Bakadere

you love him, honestly you do, and he’s very sweet, but-

sometimes he is just impossible.

“I’m sorry S/O! I completely forgot the time and then I got lost on the way here and then I showed up at the wrong restaurant but the food was sooo good there so I had to-”

every. single. date. you swear.

he can’t cook, he’s way too clumsy for that.

but he tries to, because he knows you’d like it if he could.

even though it usually ends in a mess, and even though he usually can’t clean up that mess without making an even bigger one.

he apologizes a lot, and you can tell he’s a upset when he does, because he really does love you dearly and he doesn’t like disappointing you.

you try not to get frustrated with him, and when you tell him everything is okay and offer to help him, you can practically see his entire world brighten up.

your approval means a lot to him, he loves you!

and knowing that you love him enough to help him even if he’s not the smartest means the world to him.

sometimes he gets pretty self-conscious, he knows he’s an idiot and it honestly does upset him.

he’s sorry.

but you’re always there to make him feel better, to talk to him, to praise him, to encourage him.

and when you do, he’s back to his sunshiney personality in no time.

Bodere

it took absolutely forever for him to actually confess, and you had a few close calls when trying to get close to him!

every compliment was a risk of getting punched.

every date proposal was a risk of getting punched.

every line of flattery was a risk of getting punched.

but honestly, you can’t lie, you loved seeing the way his face completely reddenned whenever you slipped in a smooth compliment, the way his fists clenched and you knew what was coming but you couldn’t bring yourself to take your eyes off of the flustered expression on his face.

finally, you just had to ask about the punching. the CONSTANT punching.

a long conversation and several punches later-

“W-Well I like you! Is that what you wanted to hear?! Jeez!”

Even now, dating him, every compliment is a risk of getting punched.

But honestly? He’s sweet, he loves you, he’s kind and he would never really intentionally want to hurt you.

But even to this day you worry that on your wedding day he’s going to punch you in the mouth instead of kissing you.

Dandere

getting close to him was definitely a struggle.

he seemed to be looking at you sometimes, he seemed interested, but he would never talk to you, and even if you initiated a conversation he was pretty quiet.

you felt pretty hopeless, there was a lot of effort on your part and very little on his.

you were starting to feel like this was more one-sided than you had thought.

and then, finally, he started opening up a little.

“We should hang out some time.”

that was all he said, but the second he said it, you were just elated.

he’s still pretty distant and quiet, even though you’re together now, but despite that, he still enjoys cuddling you, spending time with you, little things like that.

he always looks surprised when you fluster him, the expression on his face is just adorable, you know it was worth getting to know him more, just to see the expressions on his face.

spending time with him is really nice when he opens up more, and getting to hear his laugh is actually really nice! it’s cute!

as time goes on, he does become more talkative, he seems to really like your company.

Darudere

now this was difficult and confusing, because he showed NO interest in you at all.

he was talkative, he was expressive, and he was fairly popular! he talked to a lot of people in your class, just...

never you.

he never even looked at you.

but you really did like him. he was funny, charming, cute, and decently popular too.

but he just never noticed you.

until one day, he did.

“Hey, wanna come eat lunch with us? Can’t be too fun sitting here alone.”

you were around all his friends, and while you’d have liked to be alone with him, this was definitely a step up!

it took a few more invitations before he finally had you alone.

he was still just treating you like an acquaintance though, nothing special.

and then, out of nowhere-

“Hey, do you wanna kiss?”

he was looking at you like it was no big deal, but you could see a faint blush on his cheeks.

you didn’t wait another second before kissing him.

to this day, dating him is still hard, he treats you like more of a friend than anything.

but at the few moments where you get him alone and manage to fluster him, you’re honestly in love.

it’s worth the effort.

Deredere

he’s small enough to be fully capable of clinging to you at all hours of the day. 

he constantly wants your love and affection, and is fully willing to return it.

in public? always gotta be holding hands.

he’s very sweet, you’ll admit, but almost sickeningly so.

but you just can’t say no to that face.

he loves you very very much and even more than that, he loves showing it!

he loves cuddles too, so don’t expect to have your side of the bed all to yourself.

expect to wake up tangled in your boyfriend.

he doesn’t help much around the house, but only because he’s constantly on you.

and on days when you need it, it’s really very sweet.

and on days when you don’t, it’s really very frustrating.

he just really loves you!

so when you tell him to back off, you can see he’s upset.

and the look on that adorable face breaks your heart.

you apologize with lots of hugs and cuddles, you know it’s just the kind of boyfriend he is, you’re sorry.

on rare occassions, even he needs some alone time!

usually when he’s sad or upset.

and when this happens, you really notice how good you have it, how much you enjoy his happy affection.

it’s weird to be away from him, and it sucks to know he’s upset.

but he needs space sometimes.

but not for too long.

soon you go and comfort him, cuddle him, remind him that you care about him just as much as he cares about you.

that usually cheers him up.

