Thinking about the crazy love triangle situation in Blue Eye Samurai and debating heavily with myself on how I'd like to see it conclude. And yeah this discussion can be thought of purely as shipping, headcanons, and fandom fun. But when analysing the show and engaging with it in a more in-depth, almost-literary level, it's impossible to dismiss who Mizu's potential love interests are and how different endgame romances would affect her character arc and the overall story and themes.

So in this post I'd like to look at the love triangle a bit more closely, and speculate on where the story will take this.

DISCLAIMER: It is my personal interpretation of the text that Mizu is non-binary—I use this as an umbrella term denoting any gender that does not adhere to the binary restrictions, norms, and expectations of what it means to be either a man or woman in a particular society; it's not just an androgynous "third gender" that exclusively uses they/them pronouns. Thus, while I personally believe Mizu is not strictly a cis woman, she does still identify with womanhood, despite definitely feeling a level of detachment from it due to living as a man for so long. With that being said, I will be using she/her pronouns for Mizu in this post, but please note that this is purely personal preference. Everyone is free to interpret the text the way they like. That's the fun of fiction. Now, without further ado, let's proceed.

Okay so, thinking about the pairings on a purely surface level, and even before i got into the show, I was pinning my hopes on some lesbianism going on between Mizu and Akemi, and the show does hint at this; in Ep1, during their first encounter in Kyoto, there is the famous slow-mo shot of their eyes meeting, Mizu's lips slightly parted as she is unable to tear her gaze away from Akemi, while sweet string music plays in the background. This is clear romantic framing, and a marker of attraction. If Mizu was a cishet man, there would be no question that this is a potential love interest.

But then, in the same episode, we meet Taigen, who is introduced to us firstly from hearing Akemi's father describe him as "a fierce and undefeated young samurai", the "best swordsman in the best school" and "a fisherman's son from Kohama [...] whose rise reminds [him] of [his] own."

In the next scene, we meet him in person as Akemi's fiance, and he seems sweet enough. He even gives her sweets! In exchange, Akemi gives him gold, and he feels a bit ashamed that he doesn't have anything better to offer her. But Akemi accepts him and his gift wholeheartedly and flirts with him a little, which makes him smile kinda shyly.

When Akemi confirms their engagement, Taigen is in disbelief because he has no status or noble background, but Akemi reassures him.

So from these first few scenes, we're introduced to Taigen as an honourable and strong samurai, but also as a man who is sweet and gentle with the woman he is about to marry, as well as aware of his own inferiority when compared to Akemi's high station.

Our view of him then changes as his true self is revealed: he is an arrogant and smug bastard among his peers, but more importantly, he is the terrible bully from Mizu's childhood.

And it is this side of Taigen--pompous jerk and unrepentant xenophobic bully--that we continue to see as the show goes on, and it's safe to say that this is his real self, sans any pretense of humility and modesty. Around anyone who isn't an outright superior in terms of class and power (ie. Akemi's father, the shogun), Taigen never hesitates to assert his own authority and "greatness."

But as the show goes on, he gets caught by Heiji Shindo's men, and then tortured. And that's when we see, okay, turns out he's not that bad. He's honourable; "honour" is not just meaningless and superficial pedantry for him, but an internalised, guiding principle.

He was a cruel asshat throughout Mizu's childhood, but in a prejudiced and xenophobic society, he was just playing by the rules. As a child, he knew he was at the bottom of society, but when met with someone even lower ranked than him (Mizu), he can project all those prejudices and insecurities onto someone else. This way of thinking--"if you can't beat 'em, join em"--is what allowed him to climb up the ranks despite being some dirt poor kid from an abusive household*.

*Well, that combined with his cismale privilege of course, because this would not be an option for a woman in similar circumstances.

Thus, his upholding of honour also exemplifies how Taigen embodies the ideals and rules of his society. His insistence on duelling Mizu is another more blatant example of this. He doesn't want revenge like Mizu does. He wants to be accepted by society, within the bounds that society has placed, and that means that his only two options following his defeat at the Shindo dojo were to either chase Mizu down and get his damn duel, or kill himself for his humiliating defeat.

Now! Moving on from Taigen, let's go back to the other end of this little love triangle: Akemi.

Mizu and Akemi only properly meet in Ep4. During their first meeting, when Akemi tries to poison Mizu in Madame Kaji's brothel, she compliments Mizu's eyes, calling them "beautiful."

This seems to genuinely take mizu off-guard for a second before she coolly plays along. We know that Mizu recognises Akemi from the get-go, and thus sees through Akemi's ploy from a mile away. It's also safe to assume she'd expected false flattery, because Mizu understands full well that this tactic is how women get what they want: by using their 'feminine wiles' and playing up their naivety and innocence. But even so, it's interesting that Mizu actually seems surprised by Akemi's compliment.

Then, after Mizu subtly taunts Akemi by lying about Taigen's death, she and Akemi have a bit of a scuffle, and then we get to Mizu saying this:

"Women in our world don't have a single good option. Except you, like some magical forest creature. You could have anything you want, but then you beg to eat trash."

(no screenshot because it's quite a long line but you get it)

Here we see Mizu's opinions on the marginalisation of (mostly poor and under-privileged) women stated outright, and underlying her words is also resentment. Because even though she and Akemi have shared experiences of female oppression, Mizu, unlike Akemi, was also poor, from a rural village, and is a racial minority. Mizu is triply oppressed, while Akemi only faces one primary form of oppression, and to someone as embittered by the world as Mizu is, to see Akemi "beg to eat trash" is a slap in the face, practically tone-deaf to the other injustices around her--injustices which Akemi has not shown much, or any, acknowledgement for at this point.

Then, after this scene, Mizu kills Kinuyo, and this unsettles her to a degree we've never seen from her before. She is visibly distraught, and the entire sequence hammers the theme of this episode (and arguably, a large portion of the show) into our heads: women in this world suffer. And even though Mizu is well aware of this fact, to commit this act is so visceral that is shakes her to her core, and it's what ultimately leads to the ambush of the Thousand Fangs.

But before the ambush, Mizu and Akemi talk a little again, and during this time Akemi taunts Mizu some more.

Right now, Mizu is exhausted to the point where (I believe) she even downs some sake, despite not usually drinking. Thus, worn down, she cuts Akemi's ropes and tells her, "Just go." Akemi recovers from her initial fear of Mizu's blade and taunts her some more, accurately seeing through Mizu's facade of coldness, recognising the raw anger there, and says this:

"I thought you had to be something special. Your face isn't even so scary. You're just... angry."

At this, Mizu is amused and compares Akemi to Taigen ("I see why he likes you. You're just like Taigen when we were children. A fucking brat.")

The reveal that Mizu and Taigen knew each other in childhood surprises Akemi, but before either of them can say more, everything goes to shit.

That's when we get to Ep5. This episode focuses primarily on Mizu, the central piece of this love triangle, and does the most out of all the episodes to shed some light on her character and goals, fleshing her out to be more than just the vengeful, highly proficient samurai we've seen thus far (symbolised by The Ronin), but also a person who is capable of love, domesticity and gentleness (symbolised by The Bride). But in the end, Mizu rejects both these ideals, instead becoming an Onryo, who is neither guided by pride/honour, nor love.

By 'reincarnating' into an Onryo, Mizu is able to win the day and save the women in the brothel. However, as she has now fully embraced her status as an Onryo, and is exhausted physically, mentally, and emotionally, she lets the Tokunobu clansmen take Akemi away while Akemi's screams echo in her ear.

Mizu says this choice is for Akemi's own good, that Akemi's better off; because Mizu is jaded and weary, and cannot afford the luxury of idealism, and thus must always be strictly practical and realistic. So of course that's why, in her view, yes, Akemi should not be wasting her time in a brothel where women are exploited and abused, nor should Akemi be so naive to think that her marriage with Taigen is even still possible. However, regardless of Mizu's views, it is not for her to decide, because though Akemi is privileged in some sense, she is still trapped and voiceless, and deserves the right to choose her own destiny.

But as it happens, in the end, though Akemi did not choose who she gets to marry, she DOES get to choose her next move when Edo burns down.

"I want to be great."

This one line is the key to her entire arc, which is only just beginning. We see she quickly has acquired the affection and good graces of the shogun's son after their wedding night and consummation, and with Madame Kaji and the girls now serving her, Akemi will only grow to become a prominent political player.

NOW, only after analysing the characters as they are within this season, only can we speculate how their arcs will continue as the show progresses.

First and foremost, I will reassert the popular opinion that Mizu and Akemi are foils. The climax (pun intended) of Ep7 illustrates this as it parallels the turning points in both Mizu's and Akemi's arcs:

Mizu melts the steel of all her loves and shames, the people she's collected: the broken blade wielded by both Chiaki and Taigen, Akemi's knife, Ringo's bell, Master Eiji's tongs - this symbolises her beginning to accept herself, and in doing so, also accepting the help of others;

Akemi consummates her marriage with Takayoshi Itoh, gains his affection, and cements her position as a woman in the shogun's palace - this symbolises her taking charge of her situation, no longer playing the damsel, but using her position to her advantage, empowering both herself and the underprivileged women around her.

These are thus two directly contrasting, diverging journeys:

Mizu's arc moves inward (yin). It is an internal path of self-love and self-discovery, focused on finding peace and tranquility inside herself, and this involves allowing herself to let others into her life, opening herself up to friendship and empathy once more.

Akemi's arc moves outward (yang), it is an external path of growth, transforming from a naive, caged princess to a powerful woman and a force to be reckoned with.

Akemi is always dressed in red, even her eyes are a bit of a reddish-brown rather than brown-black like most other characters, and in her penultimate scene she stands against a backdrop of flames. She is fire: quick-tempered, passionate, full of energy. Red is powerful, authoritative, and in eastern cultures, it is associated with prosperity.

Mizu is blue: her eyes, her sword, her clothes. She is also named after water; it's where she goes to recover, reflect and meditate. Water is fluid like a brook weaving around a stone in its path, always changing and adapting, it is graceful, it is beautiful and ruthless, tranquil yet swift.

Thus, in the future, I expect we will see plenty of political manoeuvring and intrigue in Akemi's plotline, where she fully embraces control of her life, and begins to take action to help others as well, realising that her own oppression is just one piece in a much larger picture. Her main conflict is with society.

