Nagisa Shiota Affection Hcs!

Pairing(s): Nagisa Shiota x Gn!Reader

Not prepared for when he develops a crush on you, nor is he when you confess and the two of you start going out. So when you show him affection…

Nagisa tends to blush pretty easily whenever you show him affection, whether it’s a simple compliment or an unexpected hug. He’s not really used to being the one receiving affection, especially in the romantic aspect, so he gets a bit embarrassed and tries to hide it. 

But even though he’s flustered, it’s clear he likes it. He’s just not the best at handling these moments and tends to shy away a little, even appearing stiff and awkward when you hug or do anything similar. He isn’t afraid to make it known if he wants some space, but he never does.

When it comes to public displays of affection, Nagisa might act a little awkward, especially if he’s still figuring out how he feels or if this is one of his first relationships (Which it probably is). 

You might notice him getting a little nervous, and stiffly trying to figure out what to do next. But despite his awkwardness, he never pulls away. He might be unsure, but he enjoys the attention and affection—it just takes him a bit to get comfortable with it.

If you surprise him with a quick kiss on the cheek or randomly hold his hand, he’ll likely be a little stunned at first. He doesn’t always know how to react, but once the initial shock passes, he’ll likely settle into the moment, maybe laughing softly or smiling shyly. He definitely enjoys the affection but might need a second to process it all, especially if it’s out of nowhere. 

His reaction isn’t over-the-top, but he’s happy and flattered in his own reserved way. Though, I think things would be best taken slowly since he isn’t someone that’s immediately affectionate.

Nagisa can be pretty self-conscious when affection gets a bit more intense. If you hug him or kiss him in front of others, he might get a little unsure of himself, but he’ll still lean into it. He’s just careful with how much he shows, especially in public. 

He might hesitate or even act a little shy at first, but once he’s used to it, he’s happy to receive your affection, even if he’s a little embarrassed.

When Nagisa shows affection, it’s usually through small, thoughtful gestures. He’s not one for grand romantic displays, but he’ll do little things to let you know he cares. Whether it’s helping you out with classwork, surprising you with a snack when you’re feeling down, or just offering to be there when you need someone to talk to, he’s the type to show his love through actions rather than words. 

He’s also pretty protective in his own quiet way, stepping in when someone’s being rude or just making sure you’re safe. He’s not the overbearing type, but you can tell he cares a lot by the way he looks out for you.

Nagisa’s main love language is probably acts of service, followed by words of affirmation. He shows love by helping with tasks or just offering support, doing things that make your day a little easier. 

He’ll also offer gentle, sincere compliments, though he’s not always super confident when it comes to expressing his feelings verbally. When he does compliment you, it’s always thoughtful and meaningful, even if he’s a little shy about it.

In terms of physical affection, Nagisa enjoys the more subtle moments. He might brush your hand lightly or pull you into a quick hug when no one’s around. If you initiate a kiss, he won’t pull away, but he’ll likely get flustered. 

He’s not the type to make big moves, but if the relationship develops, he’ll become more comfortable with affectionate gestures like cuddling during a movie or resting his head on your shoulder.

If you tease him after showing him affection, like kissing him and then playfully teasing him about it, he’ll probably get a bit defensive but in an unserious, flustered way. He might try to hide his embarrassment, but secretly, he enjoys it.

 It shows him that you’re comfortable with him, and that’s something he really values, even if he doesn’t always know how to react.

Nagisa’s way of showing and receiving affection might be more understated, but it’s always genuine. He’s a bit shy at first, but as he gets more comfortable, he becomes more open to the ways you both express your feelings for each other.

He loves the smell of rain. It's definitely his favourite scent, but he doesn't like how his clothes stick to his body afterwards.

Likes laying his head on your lap when he's tired. He also finds it soothing when you gently trace his facial features with your fingertips, mostly his eyebrows. He'd never say anything about it though, not wanting to seem needy.

Will kiss you on the nose. 100%. You can not escape it.

Blushes when you catch him staring, though sometimes it depends on the scenario. Let's say, things aren't official yet, so when you catch him with that look in his eye and a smile ticking his lip up he gets really flustered, especially if you mention it.

Aaaa, thank you so much, that means everything to me! Lyney is my favorite character so I'd absolutely love to write more about him <3 I might have gotten a little carried away this time, too... and I didn't even go into the ways Lyney himself shows affection!

