established relationship!shoto gets SO emotional every time you get him a gift, to the point of crying.
he always insists on buying you things and giving you the most thoughtful gifts, but the first time you got him a gift, he was in such disbelief that his breathing was shaky as he carefully peeled open the wrapper of the star-shaped keychain you got him. a small keepsake of you that he can bring anywhere with him, especially when he’s away on a mission, you’d said.
the second time, he still has the same reaction, if not even more. this time you got him flowers and dessert from his favourite patisserie as appreciation gifts. he really was the best boyfriend, after all. he ate the pastry through tears, only after hugging you so tightly and giving you the sweetest kiss.
on the third time, surely, you thought, that maybe he’d have gotten a little used to receiving gifts from you. but no, his reaction was more or less the same. he even insisted that you shouldn’t feel obligated to give him gifts. you comfort him, wiping away his tears, saying that you want to give him gifts and spoil him as much as he’s spoiling you.
it happens again, and again, and again. he can’t help it, just loves you that much. everything you give him touches his heart so deeply and moves him. partly because of the gentleness and tenderness and thoughtfulness of the gifts—so wildly different from his childhood. there’s an overwhelming happiness in him that he gets to enjoy a love so warm and fond with you.
happy belated shoto day !!