In direct contrast, Mizu's main conflict is with herself. She must realise that her desire for vengeance is a projection of her own deep-rooted self-hatred. Her arc must move towards unpacking her feelings and trauma so she can be at peace with herself and allow space for love in her heart. Because as we saw in Ep5, Mizu had come extremely close to achieving peace and joy, as she had not only loved Mikio, but also had briefly believed that Mikio had loved her (and accepted her for who she is) as well.

Thus, assuming the story is not planned as a tragedy, Mizu will likely end up getting her vengeance, but it will not satisfy her, because it is not what she needs. What she needs is to let go of the Onryo within her and to reconcile both The Ronin and The Bride within herself, as she is both a fighter and a lover, but not a monster.

(Edit: I recommend checking out this post by @stylographic-blue-rhapsody for a much clearer analysis about Mizu'a symbolism as Ronin, Bride and Onryo!)

And now that we've mostly covered each of the characters individually, we can finally get to the main point of this post: the love triangle.

Let's talk about Option A: Akemi.

As I covered extensively earlier, Mizu and Akemi are foils, a yin-yang pair. But while they play off each other very well in a thematic sense, I personally believe that a serious romance between them will be more complicated if they become endgame. This is because Akemi's natural resolution is to embrace a position of power and influence, where she has both freedom and control over herself and to make much-needed changes in a prejudiced society. Meanwhile, Mizu's natural resolution is the opposite; her happy ending would to find a peaceful life where she is safe and free from prying eyes, and able to be her true self.

Thus, it would make very little sense for Akemi to forfeit power and run away with Mizu and start a humble life together. Akemi wants to be great, and that is absolutely what she deserves. On the other end of the spectrum, it would also make little sense for Mizu to dedicate her life in service of Akemi, such as acting as a bodyguard or something similar, because a life in a palace full of court intrigue and conspiracies is far from what Mizu needs to be happy.

With that being said, if Mizu/Akemi is endgame, and assuming their overarching character arcs do not shift directions, their love story would likely be either tragic, doomed, or bittersweet. I do absolutely love this type of story because personally I'm a sucker for catharsis, so it would be very interesting if the writers do decide to take this route.

Also, as a note, please do not take this as me dunking on this pairing. This is just my personal opinion and analysis and I completely understand if you disagree!

Then, of course, we have Option B: Taigen.

Between Akemi and Mizu, Taigen is a bit of a free-floater here, because Season 1 leaves off at a point where his arc is very ambiguous as to where it's headed. While Akemi climbs for greatness and Mizu goes on a journey across the ocean to (presumably) discover more about her heritage, we have little clues about where Taigen is headed. And if I'm being honest, I'm sure he has no idea either! He still hasn't reclaimed his honour, so he would be unable to rejoin the Shindo Dojo; he's been rejected by Akemi; and while he showed loyalty to the shogun, the shogun is now dead, and all the shogun's men who had witnessed his "humiliating" death were left to die by Lady Itoh, who is now pulling the strings within the palace.

Therefore, Taigen has very few options here.

And when considering his role in the story is as Mizu's begrudging ally, his arc will undoubtedly be focused on unlearning his xenophobia and misogyny, the latter of which we have not seen yet, but is surely present. Now, whether he will do this in Mizu's presence or absence will be unknown until we see Season 2. Following the Season 1 finale, he might return to Kohama and wait for Mizu there as he learns humility and remorse over his past cruelty; or maybe he will follow Mizu to London, and the two of them will continue to butt heads until he finally admits to himself that he cares for Mizu more than he would like to admit. There is no room for doubt that his growing feelings for Mizu are more-than-platonic, because we all saw him get turned on by sparring with her in Ep7 lol. Thus, regardless of the exact choice he makes, I am sure that his overall arc will be focused on redeeming his character.

Now, when it comes go redeeming him, I know there are many who simply don't want him redeemed because he was such a jerk to Mizu, and while yes I agree he was awful, I do believe there is also nuance to his character.

Previously I've discussed in great detail the colour and elemental symbolism with Mizu and Akemi, but have yet to touch on how they relate to Taigen. So, let's talk about that for a second.

While Akemi is red and Mizu is blue, Taigen is green.

Green is a complementary colour to Akemi's red. Complementary colours are directly opposite each other in the colour wheel; when mixed, they neutralise each other, but when put side-by-side, they form a pleasing and impactful contrast that boosts the brightness and prominence of both colours. This mirrors Taigen and Akemi's relationship. They are an "ideal" pair because they complement each other very well, and bring out each other's most prominent traits. Mizu's comment about their similar "brattiness" comes to mind here.

Green is also an analogous colour with Mizu's blue. These colours are sitting right next to each other on the colour wheel; their natural similarity makes it easy for them to form a cohesive overall appearance, but using both in equal amounts will make a design overwhelming and too busy. Thus, the best way to use analogous colours is to make one the dominant colour, while the other will serve as an accent. I feel this also speaks to the dynamic in Taigen and Mizu's relationship. They came from the space place, both from nothing; they're both strong fighters who love the sport, and work well together when fighting side-by-side; however, they butt heads too easily, mirroring how analogous colours can be too overwhelming when used in equal amounts. Thus, to work together in harmony, one has to be the dominant colour, while the other serves as the accent. In this case, the dominant force would be Mizu, as she is the protagonist of the story, while the accent would be Taigen.

By fulfilling this role as an "accent" to Mizu, Taigen's character would easily be slotted in as a the love interest. This is in contrast with a Mizu/Akemi relationship, whereby Akemi is Mizu's foil before she is Mizu's love interest. This is because, by being a love interest, a character usually takes a backseat in the story, serving the plot and the themes by playing a purely supportive role, and this is not possible in Akemi's case because her character exists to parallel and contrast Mizu (red and blue), and not to support her.

It is possible to serve as a supporting love interest in Taigen's case however. And this is because he, unlike the other characters, does not currently have a definitive place within the story. He initially served the plot as an antagonistic force, but now as he is slowly unlearning his prejudices and becoming a better person, he can no longer serve the story by acting purely as a rival.

Instead, he will serve the story by literally supporting Mizu. And this relates to Taigen being earth, which is steady, firm and reliable, unwavering in loyalty and principles, hardworking and rooted in stability, which is seen in Taigen's staunch and inflexible obedience to the traditions and rules of society. These traits are what make him a perfect samurai, but not a good man. However, unlike most people in their world, Taigen is still capable of change and redemption, which is why Mizu says that he has the potential to be great. Not great by way of power or glory, but great in character. Already, he is honourable to a fault, and does not betray Mizu even after she technically robbed him of everything he was striving towards. And when he was shot by an arrow in the chasm, he did not hesitate a second to tell Mizu to use him as a human shield and save herself.

The trigger for his redemption is Mizu. If she had never beat him in that duel, Taigen would live on to become a man like Akemi's father. Cruel, power-hungry, controlling, conservative. But through Mizu, Taigen's sharp edges are ground down, much like water that wears down the stones in a river.

Where Mizu and Akemi's possible love story would be a clash of wills, full of passion and even heartbreak, a possible love story between Mizu and Taigen would be the wearing down of souls. Mizu would make Taigen a better person, and in turn Taigen would dedicate his full respect and support to Mizu as his equal, thus getting her to slowly open up and love herself. Already, Taigen has grown enough to admit (begrudgingly, and in his own Taigen way) that Mizu is better than him; though, clearly, he still has a long way to go, as he still calls Mizu a demon shortly after that.

But basically, Taigen is a very simple man (his main goal now is "to be happy"), and Mizu has great depths that he cannot yet fathom. For this love story to work, it has to begin with Taigen changing for the better. If he succeeds in that, and is able to accept Mizu for all her complexities, I believe that they will make a formidable pair. And though he'd likely still throw a jab or snarky remark at Mizu every now and then, I think he'd come tl wholeheartedly admire Mizu as a brilliant swordsman and a kind soul. Thus, should things work out and this be endgame, Taigen would be able to provide Mizu with what Mikio could not: an idyllic life that is not built on a lie, but mutual trust, respect, admiration, and equality.

Or hey, maybe they could both make their own dojo together! I don't know.

(Edit: This post by @rinandsketches does a great job at delving into Taigen's character and a potential Mizu/Taigen relationship if you'd like to read more about this angle!)

Now, as I move on from Taigen, there are a couple more options on how to resolve this love triangle and that includes Option C: Ringo.

In this option, Mizu does not have an endgame romance with either Akemi or Taigen. In this route, she finds peace and love through friendship, solidarity, and a found family between herself, Ringo and Master Eiji—a bunch of outcasts in society who make a strong trifecta of sword-makers.

Also, as an aside while I'm talking about Ringo, I'd like to point out that I believe his element is air and his colour is a neutral grey; he is talkative, easy-going, wise, curious, light on his feet (stealthy) and free-spirited, which are all traits linked to air, and traits that complement Mizu nicely, as he is capable of getting Mizu to open up and trust others again, while Mizu helps him reach his true potential for greatness.

And finally, there's Option D: Polyamory.

This is basically an "all of the above" option, in which everyone wins and it's a super duper happy ending. It would also be awesome to get some polyamorous representation, and seeing the dynamic between Akemi/Mizu/Taigen play out would be very entertaining and refreshing. So, you never know, this just might be the true endgame!

AAAAND with that, I close my extremely long analysis of what is essentially Mizu's love life. Whatever the final outcome of this love triangle though, I just hope it will be well-written and satisfying to all the characters' respective arcs. (Also I just want Mizu to be HAPPY goddamn it because she deserves the world and her coochie eaten out)

Now, I highly doubt anyone will read any of this (especially not until the end!) but that's fine. I just have so many thoughts and feelings about this show and I just needed to get this out of my system lol! But if by some miracle you did read this far, I wholeheartedly welcome any sharing of thoughts and ideas because man am I obsessed with this show! But of course, if we have an opposing opinions, please be respectful when letting me know; I am very open to friendly discussions.

