sano ' mikey ' manjiro boyfriend headcanons. [ m. reader ]
? : this is a request from my old blog, @h6kkais . send me some new requests for this blog . ;)
β . the fact that mikey even told you how he felt would be a big deal. he fears letting people get too close to him, especially romantically. he's aware that some day, no matter how it happens, he'll lose the people dear to him. despite that, he took a gamble on his feelings for you and has never regretted it.
β . most likely, you would also be a member of toman. he wouldn't be especially protective of you during gang fights or anything of the sort. if you're his boyfriend, he knows well enough how capable you are. although, he'll find himself glancing at you more just make sure you're doing well.
β . while not overly protective, he has no issues protecting you when necessary. he understands the danger that comes with being in a gang ββ especially one as notorious as toman ββ but to also have the title of mikey's boyfriend puts you at a higher risk for rival gang attacks. manjiro would never admit to it, but he tries to go everywhere with you just in case. and when he can't be with you, he tries to make sure one of his friends is. especially if you're going somewhere outside of toman's main territory. he doesn't doubt your ability to protect yourself, but he knows how vicious rival gangs can be and all the dirty tricks they use.
β . mikey isn't especially possessive or quick to jealousy, but he does have his moments. he has to reactions to feeling jealous : excessive clingy-ness and bouts of affection or intimidating the person through harsh glares and / or subtly threatening them.
β . likes it when you play with his hair. doesn't matter if it's you running your fingers through it, brushing it, or styling it. has an especially soft spot for scalp massages. he falls asleep every time you give him one without fail.
β . almost all of the dates the two of you go on are food related. mikey really likes taking you to local diners ( especially ones that have lots of desserts ). he'll always sit on the same side of the booth as you. he likes being close to you no matter where you are.
β . expect him to take a lot of naps on you. whether it be with his head laying on your lap or completely laying his body on you, mikey sleeps the best when he's touching you. but only in private, of course. you're the only one who gets to see him in his especially soft states.
β . 'i love you' is a phrase used few & far between in your relationship. and that's okay. mikey doesn't think saying it is important because you should already know how much he loves you through his actions. he says it sometimes, usually after something really big has occurred in his life or late at night when he can't sleep.
β . he hopes that you never doubt his feelings for you or question the state of your relationship. deep down, mikey is insecure and constantly worries over that type of stuff. but he knows just how honest & whole hearted your love is for him, and that's enough.
