical touch
kirishima has some insecurity issues
while acts of service and quality time are appreciated
being verbally reassured is huge for him
he likes hearing that you believe in him and think he’s a great hero
he loves hearing you say i love you, especially when he’s sitting and you’re standing between his legs, cradling his head to your chest and whispering it into his hair
in moments like those he feels so loved
he can feel your love through your touches and hear it dripping from your words
it’s so crystal clear to him that there’s no way his subconscious can deny it, that’s why they are his love languages
because no insecurity can shout louder than you do when you whisper i love you to him while you’re cuddling in bed
momo yayorozu
giving- acts of service
momo loves helping other people, so of course this would extend to her partner
you need help studying? she’s got color coded notes and she’s ready to explain every letter
you’re hungry? well it may not taste great but she will make you food
you need someone the proof read your report? she’s already getting comfortable in your favorite chair so you can cuddle with her while she reads it
if there is anything she can do to make your life easier, she will do it.
no questions asked
she wants to show you that she’s willing to every ounce of effort she has into making you feel happy and loved
receiving- words of affirmation and gift giving
we’ve seen that momo can get in her own head, and words of affirmation help pull her back out
reassurance is very important to her, she likes to hear that you love her and believe in her
it’s comforting for her to hear that you love her every day, it stops her from worrying about if you were angry or upset and that’s why you didn’t tell her this morning
now gift giving comes from her family background
it’s typical for rich parents to give their children gifts as acts of love, so quite a few rich children develop gift giving as their only or one of their love languages
but the expense of the gift doesn’t matter to momo
her version of this love language is more along the lines of “i saw this cute keychain and thought of you so i bought it for you!”
it gives her butterflies knowing that you see things that remind you of her and buy them for her
the things you buy hold a special place in her heart and cheer her up when she’s down
even if it’s a plastic ring from the bargain bin
mina ashido
giving- quality time and acts of service
mina is a very extroverted and sweet person
she’s constantly surrounded by the people she likes and cares about, it’s only fair to assume that she would like to be around her partner just as much
she honestly just likes being in the same room as you, even doing your own separate things
though she would rather be cuddling and watching a movie or tv show
we saw how willing she was to teach everyone how to dance for the festival, so it’s safe to assume that act of service is a giving love language as well
she likes to do things for you to show you that she cares
and if it’s something your passionate about of course she wants to help you
receiving- physical touch
mina LOVES to touch you
she has no qualms against pda, but she’s not about to make out with you in a hallway
she likes to hold your hand, put her hand in your back pocket, wrap her arm around you waist or shoulders, and she’ll give you little pecks on your cheek and the tip of your nose
when your sitting she will be so close that your thighs are touching
she’ll put a hand on your knee or on your thigh
she’ll lay her head down on your lap and move your hand to play with her hair
or she’ll lay your head down on hers
she loves to touch you, anywhere and everywhere
having physical contact with you at all times reminds her that your there
it comforts her in a way and makes her feel safe
shoto todoroki
giving- words of affirmation and quality time
shoto is very blunt and vocal about his emotions and thoughts
so words of affirmation is a clear love language for him to have
he tells you he loves you every morning with a kiss on your head or hand
he tells you he loves you before he leaves and when i’m he comes back
and he tells you he loves you every night before bed
he wants to remind you constantly so you never doubt his love for you
quality time is one that’s more subconscious
when he doesn’t spend as much time with you as he normally does he feels kinda down and drained
he’s still not sure why
receiving- words of affirmation and gift giving
baby’s dense
shoto isn’t stupid, in fact he’s very smart
but he’s new to the whole relationship thing
so he needs to be shown and told in obvious ways that you love and care about him
he’s not great at picking up signals or seeing that some of the more subtle love languages are in fact love languages
i feel like the other ones would leave him guessing
gift giving is another clear and obvious love language
but like momo, shotos version of gift giving doesn’t rely on expense
he likes when you give him things you think he might like
or when you pick up or make him lunch
or when you buy him a pair of red and white socks because they match his hair
it shows that you’re constantly thinking about him, and he loves that

there will be dark content on this blog. everything will be tagged accordingly and i will put warnings before the posts as well as a read more option. i will tag every kink or possibly triggering experience used in my writing, but i want to give a clear warning before hand just in case. if you find something triggering that i don’t tag, please let me know so that i can tag it from now on
there will be 18+ content on this blog so minors do not interact (meaning please don’t read, like, reblog, or share my 18+ work)
every character i will write anything about, including fluff, angst/angst to fluff, smut, and dark content will all be 18+ whether it be in a time skip or an au. i will not write about high school/underage characters no matter if the plot is sfw or not. all my hero characters will be pros/18+, all haikyuu characters will be post time skip, and all other characters will be 18+. i may use haikyuu high school teams to separate characters into groups but they will not be in high school.

remember that i am a person with a life outside of this blog, so posting will not be on a set schedule. i get burnout quite often due to personal issues so that will slow posting as well

posts and tags
simulations are categorized by color and their tags will match:

updates on my personal life/content updates will be tagged as an eden update !!
asks will be tagged as simulator inquiries
reader pronouns and anatomy
for fluff, angst, and angst to fluff content i will use gender neutral pronouns unless requested otherwise and i will most likely not include body anatomy/type as i try to make them as gender neutral and inclusive as possible
for dark and 18+ content i will use female pronouns and anatomy unless requested otherwise
for dark and 18+ content the body type and skin tone of the reader will be loosely based on myself but i will try to be as inclusive as possible. i typically write with my own body anatomy/type as its the most comfortable for me to write about, and i often place myself in the situation mentally to describe what’s happening. i will try to be as inclusive and neutral as possible but sometimes it slips my mind
i have some kinks that i will be writing about in my dark and 18+ content, like spanking (turns my skin bright red/pink) and belly bulging, that apply to my body type and skin tone specifically. that being said, they will be tagged accordingly and i will still do my best to be as inclusive as i can and will correct any slip ups that i notice