#blue eye samurai #mizu x taigen #mizu x akemi #mizu blue eye samurai #mizu x akemi x taigen #blue eye samurai meta #also if you ask me PERSONALLY. based on my own analysis which you can read above. personally i'm placing my bets on option b (mizutaigen)#and this is simply bcs i think mizu deserves nice things and that includes getting dicked down and pampered and worshipped #whoops who said that #also mizu deserves to live a life where she can hand taigen's ass to him on a daily basis. ykwim.#BUT i am def open to a change of opinion regarding the mizuakemi rship as the story progresses #i just dont want the writers to reduce akemi into nothing but a love interest for mizu #the only way i can see a happy mizuakemi endgame scenario is if blue eye samurai becomes purely an angsty romance story #in which case then yes i fully endorse the akemi ending <3 #but that would probs require a whole genre overhaul? bcs currently the show is firstly an action-epic where the romance is just a subplot #but even tho i dont reeeeally want a mizuakemi endgame i still DEF want mizu & akemi to be romantically and/or sexually involved plsss <3 #like they cant have that slow-mo shot between the two of them as their first encounter and NOT DO ANYTHING W IT!!!#also i want mizu to be at LEAST a little sapphic plsplspls #shut up haydar #meta dissertations.pdf #haydar's fandom posts #i wrote this whole thing while delirious and covid positive

Izuku Midoriya – The Caring Hero Struggling with Unspoken Jealousy

Izuku Midoriya is often selfless and caring, always prioritizing others above himself. His jealousy is subtle, born from his deep desire to be the one who makes you feel safe and valued. When he sees you talking to another guy, even though he understands that it’s harmless, he can’t help but feel a twinge of jealousy. It’s not because he wants to control who you talk to, but because he’s afraid that someone else might be able to support you in ways he can’t.

In those moments, Izuku might become quiet and withdrawn, unable to shake the thought that he might be losing your attention or affection to someone else. He doesn’t lash out or show his jealousy openly. Instead, it manifests in small gestures—maybe he tries a little harder to be around you, offering to help more than usual, or seeking out moments to talk to you one-on-one. His jealousy isn’t destructive, but it is something he struggles with internally.

He’ll often reassure himself by thinking about how important your happiness is to him, but those feelings of inadequacy sometimes bubble up, especially when you laugh or smile at something another guy says. Izuku’s jealousy makes him push even harder to be the hero you deserve, hoping that his actions will show you how much he cares, but he may never directly admit it to you.

Katsuki Bakugo – The Fierce Rival Burning with Jealousy

Katsuki Bakugo, fiercely competitive and protective, has a prideful personality that doesn’t take well to the idea of someone else vying for your attention. When he notices you chatting with another guy, his jealousy quickly flares, burning hot like his explosions. He doesn’t hesitate to show his frustration, whether it's through a sharp remark, an angry glare, or a sudden challenge. His fiery personality makes it clear that he feels threatened, though he would never outright admit it.

Bakugo’s jealousy is aggressive, and he may try to “outdo” the guy you’re talking to, whether it’s through his strength, his skills, or his fiery attitude. He might get sarcastic, saying something like, “Don’t think you’re better than me just because you can talk to her!” His jealousy may also come out in his behavior toward you—he’ll act gruff, trying to reclaim your attention by acting tougher or more assertive.

Despite his outbursts, Bakugo does care deeply for you, and his jealousy stems from his fear of not being good enough or losing you. While he might never admit it, he just wants to be the one who’s always there for you.

Shoto Todoroki – The Quiet Storm of Insecurity

Shoto Todoroki is typically calm and collected, but underneath his composed exterior, there’s a subtle storm of jealousy that emerges when he sees you talking to another guy. He doesn’t show it outright, but there’s an internal battle raging inside him. His jealousy manifests in silence—he watches quietly, perhaps a little too long, wondering if he’s losing his place in your heart.

Shoto’s jealousy is tied to his insecurities and his desire to be someone who can support you as you deserve. While he won’t lash out or confront the guy, he may become more withdrawn, suddenly unsure of how to approach you. It’s not about mistrusting you—it’s about his fear that someone else might be able to make you smile in ways he hasn’t.

He might try to get closer to you, subtly looking for moments where he can prove he’s just as capable of making you happy, but he’ll always do so quietly, never wanting to seem needy or desperate. His jealousy eats at him in a way that’s more self-reflective than confrontational, and in the quiet moments, he’ll wonder if he’s truly good enough for you.

Hitoshi Shinso – The Quiet Struggler with Unseen Jealousy

Hitoshi Shinso often feels like he’s overlooked, and his jealousy emerges quietly when he sees you talking to another guy. Despite his intelligence and talents, Shinso often feels like he’s constantly fighting to be noticed, and when you engage with someone else, it stirs up those insecurities. Unlike Bakugo’s explosive jealousy or Shoto’s internalized struggle, Shinso’s jealousy is born from his desire for validation.

He might retreat into himself, trying not to show his feelings, but deep down, he can’t help but feel a pang of jealousy, wondering if the guy you’re talking to is somehow more charming or better suited for you than he is. He doesn’t lash out or make a scene; instead, he’ll withdraw, perhaps becoming quieter or more distant.

When you do finally pay attention to him again, he might try harder to prove his worth, seeking your approval through small acts or offering you his own kind of attention. His jealousy is about proving that he’s just as capable of making you happy, though he’ll likely keep it hidden, not wanting to seem desperate for your affection.

Shota Aizawa – The Reserved Mentor with Quiet Jealousy

Aizawa is usually reserved and pragmatic, focused on his students’ growth, but he’s not immune to feelings of jealousy—especially when it comes to someone else getting your attention. Aizawa’s jealousy is quiet and restrained, but it still stirs beneath the surface. When he sees you talking to another guy, he might feel a subtle pang of jealousy, mostly stemming from his own insecurities.

Aizawa isn’t one to express his feelings outwardly, so his jealousy doesn’t manifest in anger or confrontations. Instead, it shows in the way he watches, quietly reflecting on whether he’s been too distant or if he’s been taking you for granted. His jealousy is less about the guy you’re talking to and more about wondering if he’s been fulfilling his role as your protector or confidant.

In the rare moments when he’s alone with you, Aizawa may subtly try to reclaim your attention, offering words of support or even showing his softer side. His jealousy isn’t about competition; it’s about his deep, quiet concern that someone might be getting closer to you in a way he hasn’t been able to.

Tamaki Amajiki – Shy, Self-Conscious, and Struggling with Insecurity

Tamaki Amajiki is a character deeply marked by insecurity and self-doubt. His jealousy, unlike others who might react more outwardly, tends to manifest in a more internal, withdrawn way. His lack of self-esteem makes him prone to feeling inferior or inadequate, especially when he perceives someone else as being closer to you than he is. Tamaki is not one to express his jealousy openly, but his feelings of hurt and possessiveness are still very strong.

When he feels jealous, he doesn’t immediately lash out or make a scene. Instead, his body language becomes more closed off and tense. You might notice that Tamaki starts to withdraw from you, avoiding eye contact and shrinking into himself whenever the person he’s jealous of is near. His usually gentle and shy demeanor might become even more reserved, as if he’s trying to shrink into the background to avoid confronting his feelings.

In a situation where someone else is getting your attention, Tamaki will often find it difficult to express his discomfort. His heart will race, and he’ll feel a knot tighten in his stomach, but he won’t know how to verbalize it. He might start muttering to himself or speaking nervously, unsure of how to handle the jealousy bubbling up inside him.

If the other person’s attention on you becomes too much for Tamaki to handle, his self-consciousness will only intensify. He might start fidgeting with his hands or tapping his fingers nervously, trying to distract himself from the uncomfortable feelings. He will feel his insecurity growing, and he may even question whether he is worthy of your attention or love. “They’re so much better than me, aren’t they?” he might ask quietly, either to himself or to you, unable to stop the spiraling thoughts.

In these moments, he’s not likely to voice his jealousy outright, but his actions will betray his inner turmoil. He might distance himself emotionally or even physically, stepping back from you in a way that signals he’s hurting, but doesn’t know how to deal with it. He may also try to act distant, pretending that he’s not bothered, even though it’s clear that he is.

If you confront him directly, Tamaki will likely be flustered and avoid eye contact, his face flushed with embarrassment. “I’m not… I’m not mad or anything,” he’ll stammer, his voice wavering. But there will be a vulnerability in his eyes that’s hard to ignore. He’s not angry; he’s just scared—scared that you’ll prefer someone else, scared that he’s not enough.

If you reassure him, Tamaki will probably apologize repeatedly for feeling this way. “I don’t want to be like this… I just… I can’t help it,” he might say, feeling deeply ashamed of his jealousy. His insecurity runs deep, and he will often feel as though he’s a burden to those around him, so the idea of you paying attention to someone else only exacerbates those feelings.

In moments where the jealousy becomes too overwhelming, Tamaki might unintentionally retreat into his self-doubt. He could start avoiding interactions, giving you space out of fear that his jealousy will push you away. He might say something like, “You don’t need me around… I’m not important,” not because he wants you to leave, but because he fears losing you to someone he believes is better.

If the jealousy continues to simmer, Tamaki will likely need reassurance and gentle affection to help him regain his sense of worth. You might find him asking for your attention in a way that feels almost apologetic, like he’s not sure if he deserves it. “I don’t want to be selfish… but… could you stay with me for a while?” he might ask softly, his voice full of vulnerability.

Once his jealousy is acknowledged and addressed, Tamaki will quickly revert back to his shy and kind self, but the insecurity will always be there, lurking in the background. His jealousy stems from his deep desire to feel loved and accepted, but also from his own feelings of inadequacy. To him, being jealous means feeling like he's losing something precious—your affection and your attention—and that fear often drives his more withdrawn, uncertain behavior.

Mirio Togata – Cheerful, Confident, but Struggling with Hidden Insecurity

Mirio Togata, known for his boundless optimism and unwavering confidence, is often the last person you'd expect to experience jealousy. His carefree and upbeat nature is contagious, and he's usually the one who encourages others to believe in themselves. However, despite his positive exterior, Mirio is not immune to feeling jealousy—especially when it comes to something or someone he values deeply, like a close friendship or his relationship with you.

Unlike characters who wear their jealousy on their sleeves, Mirio tends to internalize his feelings, often masking them behind his usual bright smile. When he experiences jealousy, he doesn’t lash out or become overly possessive, but there are subtle signs that something is amiss. He might try to distract himself with humor or jokes, trying to downplay the feeling or make light of the situation to avoid showing his discomfort. “Guess I’ll just have to keep up with you, huh?” he might say in a teasing tone, even though deep down, his pride is hurt.

Mirio’s jealousy tends to arise when he feels like he’s losing something important to someone else—whether that’s your attention, affection, or praise. If he notices someone else getting closer to you, his first instinct will be to smile and act like it doesn’t bother him. But there’s a quiet undercurrent of unease that he tries to suppress, especially if that other person is someone he feels is more deserving of your time or admiration.

