Any headcanons for if Zero's S/O had an anxiety disorder or depression? I'm sorry if this is a bit much for a request, and you can decline if needed. Though I apologize ahead of time.
This isn’t too much at all, dear. That is a very real and valid struggle, and if you ever need anyone to talk to or vent about the struggles that come along with anxiety and depression, my inbox is open. Anyways, onto the headcanons! The first few are for depression, the last few are for anxiety. Hope you enjoy them!
✿ Zero wouldn’t be used to dealing with someone who had depression, since Yuki’s so happy all the time he wouldn’t catch on at first. He mistakes it as sadness at first, and is confused why you’re constantly unhappy, but when you explained it to him, he would be so supportive.
✿ He’s more quiet in a relationship, and can be kind of harsh at times, but he was more nurturing to you when he found out about his s/o’s disorder.
✿ Expect him to ask questions about it at first so he understands what it is and how to take care of you properly.
✿ If certain things triggered your depression more heavily, he’d be very sensitive to those types of subjects. If anyone triggered your depression, he would get very protective.
✿ Lots of “How are you feeling?”, “Is it bad today?”, and “Is there anything I can do to make it better for you?” He wants to help you through your disorder.
✿ As for your anxiety, that would be something he relates to. People make him anxious as well, so when he learned of your own struggle, he’d be very apologetic to what you’re going through because he knows what it’s like.
✿ Wouldn’t push you to do things you don’t want to do. If you’re feeling particularly anxious, you two can have a lay in and watch whatever you want.
✿ Zero is really good at helping you through your panic attacks, he would hold your hands, and tell you to take deep breaths with him. If it’s in public, he tunes everyone out and only focuses on getting you calm.
✿ When you are calm, he lets you have a good cry and holds you close, telling you that it is not at all your fault.
✿ Anyone calls you weird for your anxiety, they would wind up in critical condition.
✿ If you’re anxious about school or work, he would do anything to take the pressure off you. Sit alongside you and help make sure you’re studying or completing stuff for work, and he’d never complain about it.
✿ Your disorder would never be seen as an inconvenience. He recognizes it as a very real thing, and he’s there to support you through it no matter what.
