39. What recharges them when they’re feeling drained?
Hanging out with friends, mostly. He likes being able to go to the bar after work and relax with Tatsumi and Watari. He also likes spending time inside after a long day and just curling up on the couch with a movie, preferably with Hisoka curled up against him as well. He doesn’t like being alone even when he’s feeling drained and irritated, so just some quiet time with people he loves is nice.
43. How far did they get in formal education? What are their views on formal education vs self-education?
Tsuzuki attended public school as a child until around the first year of high school, at which point he dropped out at 16 after Ruka’s death. He was never very successful in academics, and got average marks in every subject he pursued – partially because of his mental illness making it difficult to keep his concentration, partially because of the horrific bullying he underwent as a kid, partially because of the bias against his family (since his mother had him out of wedlock, and Ruka refused to marry). After dropping out, most of his knowledge came from self education and life experience. He likes to learn, but doesn’t usually bother learning information or skills until it applies to his life.
He loves the idea of school more than he liked attending it, but he’s fully supportive of anyone who wants to learn more in life. He doesn’t have a preference for what kind of education a person receives, though has a lot of respect for people who are able to make it through all of high school and college without having a total breakdown.
In the security detail AU, Tsuzuki has graduated high school and was a university student for a year before he dropped out due to his mental health.
48. How do they express love?
When expressing love, he usually goes with words of affirmation and physical touch, though acts of devotion are very common with him as well. He’s very vocally supportive of the people he’s with, an excellent listener, tactile, and likes doing little things here and there for his partner. His favorite way to receive love is definitely physical touch coupled with quality time. Someone taking time out of their day for him means a lot, and he’s always happy to have someone rub his back or hold his hand or play with his hair, whether romantically or platonically. (Though giving him the last few bites of your cake slice doesn’t hurt either.)