Internally, Mirio might think, “What if they’re better than me?” or “What if they make you happy in ways I can’t?” These thoughts don’t come easily to someone as confident as him, and that’s what makes them all the more difficult for him to process. His own insecurities rarely see the light of day, but in moments like this, they start to surface. He may feel like he has to work harder to keep your attention, and his usual easygoing demeanor might become strained.

In more intimate or private moments, when his guard is down, Mirio might express his jealousy more directly. If you’re spending time with someone else or praising them, Mirio might tease, “Don’t forget about me, okay? I might be the one who can keep up with you the best.” This playful comment, though seemingly lighthearted, can reveal the underlying insecurity that he doesn’t usually show. He might also try to show off or do something impressive to grab your attention, not because he wants to one-up others, but because he’s afraid of being overshadowed.

Despite his feelings of jealousy, Mirio would never want to make you feel guilty or obligated to choose between him and someone else. He’s too kindhearted and selfless to put that kind of pressure on you. Instead, he might suppress his emotions and try to act as though everything is fine, even if it's not. His jealousy might manifest in him being a little quieter than usual or a bit more distant. He might withdraw for a while to work through his feelings on his own, hoping that they’ll pass with time.

If you notice and confront him, Mirio might try to brush it off with a smile, saying, “I’m just being dumb, don’t mind me.” But behind that smile, he’s feeling vulnerable. He doesn’t want to admit that he’s jealous, because he sees it as a weakness. “I don’t want to seem selfish or needy. You don’t have to worry about me,” he might add, downplaying the seriousness of his feelings.

However, Mirio’s jealousy is not something that will fester for long. After a heart-to-heart or some reassurance from you, he’ll quickly return to his usual positive and upbeat self. His desire to support you and be a reliable friend will override any lingering feelings of jealousy. “You know I’ve got your back no matter what, right? I’m always here for you,” he’ll say with his signature grin, even if the feelings of jealousy haven’t completely disappeared.

In the end, Mirio’s jealousy stems from a deep love and care for you. He’s afraid of losing the bond you share with him, and he worries that someone else might be able to offer you something he can’t. But his immense respect for you and his desire to make sure you’re happy will always push him to work through those feelings. With patience and understanding, Mirio will find a way to overcome his jealousy, using it as an opportunity to grow stronger and deepen his bond with you.

Denki Kaminari – Playful, but Heartfelt

Denki’s jealousy is a bit more lighthearted, but it still comes with a genuine undercurrent of insecurity. As the more laid-back and goofy member of Class 1-A, Denki tends to brush off things with humor, but when he sees someone getting too close to you, his playful nature gives way to his vulnerability.

He’ll try to make a joke about it at first, a nervous laugh escaping his lips as he says something like, “So, what? You just leave me for the other cool guy in the room?” He’ll try to smile, but the slight tension in his body language will reveal he’s trying to hide his discomfort.

When the other person doesn't back off or seems too engaged with you, Denki’s jealousy starts to show more clearly. He might suddenly interrupt the conversation with a joke or a playful remark, like, “Hey, you forgot your electric personality here, didn’t you?” His charm can’t mask the little bit of hurt in his eyes when he sees you giving attention to someone else.

If the person still doesn’t catch on, Denki might become a bit more dramatic, sulking just enough to make you notice. “I’m like, super fun, right? We could totally hang out! You know, before you go off with Mr. Cool over there.” He’ll pout for a moment, then try to shrug it off, but he can’t hide his feelings forever.

When you give him attention, he’ll be full of energy again, but there’s still a lingering hint of insecurity. “You know I’m your real best friend, right? I can keep up with all your awesome stuff,” he’ll say, trying to mask his feelings with a grin, but there’s a slight tenderness to his tone as he leans in for a side hug, clearly wanting to make sure that you’re his, even if he jokes about it.

Fumikage Tokoyami – Quietly Intense and Protective

Tokoyami is typically a stoic character, but underneath that calm, collected exterior, his feelings run deep. His jealousy isn’t loud or obvious—it’s more like the shadows he’s so attuned to, quiet but ever-present. He’ll keep his distance at first, silently observing as you laugh or chat with someone else, the weight of his jealousy creeping in as he watches you interact with them.

Tokoyami isn’t one to be overly dramatic, but he can become noticeably withdrawn. He’ll avert his gaze, choosing instead to focus on something else, though his sharp eyes are still keenly aware of the situation. You’ll notice his posture change, his usual stance becoming more rigid, his hands tense at his sides.

If the person doesn’t back off or doesn’t get the hint, Tokoyami will quietly intervene, perhaps by stepping between you and the other person without a word, his movements subtle but intentional. It’s not so much a direct confrontation as it is a shift in the atmosphere. The air grows heavier, and the other person will likely feel the change, sensing that Tokoyami doesn’t approve.

Once alone with you, Tokoyami’s protective instincts will come out more, though he won’t admit his jealousy outright. “I do not like when others get too close,” he might say in his low, calm voice, his eyes scanning yours for any sign of understanding. His words are careful, controlled, yet there’s a quiet, earnest truth behind them.

“I’m not fond of competition, you know,” he’ll add, a slight smirk tugging at his lips, though it’s not his usual grin. It’s a bit darker, more sincere.

If you offer reassurance, Tokoyami will soften, his stoic nature not quite able to fully hide his affection for you. He’ll take your words to heart, his pride keeping him from showing how much he values you, but there’s a faint glimmer of relief in his eyes.

Hanta Sero – Sarcastically Sweet and Subtly Possessive

Sero has a laid-back, easygoing personality, often the one cracking jokes and keeping things light. But when jealousy strikes, his usual relaxed vibe can slip, replaced by a more sarcastic, possessive edge. He’ll try to cover up his discomfort by making light of the situation, but it’s clear he doesn’t like seeing you give attention to someone else.

At first, Sero will throw in a teasing remark, like, “Oh, look at that. I guess I’m just not cool enough for you anymore, huh?” He’ll say it with a grin, but there’s an obvious bite to his words as he crosses his arms, watching the situation unfold with narrowed eyes. His jealousy isn’t explosive, but it’s definitely there, and it lingers like a low hum in the background.

If the person doesn’t take the hint or doesn’t seem to back off, Sero might get more direct, though still in a playful, slightly sarcastic manner. “Well, if I’m not enough for you, I guess I’ll just… go find someone who actually appreciates me,” he’ll say, though he’s clearly not going anywhere. His eyes are locked on you, a mix of irritation and longing. He’s not looking for someone else—he’s just making sure you know that he’s hurt.

Sero is rarely confrontational, so if the person still doesn’t pick up on his signals, he’ll probably just take matters into his own hands. He might casually put his arm around your shoulders or pull you close, making sure everyone knows that you’re already taken. “You’ve got everything you need right here, right?” he’ll ask, his voice light but with an undeniable possessiveness that he tries to mask with humor.

Later, when it’s just the two of you, Sero might seem unusually quiet. He’ll give you a cheeky grin and say something like, “Not gonna let anyone else steal you away from me, am I?” But if you catch him off guard, his true feelings will shine through. There’s a moment of vulnerability, and you might notice how much he values your attention, despite the playful banter.

“You’re mine,” he’ll say with a wink, but it’s softer than usual, showing how deeply he feels about you, even though he hides it behind humor.

Tomura Shigaraki – A Jealous Tyrant

Shigaraki doesn’t do "jealous" in the typical sense—he’s too ruthless, too controlling for that. But there’s one thing he can’t tolerate: someone else getting too close to you.

When it happens, there’s a dangerous shift in the air. The usual chaos around him seems to fade as his eyes lock onto the offending person. His fingers twitch, almost as though they’re itching for destruction.

When he notices you laughing or chatting with someone else, a dark sneer creeps across his face. “Don’t get too friendly,” he mutters to himself.

Shigaraki doesn’t intervene immediately—he enjoys watching the guy squirm, sensing the discomfort in the atmosphere that he’s creating. But when the person gets just a bit too bold, Shigaraki’s voice will break through with an icy, almost menacing tone: “You’ve had your fun. Now step off.”

He’ll slowly approach, a dangerous air around him, his fingers curling as if he’s imagining disintegrating them with a simple gesture. The other person, sensing the shift, will back away, unable to ignore the growing dread of Shigaraki’s presence.

Once alone with you, his demeanor shifts. He doesn’t ask for reassurances or beg for affection like the others. Instead, he’ll just stare at you, his eyes hard and calculating. “Don’t ever forget who you belong to,” he’ll mutter, not looking for an answer. Just a simple reminder.

If you’re the one to comfort him, however, Shigaraki’s face might soften for a brief moment—just enough for you to see the raw vulnerability beneath his villainous mask.

Dabi – Cold, Sarcastic Possession

Dabi’s jealousy is laced with sarcasm, anger, and a streak of possessiveness that he tries to keep hidden behind layers of cynicism. He doesn’t care—he doesn’t need to care—but when he sees someone else eyeing you, something about it grates on his nerves.

He’ll pretend not to care, leaning back and watching the situation unfold with a smirk on his face, but his eyes will betray him. Every flirtatious gesture or laugh you share with another person will make his smirk falter slightly, his cold blue eyes narrowing just enough to be noticeable.

If things escalate, you’ll catch him making a passive-aggressive remark, like, “I didn’t know you were so into annoying people,” or, “You sure you’re not just using me as a distraction?” His voice will be dripping with sarcasm, though the words are tinged with a sharp undercurrent of irritation.

When the guy doesn’t back off immediately, Dabi will growl, a flame flickering at his fingertips as he takes a slow step toward you. The temperature in the room rises, and the conversation quickly dies down.

"Back off," Dabi warns, his voice low and rough, his hands flicking open to release a burst of blue fire that just barely misses the person’s feet. They’ll stammer out an apology and leave in a hurry.

Later, when you’re alone with him, Dabi won’t directly address his jealousy. Instead, he’ll wrap his arm around your shoulders and pull you in close, mumbling, “Don’t need anyone else to keep you company, got me.”

His possessiveness is wrapped in a cloak of indifference, but his actions are clear: you’re his, and no one else gets to encroach on that territory.

Toga Himiko – Wildly Intense and Over-the-Top

Toga’s jealousy is explosive, and she doesn’t hide it in the least. She can go from adorably sweet to downright terrifying in a matter of seconds when she feels like someone’s getting too close to you.

Her jealousy is deeply tied to her obsessive nature—Toga doesn’t just like you; she wants everything about you. When she sees someone else flirting with you or making you laugh, she gets antsy, pacing around and clenching her fists. She’ll try to mask it with a bright, manic smile, but it’s obvious to anyone who knows her that her patience is wearing thin.

