Title: S/O has ADHD (Death the Kid x Reader)
Genre: fluffy! mega floof (seriously, not teeth-rotting, but very fluffy)
Pairing: Death the Kid x Reader
Notes: Hey! Thank you for the request again!
I tried to do some typical things with this before writing it (research, anecdotal accounts from friends, etc.), so I hope that this is to your liking! I also hope that you can find comfort in this as I struggle with writing this like this even generally accurately (at least, that’s what I feel). Either way, please enjoy the headcanons!
(Sidenote: more writing for supposedly dead fandoms? Totally down for it, this is the second request I’ve gotten for Soul Eater and honestly? I’m ecstatic. Seriously, thank you for requesting for Soul Eater.)
Below the cut!
since dtk (essentially) canonically has ocd (though it is usually played off for comedic effect and is very over the top) i think he’d be able to grasp that his female s/o’s adhd is nothing to laugh at
which also means, if the two were dating, they’d both carry meds for the other
the alternative to that would be his s/o packing them when he and the twins weren’t looking, and dtk packing them when his s/o and their partner weren’t looking
(it can go either way, weapon or meister.)
that is only if the missions they take are away from Death City, though.
otherwise, the two would be each other’s fall back if they were to forget their meds or have a break in thinking
so, when kid is going into an anxiety attack because something at his home isn’t symmetrical, his s/o would be beside him and rubbing his shoulder until they can pull him away to talk.
i imagine he wouldn’t date anyone unless he could trust them, so if he were to let you pull him away to calm down, that right there-
that’s a true sign of trust on his part.
if he didn’t take his meds that day, too?
she’s on it, right in her bag!
she’d be very much on top of his health and wellbeing
vice versa, though
he’d be immediately on guard and almost overly protective of her if she were to deal with any issues
no meds? everyone, stay away. let me get her medicine, and leave us be for a few minutes.
panic attack? it’s okay, darling, you can cry on my shoulder. talk when and if you feel comfortable.
an injury? everyone, back away and have someone call an ambulance/the nurse. (depending on the situation of course.)
and, since the likelihood that you two met in school while at the DWMA is very high, both of these scenarios can happen to the both of you.
on the other hand, these things are normal occurrences for the both of you alone.
since you two understand each other’s problems on a certain level, there would be a deep sense of relation on both your parts
with that being there, i can’t imagine that either of you would leave the other’s side in their times of need.
though, sometimes, these things can become overbearing in the relationship
that doesn’t mean that the feeling lasts forever.
you both are there whenever you two need each other
so, if you get extremely hyper on any occasion, dtk is there and prepared to calm you down.
if he gets very controlling and commandeering in terms of symmetry, you are there to stop his tyrant attitude and bring him down a few pegs
you forgot to refill your meds? well, he’s there to help you from your panic until you get the refill
he can’t find his meds? you always have some spares for him with you when he needs to take them.
just, overall?
the common ground the two of you have is a very stressful thing to deal with, but you two are just what you need to bring you both down from your struggles with the problems.
and this also leads to some very romantic gestures on both parts, though mostly from dtk
if you suffer from more scary episodes, he will not hesitate to treat you to a big and fancy dinner, nor will he hesitate to provide a big bouquet of red roses for you
just, generally a big fluffy and secure relationship.
and yes, while he isn’t the best with his emotions at the beginning of the relationship, he learns very quickly.