Receiving Affection - Lyney

One thing is for sure, my boy is 1000% a blushy mess. Lyney is the type of person who will flirt endlessly, but can't handle it when the affection is returned. He'll freeze up and you can just see the wheels in his mind grind to a halt as he struggles to comprehend what he's just heard. He starts stammering, trying desperately to respond with something equally smooth. And ohh, the blushing. The first time you flirt with him - or even just give him a sincere compliment - you'll notice a faint pink hue gracing his cheeks. But the longer it goes on, the deeper his blush will get, all the while he's trying valiantly to pretend he isn't phased in the slightest by your words.

It's so easy to fluster him. Like, almost too easy, especially early on in your relationship. Any little thing can get to him, from holding his hand to complimenting his magic, and he'll end up fighting the urge to grin like an idiot. Your very presence makes him so incredibly happy, and anything that makes him remember that you belong to him makes him want to scream and jump around in excitement. Even before you begin dating, giving him a certain smile or brushing against him is all it takes to have him blushing and forgetting his words.

It might seem a little out of character for a chronic sweet-talker like Lyney to be so easily reduced to a mess, but it isn't. Deep down, he never thought anyone would be attracted to him in such a way, so he's genuinely shocked by your attention. It makes him feel emotions he's never experienced, and it's far too easy for him to get overwhelmed. He's somewhat like a stereotypical teenage girl - he's a lovesick fool who overthinks everything and daydreams about you. He'll never shut up about you to anyone he speaks to, even when he thinks he's being subtle. He's not subtle in the slightest, just ask Lynette...

Lyney doesn't have a huge preference for how exactly you show affection - anything is more than fine with him. Sometimes he can be painfully oblivious, and you'll have to make your intentions clear to him, but most of the time he's quick to pick up on it. He's the type who will learn the ways that you show affection, so he's genuinely happy no matter what.

That said, the way he best feels affection is probably words of affirmation. He needs to hear how much he means to you, he needs to know he's doing things right and not screwing up. He responds very strongly to praise - he is a performer, after all! Make him feel loved, make him feel wanted and adored, and he'll melt every single time, your words echoing in his mind long after they've left your lips.

One of his favorite varieties of this, while not exactly words of affirmation, is definitely lively banter. Make dumb jokes, lightly tease him, things like that. He absolutely loves it when you get playful, and he always ends up grinning like a fool. If you can match his energy and feed off of one another, you'll both be laughing hysterically before long!

He's also incredibly weak for physical touch. I think Lyney is incredibly touchstarved. Sure, he's got Lynette by his side, but hugs from her are different. There's just something about your touches that makes him feel so incredibly loved, and he's addicted to the feeling. He's always seeking out those casual little touches, even if it's as simple as holding your hand or brushing up against you - he's the kind of person who always wants to be touching you in some way, so long as you're okay with it.

He's an absolute cuddle fiend, too. When you wrap your arms around him, it's almost like all of his stress and worries just melt away. If you share a bed, you'll often wake up to find him wrapped around your body like a koala, and you'll have to either wake him or pry his limbs off to move. His favorite position, however, is lying with his head on your chest. It lets him listen to your heartbeat, the world's most soothing sound, and if you'll play with his hair, ohh, he's in heaven. Even if he's wide awake and anxious when you lay with him like that, he'll be asleep within half an hour. He can't help it - he just feels so safe and loved in your arms.

And when you give him something?? He practically malfunctions. The mere thought of you spending time, effort, or Mora on him is just... unbelievable. Perhaps it's due to growing up the way he did, an orphaned child with absolutely nothing, or perhaps it's just who he is. He treasures everything he's given as a present, especially when the present comes from you. The first time you give him something truly special or handmade, he's utterly speechless and suddenly fighting back tears.

He loves spending quality time with you, too. He's just happy to be in your presence, no matter what you're doing. Parallel play works perfectly fine for him - you can both do your own things in a shared space. Taking walks together is definitely one of his favorite activities, and he genuinely just enjoys hanging out with you, no matter what the two of you are doing.

He can have a hard time accepting acts of service sometimes due to his stubborn determination to do everything himself. If you want to do something for his siblings, though, he'll be eternally grateful! Be patient with him. Soon, he'll start allowing you to help him, too, and eventually he'll even quietly ask for your assistance for small favors. He genuinely appreciates your help, truly, especially if you notice that he needs something and assist him with it.

Honestly anything you do with him makes him feel loved and appreciated, and he's never been happier than he is with you by his side. Give him lots of love and affection, he certainly needs it!