“Why is everyone always so interested in you?” she’ll huff, watching from the sidelines, her voice filled with faux cheer as she watches the situation unfold.

If the person doesn’t take the hint, Toga will casually stroll over, her movements erratic but playful. She’ll flash a bright, almost sickeningly sweet smile at them before jumping into the conversation, wrapping her arms around you from behind and practically smothering you with affection.

“Hey, babe, guess what? I found something super cool today!” she’ll exclaim, nuzzling her face into your neck in a possessive manner.

If the person still doesn’t back off, Toga’s demeanor shifts immediately. She’ll growl low in her throat, her playful exterior vanishing as she steps forward with a dangerous look in her eyes. “You’re mine,” she’ll say, almost in a whisper, her grip on you tightening. The person won’t need any more encouragement to retreat.

Later, when it’s just the two of you, Toga will seem strangely calm, but there’s a feral edge to her voice. “No one else is allowed to have you, Y/N. You’re mine, forever. Got it?” she’ll ask, her eyes wild, though there’s a tenderness in the way she pulls you close.

Twice – Self-Doubt and Dramatic Overreaction

Twice’s jealousy is a chaotic mess of emotions, partly because of his overwhelming self-doubt and partly because of his deep attachment to you. When someone else makes a move on you or gets too close, his reaction isn’t subtle in the slightest.

First, he’ll freeze, his mind racing. What if they like you more than I do? What if they can give you something I can’t? He’ll try to shake off these thoughts, but his body language gives him away. His eyes widen in panic, his hand gripping his mask as if that could shield him from the feeling of insecurity creeping in.

“Why are you talking to them? What’s so great about them?” he’ll blurt out, his voice high-pitched, almost a whine, as he steps in front of you, blocking the person’s view.

If the person doesn’t immediately back off, Twice will become more dramatic. He’ll practically throw himself in front of you, saying, “I’m way more fun! Come on, let’s go, I’ll show you!” His usual bubbly personality comes out, but the cracks are visible as he’s clearly trying to hide his anxiety.

Once the person leaves, Twice will start apologizing profusely. “I didn’t mean to be like that! I just… I just love you so much! I don’t want anyone else to take you away!” His eyes will be wide, filled with worry as he tries to cover up his emotional outburst.

“You’re mine, right? You won’t leave me, right?” he’ll ask quietly, his voice small and fragile, as he clings to you, needing reassurance.

Despite his chaotic response, his love for you is sincere, and in his own way, he just wants to feel like he’s enough.

Mr. Compress – Cool, Calculated, and Still Possessive

Mr. Compress is normally a smooth talker, calm and collected. But when someone else starts paying a little too much attention to you, his composure starts to slip, just a little.

His jealousy is subtle, a controlled burn that grows over time. He’ll maintain his charm, but there’s a glint in his eyes when he sees someone else laughing with you or standing too close. A brief flick of his hand, a flicker of irritation in his eyes.

He might step in casually, as if it’s no big deal, and say, “Well, well, seems like you two are getting along pretty well,” with a sly smile that doesn’t reach his eyes. He might make a playful comment, but it’s obvious he’s subtly marking his territory.

If the person doesn’t take the hint, he’ll take a more direct approach. Mr. Compress will make a swift move, pulling you into his side with an easy, practiced motion, his arm wrapping around you possessively. “You’re with me, darling,” he’ll say smoothly, his voice rich with authority.

Later, in private, Mr. Compress will keep up the cool exterior, but the subtle tension in his gaze will tell you he’s still processing. “You wouldn’t leave me for some foolish, naive fool, would you?” he’ll ask softly, a vulnerable edge in his voice, the only time you’ll see his cool façade crack.

Kai Chisaki (Overhaul) – Cold, Calculating, and Controlling

Kai Chisaki is a deeply calculating and meticulous character. He doesn’t deal with jealousy in the same way as the more emotionally expressive characters like Denki or Sero. His jealousy is a reflection of his obsessive need for control and his possessive nature over the things (and people) he values. For Chisaki, jealousy doesn’t manifest in dramatic outbursts—it’s a quiet, simmering resentment that builds over time.

At first, Chisaki would keep his feelings of jealousy hidden. He might observe from the sidelines, his sharp eyes watching every interaction between you and the other person with a cold, impassive expression. His mind, always working, would start calculating the ways in which the situation threatens his control over you. He would find your attention toward someone else as a sign of his failing influence, which would unsettle him greatly.

You might notice a subtle shift in his behavior. He won’t snap at the other person right away, but there will be a coldness in his demeanor whenever they are around. His gaze will harden, his voice might take on an edge when he speaks, and his usual calm, authoritative tone will carry a quiet, chilling tension.

If the other person gets too close to you, Chisaki will likely intervene in a subtle but forceful way. His sense of control doesn’t allow him to simply let things slide. He might make a remark to the other person, a sharp, pointed comment designed to drive them away. “You seem to misunderstand your place,” he might say coldly, his voice like ice as he makes his position known.

He’ll approach you with the same controlled manner he always has, but now there’s an extra weight to his words. “I don’t like seeing you with others,” he’ll say, his voice low and steady, though there’s an unmistakable possessiveness in his tone. His hand might rest on your shoulder or arm, a silent but firm way of claiming you, as if to say, you belong to me—and he’s not going to let anyone forget that.

If you try to shrug him off or ignore his behavior, Chisaki’s jealousy becomes more palpable, though he will never lose his composure. His frustration will be masked behind his stoic, almost emotionless expression, but his actions will become more controlling. He might give you less freedom or impose more of his will, showing his growing need to have you solely under his influence.

“I don’t like sharing what’s mine,” he’ll say with an unsettling calmness, a rare glimpse into his possessive nature. He may even try to isolate you from others, not because he can’t trust you, but because he can’t trust anyone else to have a place in your life.

When you’re alone together, Chisaki will be more direct, though still reserved. His voice will be low and calm, but there’s an intensity in his eyes that can’t be ignored. “You are mine, and I will not let anyone take you from me,” he’ll say, his words carrying a sense of finality. There’s no room for negotiation in his mind—his jealousy is tied to his obsessive need to keep you under his control.

Chisaki’s jealousy doesn’t erupt into fits of rage, nor does he show insecurity in the traditional sense. Instead, it’s a cold, calculated response that stems from his obsessive nature and his fear of losing control. If anyone dares to threaten his position, he will ensure that they learn their place—whether it’s through words, actions, or manipulation.

If you reassure him, it might ease his jealousy for the moment, but he will always be on guard, silently keeping track of everyone around you. “You’re mine. Don’t forget that,” he’ll say with an air of finality, his cold, calculating eyes locking onto yours, ensuring you understand the weight of his words.

WHEN THEIR PARTNER LOVES TO DANCE

Fandom: My hero academia Featuring: shigaraki, hawks, dabi, overhaul x fem reader

SHIGARAKI

He knows you love to dance ever since he met you, but, as you may imagine, that's not really his field of expertise. When you go to events where dancing is common, you usually stay sat. You do it because you want to, and you don't wish to leave him alone, still, he feels bad about it.

A week ago, he asked you to teach him. He said he'd like to dance at least a bit with you when necessary, which obviously had you jumping with joy.

That's what led you here. A week later, on your living room, attempting to learn the basics. This had been the funniest experience for the both of you, at this point you didn't even care if he learned or not, the dancing lessons where enough of a reward.

You laughed loud as he stumped on your foot for the third time, and he pretended to be angry. "Stop!" You yelled while pushing him away from you, however, his feet got caught with the rug and he fell over you. Both of your bodies hit the floor shortly after and minutes went by before you could stop laughing. "I'm done, I don't want to do this anymore." He said, now annoyed, but you could tell he was just embarrassed. "Does that mean you don't like practicing with me?" You asked, making the saddest face you could. He couldn't resist it. "I do! I like it, It's just that I'm really bad at this and-" You cut his desperate babbling off with a kiss. Needless to say, the dancing sessions went on for longer.

HAWKS

Oh Hawks loves dancing as well, and he's fairly decent at it, too. He actually first met you at a party to commemorate heroes. You were there because of a friend and he was one of the stars of the event.

He was talking to a couple of his friends when all of a sudden, he stopped listening to everything they were saying when the most beautiful person he'd ever seen crossed his eyes. You were dancing with your friend and you looked absolutely gorgeous, he couldn't remember the last time he had been so attracted to someone, but here you were.

He had to approach you, and he did. He introduced himself (which wasn't needed) "I saw you from afar, and I would regret it for the rest of my life if I didn't ask you to dance at least one song with me." He said this as he offered you his hand, however, you looked back at your friend who hadn't come here with anyone else. "Thank you, but I'm good here," you responded with a kind smile, but before the hero could say anything else, your friend kicked you subtly, but hard. "Ouch!" You exclaimed as you turned to her, her face begging you to go with him. "Fine, one song won't make any harm." You told the hero. His face lightened with pure joy, and you definitely did not dance just one song. If he wasn't in love with you before, he totally was by the time the party was over.

Taking this precedent into account, dancing with you brings him great memories, so he loves it as much as you do.

DABI

He's not a dancer. It's not that he's terrible at it, he can surprisingly fend for himself on that field, though he isn't great either. The thing here is that he feels a bit ridiculous when he dances, at least not in public. Unless he's having a big melodramatic moment.

In private, however... He's the kind of man who whines about everything, but he's never ever complained when you approach him to dance in the comfort of your home. He actually likes it that way, he loves having you in his arms, and he enjoys doing anything that you love. Even if he pretends he doesn't.

And he loves to pretend that he's annoyed when you dance, as you do it quite often. Just like now. Dancing all over the kitchen with a bowl full of pancakes batter on your hands. "You'll drop that." He says as he rolls his eyes at you. "Of course not! I know what I'm doing!" You respond with a big smile on your face. "Come on, don't be such a killjoy, you should join me." He looks at you like you just said the dumbest thing ever, which only encourages you to put the bowl down and force your boyfriend to dance with you. He shows resistance at first, but you win him over quite quickly. The frown he had at first, now replaced by a subtle smile. It's just so hard to say no to you.

OVERHAUL

I mean... Define dancer. He isn't great at a club, but he sure is a good dancing partner at a wedding. Slow dancing is more his thing.

He doesn't love it, but he doesn't hate it either. He feels indifferent towards dancing overall, but he does not feel indifferent towards you at all. He'll comply with whatever makes you happy.

Kai had a very busy week. Your birthday was coming and he really wanted to throw you a nice party for your closest friends to attend, the thing is, he struggles a bit to keep it simple, so what was meant to be a tiny reunion, turned into a somewhat big event. He just felt like you deserve everything he can give you.

It had been a lot of work, but he was more than happy to do it. Especially now that he had you in his arms, with a beautiful dress, and the dancing floor under your feet. "Thank you so much, Kai." You say to him before laying a kiss on his lips. "Happy birthday, love. Anything for you." He responds, as he pulls away and places a strand of hair behind your ear. He would've never imagined himself doing this for anyone else, he thinks as he turns you around. He must really love you, right?

YANDERE OVERHAUL HEADCANONS

He'd be attracted to people who don't have that 'sick disease' also known as a quirk. He'd want someone who's pure and clean and the minute he sees you and your quirkless form, he thinks you're an innocent naive helpless little darling that he NEEDS to protect since the pro heroes suck at doing their job

The idea of him keeping you locked away and isolating you from the rest of the world so you can rely ONLY on him for everything is really tempting and appealing to him (Sadistic prick)

If you had a really strong and useful quirk, he'd still be attracted to you though. Just, he'll make sure to get rid of it and rob you of it by stealing it so he won't have to see you 'suffer'. And THEN, he might lock you up and leave you in isolation

If you're someone he decided to protect from everyone else, oh man... I PRAY for ya. He'll try befriending you and worming his way into you life and pretty soon, he'll ask you to come live with him. You agree but when you start rebelling against him, you'll be restricted from using your favorite things and lose your freedom

He thinks that he'd doing everything for the sake of your 'best interests' and to be honest, he knows more about you than anyone, even YOURSELF, considering the amount of time he spent stalking you and asking his men to keep an eye on you. He's like a doctor, but a really creepy and short tempered one. He'll give you regular checkups so expect constant fussing by him over you since he thinks proper health, nutrition and hygiene are a TOP priority

If you're behaving well, you'll get all sorts of things you want but you'll have to EARN them by gaining his trust and behave good around him since there's only so much fun one can have when they sit and stare at a wall for 24 hours everyday

The WORST thing this sicko might do is try convincing you in his sick and twisted way that he's NOT treating you bad. And after a while, you'll fall into his trap and web of lies and you'll start believing him and start feeling guilty if you misbehave around him. Damn does this dude know how to pull out an UNO Manipulation card

Punishments are simple if you try escaping or behaving badly. If you yell and scream at him and throw insults at him, he'll just ban you from using your favorite things and it'll be a really LOOONNGGG time after you get them back. You won't be getting them back till you apologize and admit that you were in the wrong. If you manage to hit him or kick him, you'll be denied of his attention for a while even after you cry out an apology

He isn't going to punish you physically but his punishments can take a really HUGE toll on your mental health and state of mind and so.... like I said, for the sake of your sanity just don't argue with Bird Face and agree to everything he says

If you manage to attack him with a weapon (One, HOW TF did you manage to do THAT!? And 2, that's actually way cool Hehehe.... okay, I sound like an evil twin of Sangwoo,imma stop nowTvT) , you'll be isolated in a room with white walls and he'll only come by to give you your meals and THAT'S IT. No screen time, no favorite things, nothing. He'll isolate you till you're practically BEGGING him for forgiveness

This dude ain't a Romeo so don't expect him to be all lovey-dovey with you. But occasionally when he feels like it, he might hold you and hug you from time to time and say how glad he is to have found you, his little pure angel to care for and protect. Who KNOWS what would have happened to you by now if you didn't come under his care?

He'll let you roam around the backyard ONLY (Not without you having at least a dozen of heavily armed bodyguards keeping a close eye on you) and if you still complain, he's gonna make sure you're grateful for letting you at least step out of the house

He'll let you look after Eri and Eri just ADORES you. She sees you as a parental figure and I won't be surprised if she develops platonic yandere tendencies and feelings towards you. She'll be sad and pouting when you won't focus your attention and honestly, WHO can resist her CUTE adorable little face? I sure as heck can't....

So... Mr Bird Mask is really SCARY yandere who can haunt you in your dreams and become your WORST nightmare unless you abide by his rules and laws. And THAT children, is today's moral of the story UvU

"Angel.... I'm doing this for YOU now it's time for your daily checkup. Don't be a brat, I only want what's best for you~"

(Of course I haven't forgotten about my favorite man. It's just that life has been odd lately and surely writing has been hiding away in the innermost corners of my head I prepare to go back to school etc. Anyway, let's have a late birthday celebration for my one and only)

~Birthday~

headcanon|scenario|imagine|match-up|drabble

"Isn't there anyone in here that can soothe my aching heart??!" He sighs and smiles slightly when the sound of your voice echoes down the dark and dampened chambers of the Hassaikai lower base. He already know what's coming next so there's no point in arguining or putting you off (not that he truly wanted to anyway). Chisaki silently closed his notebook and laptop, slides his papers to the outermost corner of the desk, and waits patiently. Surely enough, here you come into the room bringing your loudest celebratory exclamations along with you. Quietly Hari comes in shortly behind, holding an arm full of bags and boxes. Chisaki looks at your arms and noticed the cold plastic container housing a small pink cake with strawberries adorning the top of it.

"Angel-" He begins to protest but you quickly shush him. "Kai I held up my end of the bargain and let you work most of the morning away but now it's lunch time and I'm ready to help you celebrate this special day!" You excitedly speak before placing the cake onto the desk's empty spot. Hari chuckled and placed the packages on the couches of the office. "Sorry boss man. I tried to distract her/him/them a little while longer while we were at the stores but it just didn't work out that way. Better luck next year though, eh?" Chisaki rolled his eyes at the man and quickly turned his attention back to you. His smile now dampening into a small frown. "There really isna't anything as special about me as you think. Since the day I was born, I've brought nothing meaningful to this life and those around me. Even my goals haven't been met just yet. I haven't repayed the old man and I haven't been a great partner to you lately either. I don't know why you insist on always treating me and this day like it's one of the most important there is or ever will be. Angel I'm not-"

Once again you find yourself silencing him, this time with a tug on his mask and a kiss to his soft lips. Hari smirks and turns around. "Just what the hell kind of celebration are you throwing anyway, Y/N? Should I be giving you two a little space instead?" He teases you. You pull away from the kiss and scoff. "Aren't you supposed to be getting the next room ready? The others will be wrapping up their tasks soon and I don't have anymore patience left Chrono. I want cake N O W." You tell him with a smile. He shrugs and laughs while walking away.

"Yeah yeah, I'm on it boss."

Once he's out of the room, you turn your attention back to Chisaki. "You're not a waste of time nor space Chisaki and I wish you'd stop saying those things about yourself every year. You mean a lot to me and even more so to Pops and the organiation as a whole. You heard him say it himself yesterday remember? About how proud he was that you were starting to do things honnorably now?"

"Was that before or after he began to ask us about grandkids? If you haven't noticed, the old man is going senile these days." Kai scoffed and you laughed. "Aside from that, you're doing a great job Kai and I'm so proud of you too. All I want this year is for you to have a good brithday and to actually celebrate and be happy. Is there anywhere you want to go today to take your mind off things?" You barely finished your sentence when he'd pulled you onto his lap in a sitting position. You scanned his face for anything hinting at the 'less than appropriate' but there was nothing there...yet. In place of the usual bored expression, he instead looked at you with loving eyes. A familair warmth crept back into your chest, settling into it's usual spot and making you feel like you were the only two people in the room or maybe even on the PLANET at this moment.

"I just want to be with you."

"Consider your wish granted birthday boy. Now less chatter and more cake. It's an ice cream cake and I'd hate to risk it melting." You stood from his lap and grabbed his hand. He nodded with a soft smile, covering his face back up with his usual black mask. "Or risk Rappa having eaten half the damn thing up like last year." You chuckle and nod in aggrement. "Wouldn't be the first time and certainly won't be the last!"

Hygiene- Yan!overhaul x F!reader

Idea from: @after-witch pls go read their stuffs because its so good and i literally love their writing lol

(this is kind of a tickle fic, i know some people are into it lol, its probably gonna be my only ever tickle fic cuz i find it embarrassing to write about)

TW: Literally so mean tickles, kidnapped reader, he is not nice/playful, mention of previous punishments, kind of fluff??

reader is only mentioned to be female once

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Murder, One could believe that you were getting murdered.

Instead, you were crying and whimpering because overhaul had decided that if you werent going to brush your teeth like he told you to, that he was going to do it

You were trying to keep your mouth closed as tight as possible, but with the way his fingers were tracing your ribs it was getting increasingly harder not to laugh. His other hand held your toothbrush, ready to shove it into your mouth at the slightest opening

So you continued to keep your mouth closed, even as he fondled and dug into every tickle spot he could find on your body. It wasnt playful or nice tickling in any way shape or form, it was ruthless and mean tickling that made your body shake from the unfamiliar sensation that plagued your upperbody as he wormed his fingers into every spot he could get to

He kept picking on a very specific spot, his brows furrowed as your resolve melted into a weak flurry of protest. You couldnt take another second of the despicable treatment, he knew you couldnt, thats why he suddenly went at all your worst spots in a speed that your brain could barely process. Your lips shot open, laughing for a moment before he stopped and shoved the toothbrush in your mouth "Thank you" he said in a monotone voice

You tightened your lips, but he quirked an eyebrow, his other hand drifting back down to your ribs, You loosened your lips once more at the threat of more even more of the cruel process

"Good girl" he gave slight praise as he propped you up to get a better reach into your mouth, not giving you any relief or rest time from the strange punishment. He scrubbed and cleansed your seemingly dirty mouth "Please do not put up such a hassle next time, i did not even use my nails" you huffed at him, he pulled the toothbrush out and rinsed it in the sink before returning it to its rightful position

"i must say, you are very weak to that treatment. That may be something i must remember for future situations" you groan and stand up "That was a cheap move" he stands next to you "How so?" he seems ever curious of your answer

"its..its..weird! and i cant control how ticklish i am" he nods and gives you a strange look "yes, that is why its effective dear" he watches you mutter curses under your breath as he prepares to leave the small room, washing his hands.

He hated touching others, but he could make an exception

Just this once

CHISAKI KAI X READER {"TELL ME, FILTH, DO YOU FEAR ME?" or: "THESE ARE THE EYES OF A KILLER."}

A/n: me going crazzyyyy. This is basically sort of a series, ig. I was dying to write and this is what my last remaining brain cell came up with 🙂.

Warnings: Overhaul is basically a major red flag in himself, ooc Chisaki, and vague implications of abuse. U basically have to squint to find them, tho. Sort of dark content??

HIS eyes are gold.

They're an unnatural shade- glittering bright and pale underneath the flicker of fluorescent lights glaring above you, and there's small flecks of honey in them like the very essence of the sun, molten pools of liquid gold staring into your own eyes with thinly veiled cunning and the rim of sheer, unadulterated power that you feel radiating from his very presence- like a buzz of static in the back of your mind that you simply can't ignore.

But despite the warm color of the sun in his eyes, you know this man is nothing but warm. If anything, you know he's more cold than anyone you've ever met.

His gaze is sharp and knife-edged, and it feels like he's peering into your very soul, weighing your worth, and something cold touches your core, skitters your skin with chills as you begin to comprehend that this man has eyes like no other you've seen.

(His eyes are more colder, more fiercer, more hungrier. Always desperate, always wanting. Selfish.)

His eyes are gold, and they're the eyes of a predator. Always calculating, assessing, planning. Always dangerous. There's a blade's edge to the way he looks at you- like you're nothing but filth beneath him, a simple insect he could crush underneath the heel of his shoe if he chose to do so, but you get the uncanny feeling that in this filth he finds a particular, morbid interest, and it sends a shudder crawling down your rigid spine.

His golden gaze is narrowed on you, locked and scrutinizing your every movement and motion, trailing hotly over your trembling, petite frame, and it’s honed sharp by the ripple of dark hostility trickling into the warm atmosphere, corrupting it with the trail of darkness that follows him in its wake, and there's a sheet of ice misting his bright, bright eyes over.

Discomfort coils around your spine as you squirm and fidget uneasily underneath the heavy weight of his steady, unsettling stare, and you can taste the sting of bile erupting at the back of your throat, feel the collecting of dread pool in the pit of your stomach, because you can instantly recognize these sort of eyes.

There's a kind of insatiable hunger lurking beneath those sun-soaked depths- the sort of hunger and rage and hatred that's never quelled, no matter what they devour and destroy and take and take and take until there's nothing left.

(These are the eyes of a killer.)

You don't need your usual hunch to tell you that this is someone not to be trifled with- you feel it in the air, taste the weight of its bitterness on your tongue, feel it in the way the atmosphere around you is terse and strained by his very presence, and there's an aura of gloom clouding your senses- a storm of tension rolling in thickly through the pregnant silence, a flood of killing intent oozing tangibly off of this tall, intimidating stranger.

It suffocates you, stifles you to the point where you can't even breathe, throat suddenly dry and your tongue a heavy, iron weight resting inside your limp, unmoving mouth.

You're painfully aware of the way your pulse hiccups and gallops underneath the pressure, the way your breath stutters and hitches in your throat, lungs straining and burning and feeling as though they're being doused in liquid fire, ribs constricting tightly around your pounding heart.

But despite all that, despite the roll of gooseflesh peppering all over your flesh, you struggle to maintain professionalism the best you can, even though your breath's coming out a little too quick for your liking, as sweat beads on your temple. After all, he is your customer, and you must serve him as the best you can, no matter how intimidating he is.

(You still eye him warily.)

You swallow thickly, stifling the impulse to squeeze your eyes shut and curl in on yourself for comfort- wait for the storms to pass like you've done in the past, powerless and hopeless against forces beyond your control. But you're no longer that person now- that child, that victim, and because there's nobody here to offer you any semblance of protection, you must learn to fend for yourself. It's always supposed to have been that way, and probably always will be.

(Swallowing down the bitterness that comes with this harsh reminder, you squash down the urge to just run, run, run far away from everything and everyone.)

Taking a quick pause to regain your bearings and recover from the initial terror that’s still pulsing through your veins, you brave a bright, loud smile that hopefully doesn't speak about your nervousness and anxiety, and check his things out- two large sanitizer bottles and a pack of paper napkins- before piling them neatly into a plastic bag.

Your hands are nimble and fast at your work, but maybe that's because you're eager to be rid of this particular customer and his dark, stifling presence that stirs up too much of an inner turmoil within you- memories and thoughts and feelings you've so desperately tried to oppress.

"That'll be 267 yen. Thank you for shopping at Melissa's, sir!"

You chirp brightly, forcing your unmoving tongue to work, for your lips to form the words, trying to conceal the lump growing hard in your throat, and the tremors shaking in your hand as you hold out the convenience bag out over the counter and towards the golden-eyed man, a bubble of helpless hope and fear swelling inside of your chest, as a silent prayer lingers on your breath that he would just accept his items and leave just as quickly as he'd appeared, stealthy and shadow-like, here one moment, and gone the next.

Your heartbeat thunders in your ears, fluttering pulse roaring as your blood crystallizes through your veins, accompanied by the feeling of nauseating unease as your hands brush together with his, and even through the fabric of his gloves, you can feel the unnatural frigidness of his temperature- like his skin is unbearably cold to the curious touch, and you don't want him to stick around long enough for you to find out if it really is.

But of course, the universe decides to ignore your pleas at this exact moment, like it's always done before. And how mockingly cruel it is, too.

To your absolute and utter horror, the man leaves his gloved hand draping over yours, and this time, you can't help the shudder that sweeps down your stiff spine, and you feel panic flare up from the inside out, a dizzy spell clouding your consciousness as your heart stutters underneath your ribs, your breath growing shallow and thin.

(You especially don't like the way his hand seems tighten over yours, slender digits feeling for your flesh and grasping for purchase, and it almost seems like he's enjoying your reaction, relishing the raw fear that contorts your features, but you can't read his expression behind the gaudy mask that conceals the lower half of his face.)

Amber hues meet your petrified gaze readily, like he's not in the slightest fazed by this reaction, and the man hums thoughtfully underneath his mask, his rich, sunlight-hued eyes gleaming sharply.

"It's funny, how I normally despise touching filth like you… " He says casually in a steady, easy voice- like he's discussing the weather, and you feel the thrum of something heavy and powerful pulse through your veins, a sort of sizzling heat emanating from the confident hand imprisoning yours as his grasp on your skin coils tighter, and you can't even flinch at the coldness his touch ensues, despite the smattering of shivers you feel humming across your skin, frosting to a raw, tender place deep within you.

Horror sinks it's talons into your heart as you feel it- and you know, know deep within the marrow of your bones, that this is destruction, havoc, chaos in the purest of forms, this is his power over your frail self- buzzing and pulsing and writhing like the scuttle of insects underneath his false human skin (because you know his kind, know his kin- the type of parasite that burrows itself deep underneath the guise of human, when they're truly monsters underneath, monsters monsters monsters), sheer, undiluted power lying dormant at the very tips of his fingers, able to fully crush you to your core and leave no trace if he chooses to do so.

A heartbeat too late, you realize that feather-light touch has trailed upwards, carefully, cautiously caressing the length of your arm to the curve of your cheek as he now cups your face in the cusp of his broad palm, and you can't move- move move move please move please please please MOVE-!

Your mind is screaming, blaring with alarms of danger, but your throat has gone as dry as a desert, clamping shut, and there's not a scream nor a sob available as you try to wrestle out a gasping, shuddering breath.

The soles of your feet are rooted to the floor, and you're frozen, absolute mortification dawning on you, and here you are- a humming mess of frazzled nerves, each vein inside of your body lit up by the burn of adrenaline and instinct, but your mind blanks of all coherent thoughts, and your body feels like it belongs to someone else, refusing to move beneath the touch of this killer.

You try desperately to breathe around the knot of panic squeezing at your chest, at the anxiety-induced bunch of your insides knitting together, but you feel cold on the inside- like you've been drenched with a bucket of icy water. Shock and horror gnaws at you, holding you captive as you shudder under the soft press of his flesh against yours.

You blink back the hot tears that swarm your vision, and then, the glove is no longer there, scattered carelessly on the surface of the counter along with the gaudy, bird-shaped mask. His hand is bare and soft and warm against your cheek, and your pulse races underneath this deceptively gentle, gentle touch, utterly repulsed by the skin resting on yours.

"But oddly, when it's you, this lowly scum, I don't seem to mind as much."

He finishes delicately, slender fingers stroking your cheek almost affectionately, and amusement touches the corners of his lips when he sees you trying so hard not to fade and disintegrate underneath his palm.

Without the mask on, his face is as normal as they come and you would've passed him as any other random customer- with ivory skin and sharp cheekbones jutting deep into marble flesh, a strong jaw and an elegant nose, and thin, almost plump lips forming into a vague, wispy suggestion of a smirk. You might've even considered him handsome, had it been under normal circumstances, but the sting of his nails biting white hot divots into your cheek reminds you otherwise.

(Right now, he's the predator and you are his prey. He likes playing with his food, it seems.)

Pale eyes lazily peer down into your terrified ones, and there's goading in them- victory gleaming sharp and amber in his cat-like gaze as his ungloved thumb grazes your bottom lip, and you feel the salt of the tears pouring wet and hot down your cheeks as a sob builds up in your chest, a whimper staying locked in your throat, heavy on your tongue.

(And there it is again, that half-smile tucked away secretly in the corners of his mouth- like a rare present only meant to be glimpsed by you, lips curving a subtle, dewy pink and kissably-soft against his pale flesh.)

And then the bell rings, signaling the arrival of your new customers- your saviors, your heroes, and the mask's suddenly back on his face, and his pale, pale hand is gloved once more, no longer caressing your face like you're some delicate, enchanting, fragile thing.

(And perhaps you were, still are, underneath his hand, because in that fleeting moment, your life had been his to toy with, before he'd been stolen of that chance.)

He silently takes the bag from your still shaking, limp hands, and places crisp notes in payment before he straightens, pivoting on his heel to leave, like nothing's ever happened.

But before he completely exits the line of your blurring vision, he turns back and flashes you another sinister, promising smile- and you know he's smiling, see the way the edges of his eyes crinkles into half-moons underneath the horrid mask- before he disappears as quickly as he'd appeared, stealthy and shadow-like, here one moment, and gone the next, leaving you a shuddering, writhing mess of frazzled nerves and shaking horror and tears and shock.

There was only one thought occupying your mind after the horror of what had transpired had settled in your bones, and it was that

(those were the eyes of a killer killer killer)

You really, really needed to get a new job.

Kai Chisaki (Overhaul) x reader

OK I finally got this amazing man, to be honest although he plays a villian and a horrible person in the show I still love him and his perspective. This is a mix of headcanons and some scenes. Also thanks for reading me <33.

1. Overhaul’s Jealous Side in Public

Ohhh, this is golden. Kai would definitely have a low-key but terrifying reaction to seeing someone check you out in public. Imagine you're walking down the street, and some guy's giving you that "undressing you with their eyes" look, and Kai’s walking beside you, all calm and composed on the surface. But then, as soon as you get a little farther away from the guy, Kai’s entire mood changes, and he’s like:

"Did you not see the way they were looking at you? They were practically undressing you with their eyes. Don’t you dare wear that again unless you want to cause problems for everyone involved."

Cue his narrowed eyes and that ice-cold glare. He’s possessive, but also in this really calm way where you might just feel like you’re the most important thing in the world to him. And let's be real—him looking like that makes you feel both powerful and a little nervous, in a good way.

2. Overhaul’s Blushing Reaction to Dirty Talk

I LOVE this. Kai is not prepared for any of that type of spontaneous flirtation. He’s used to control and authority, and when you hit him with something like:

"Is that a mirror in your pocket? Because I can see myself in your pants."

He immediately goes from calculating to stumbling over his words, all flushed and definitely not prepared for the heat in your voice. His face would turn red, and he’d mutter something like:

"That ain’t very pure, angel..." while avoiding eye contact and trying to calm his breathing. He’s trying so hard to maintain his usual composure, but he can’t stop the blush creeping up on his neck and the slight stutter in his voice. The fact that you’ve caught him so off guard is just chef’s kiss.

Also the: "Do you realize what you’ve done? Get in my office now. I can’t think straight with you messing around like that." - Y/n needs a wheelchair after that little "session" T^T

Overhaul’s Protective Side (Soft, But Intense)

Kai isn’t one for showing vulnerability, but when it comes to protecting you, he absolutely will. Imagine you’re in a dangerous situation—maybe something minor, like someone accidentally bumping into you in public—and before you even have the chance to react, he’s already positioned himself between you and the source of danger, his usual cold demeanor gone, replaced by an undeniable intensity.

He’s like: "Don’t touch them." No explanation, just that cold command. He’s low-key furious, but there’s a soft care there that he’s not used to showing. Once the moment passes, he may not even acknowledge what happened, but you know. You feel that protectiveness in the air, and it’s overwhelming.

Overhaul’s Vulnerability (Rare, But Pure)

This moment is rare, but when it happens, it hits hard. Imagine a situation where you're doing something small and thoughtful for him, like tending to a wound or making him a cup of coffee after a stressful day. He’s sitting there, maybe with his usual frown, but there's a subtle shift in his gaze.

He might say something like: "You know... I didn’t think anyone could ever make me feel this way." It's not a direct “I love you,” but it’s the kind of statement that speaks volumes. His face softens just a little, and you catch a glimpse of the warmth behind his cold exterior. But then, in true Overhaul fashion, he immediately goes back to being guarded, muttering: "Tch... don’t make a big deal of it." But deep down, you know what he meant.

Overhaul’s ‘I’m Not Jealous, You’re Jealous’ Moment

As much as Overhaul likes to think he's always in control, there are moments when jealousy sneaks up on him. He tries to act like he doesn’t care, but the signs are unmistakable.

Imagine you're out with a group of people, and one of them (let’s say a new acquaintance) gets a little too friendly with you. Overhaul, who’s been quiet the entire time, suddenly gets an almost imperceptible twitch of irritation. He glares at the guy, who is completely oblivious to the tension in the air.

And then, when you and Kai are alone: "What was that, huh? You think I didn’t see the way they were looking at you? You’re mine." He’s fuming, but trying to keep it cool, like the control freak he is. His voice is dangerously low, and you can tell he’s about to pull some strings to make sure that person never crosses your path again.

Overhaul’s Secret Gift-Giving Moment

Kai doesn’t do gifts... or so he thinks. But deep down, he wants to show you how much he cares without saying it. One day, you find a small box tucked in the corner of your room, hidden in plain sight. When you open it, it's a delicate piece of jewelry, maybe a pendant or a bracelet.

It’s not overly fancy or flashy. It’s simple—but that’s the point. It’s meaningful, and it’s from him. You know, of course, that he’s never one to buy something so personal unless it means something.

When you confront him: "What? It’s not like I care about impressing you or anything." His usual tough demeanor slips for a moment, and you see him looking away, flushed under all that cold arrogance. He just doesn’t want to admit how much he means it.

Overhaul’s ‘Control’ Breaking Moment

Overhaul is obsessed with control, but there’s one thing he can’t control, and that’s you. Imagine he’s in a high-pressure situation, his usual calm and collected demeanor being tested, and you come in at just the wrong moment (or right moment, depending on your perspective).

Maybe you drop a flirty remark just as he's about to make a major decision, or you're casually teasing him, and his composure cracks. You catch him off guard, and for once, he loses control over the situation. You can tell it bothers him, but in a way, it also excites him that you can bring out this side of him.

He might say: "What do you think you're doing? Don’t distract me right now." But the fact that his voice cracks just slightly gives him away. He’s flustered and doesn’t know how to deal with the fact that you’re his biggest weakness.

Overhaul’s ‘Possessiveness’ Moment After an Argument

After a heated argument (because let’s face it, this guy has way too much pride), Overhaul might go quiet, and you might think you’ve lost him for good. But then he comes to find you after a while, looking almost sheepish. His pride has taken a hit, but he’s not going to let you slip away.

He might pull you close with a hand at your waist and just say: "Don’t think you can walk away from me that easily." His voice is soft, but there’s an undeniable edge of possession. Even though the argument is over, you feel that he's not letting go anytime soon.

Overhaul’s ‘No Words’ Confession

Overhaul isn’t always the best with words, so instead of saying how he feels, he might show it in his actions. Perhaps he’s taking care of you in a way that speaks volumes—making sure you’re comfortable, handling difficult situations for you, ensuring you’re safe.

It’s through these quiet, small acts that he lets you know: "I care about you." He doesn’t have to say it outright, but you feel it in every gesture, every subtle action. You might even catch him giving you a rare, soft smile when he thinks you're not looking. He doesn’t express his emotions easily, but when he does, it hits hard.

10.

Overhaul’s Secret Softness in Public

Even though Overhaul is always composed and intimidating, if you’re in a public space, he’ll always subtly make sure you’re okay. Whether it’s making sure you’re not too cold by adjusting your jacket or ensuring you’re safe in a crowded area, he’s silently watching over you.

It’s not obvious to anyone else, but you know. It’s the little things that speak louder than words. Kai might even take a quick glance at you when you’re not looking, just to make sure you’re still there, and then immediately look away when you meet his eyes, embarrassed that you caught him.

11.

Overhaul’s Subtle Compliments (For You, But Not in Public)

He’s never going to openly compliment you—ever—but there are little signs that show how much he thinks about you. Sometimes, he might leave a small note on your desk or a gift in your bag when you least expect it.

He’ll always try to act like he didn’t do it, but when you find it, he gets so embarrassed.

“...What are you looking at? Don’t read too much into it.”

But you know, deep down, it’s his way of showing care, and even though he acts aloof, he’s secretly smiling to himself when you find it.

Overhaul and Your Birthday

Kai is the worst at planning surprises or gifts for you, but if it’s your birthday, he’s going to attempt something. He might not be the type to throw a big party or give you a grand gift, but he will take you somewhere private (likely a quiet, upscale restaurant or somewhere that feels intimate).

He might hand you a simple, yet meaningful gift—perhaps something that represents both of you. His face might be a little flushed when he hands it to you, and it’s clear that even though he won’t say it out loud, he’s thinking about how much you mean to him.

“...Don’t make a big deal out of it.” But when you thank him, his expression softens just for a moment before he’s back to his cold, composed self.

Overhaul’s One Weakness: You

Kai’s biggest weakness is his inability to keep his cool around you sometimes. You could ask him about anything, and he’d get flustered.

Imagine him trying to keep his icy demeanor while you playfully tease him, only for him to stammer and lose his control, trying to redirect the conversation but failing miserably.

You might get a small, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Stop it.” from him as he flushes red and avoids your eyes.

Overhaul’s Reaction to You Getting Hurt

If you’re ever in danger or you get hurt in any way, Overhaul will react instantly. He may not scream or show it openly, but his eyes will harden, and there’s an intense fire in them that can only be extinguished by your safety.

Once the danger has passed, he won’t necessarily comfort you in an emotional way, but he’ll be very practical.

“You need to stay off that leg. Come with me.”

And you’ll find yourself in a medical room or tucked away in some safe corner, while Kai fusses over you in his own way, doing everything in his power to ensure you’re healed. He'll be totally silent the whole time but will take special care to treat your injury as if it’s his most important task in the world.

15.

Overhaul’s Silent Enjoyment of Your Presence

There’s something so quiet and serene about the way Overhaul enjoys your company. He doesn’t always need to speak when you’re around. He’ll just watch you. You’ll catch him staring, and instead of immediately getting uncomfortable, there’s something almost calming about it. You can feel his focus entirely on you.

Maybe you’ll catch him smirking subtly when you’re not looking, and that’s when you realize that despite everything, he’s so attuned to you that nothing can escape his gaze.

16.

Overhaul’s “Don’t You Dare” Side

When you’re being too playful with someone else, like teasing another person or talking to them in a flirtatious manner, Kai’s usual control starts to slip. It’s hard for him to admit, but he does not like it when other people get too close to you.

You might catch him glaring from across the room, his jaw tight and his hands clenched. He’ll definitely make a comment later on about how “you’d better not” flirt with someone else or tease another guy so openly, but the fact that he’s insecure in those moments is a huge deal for him. He’ll try to keep it subtle, but you can feel the possessiveness oozing from him.

“I don’t need to say it again. Just don’t... You’re mine, understand?”

17.

Overhaul’s ‘You and Me Against the World’ Moment

When Overhaul finally opens up about his plans and goals, you’re the one he trusts. No one else is allowed to know what he’s working on, but with you, he feels comfortable enough to explain what’s really going on.

But when you express concern or doubt about the path he’s chosen, you can see his frustration bubble up in the form of intense eye contact. His jaw clenches as he leans in just a little closer, as if to dare you to question him further.

“You and I are different. I’m doing this for us. Don’t question it, just trust me.”

It’s that moment where you see the true depth of his feelings for you, and despite everything, he’s trusting you to be the one person who’ll understand his vision.

Also deepest apologies if it's repetetive in some parts 0-0'