Hajidere

you definitely thought he was cute when you first saw him!

but you could never actually hold a conversation with him, because every time you tried, he’d get so flustered that he’d just walk away without a word!

you were a bit concerned, were you doing something wrong, was he sick?

you just couldn’t converse with him without him turning into a blushing mess!

finally, you just couldn’t take it anymore. you waited until everybody had left the classroom, until it was after school, until he had no excuse to run off again.

you asked him what was wrong, why he wouldn’t talk to you, why he was so nervous.

he got so red you thought he had a fever.

“I-I’m- I’m sorry! I-I can’t hide it anymore, I-I like you!”

It takes you a minute to process, and then you almost found it funny.

that’s why he had been avoiding you? he was just flustered, just by you talking to him?!

that’s...kind of adorable honestly.

you press a swift kiss to his lips and he practically glows red, just in absolute shock, completely flustered.

what an adorable dork.

even dating now, he’s pretty easy to fluster and fairly nervous with his affection.

but he does love you very much!

he just gets really embarrassed showing it.

it’s fun to fluster him, but sometimes it’s nice to just be calm, and quiet, and cuddle him gently at home.

that’s nice too.

Himedere

he’s completely impossible to please.

the way he walks around like he owns you and the world is so frustrating that sometimes you just want to slap him.

but the thought of leaving a mark on that practically porcelain face is unimaginable.

he bosses you around like he’s earned the right to and it drives you crazy.

he doesn’t try to get your attention, he just waits for you to give it to him.

when he praises you for listening, it feels disgustingly condescending.

you don’t even know if you like him all that much, he just annoys you at most.

finally, you’ve just absolutely had it with the way he acts.

now, you’re ignoring him.

you can tell it makes him furious.

now he’s trying to get your attention.

whining constantly just so you’ll look his way, bitching about every little thing just so you’ll hear him, taking over your favourite hangouts with his presence, he’s inescapable.

and you’re annoyed.

it only takes a few days of this for it to drive you crazy. you grab him by the shoulders and tell him to just shut up already.

he seems genuinely taken aback, speechless even.

he didn’t expect this kind of reaction from you.

and suddenly, seeing him like this, wide-eyed and fascinated, you just melt.

without another thought, you kiss him, and that’s where it all begins.

even now in dating he’s bossy and annoying, but you love it.

until you hate it.

but regardless, he’s your boyfriend, and you love him very much.

...most of the time.

Hinodere

being around him is, for the most part, really a downer.

it’s hard to get past that original coldness.

every compliment, every conversation starter, it’s all painted negatively or shot down completely.

“Nice weather we’re having!”

“Who cares? It’s supposed to rain all week anyway.”

“You look really nice in that outfit!”

“Good, people judge you by your cover anyway, might as well doll it up.”

you just can’t find a way to get through to him.

you don’t know how to get it through to him that the world’s not such a bad place to be.

he just always seems so gloomy all the time.

finally, you need to talk to him about it.

“Maybe I can show you how to live just a bit...brighter?”

he seems pretty confused and very skeptic at first.

“Well, maybe I could show you some fun. How about we meet up at five? I’ll try to change your mind.”

one amusement park outing and dozens of follow up dates later, you two are in a pretty solid relationship.

he’s still a bit cynical at times, but you can tell you definitely helped him.

and it was certainly worth it, because he’s actually really loving.

you’re a light in his life.

that’s all he needed.

Kamidere

when you first hear about him, he sounds intimidating.

a supreme leader who views himself as a god, claiming everything and everybody as his own, ruling with an iron fist?

you were expecting somebody kind of scary.

and then you happened upon a tiny, slim, pale boy in an average school uniform, much shorter than you, shouting bossy demands at his band of followers.

which apparently now included you.

you couldn’t help but listen, something about him was just endearing and adorable.

you felt the need to follow his bratty demands.

eventually, you came to a sort of realization.

he bossed you around harder than anybody else, big time.

hand most of your demands were demands that kept you in proximity to him.

“Wh-What are you implying?! It is coincidence!”

it was definitely not coincidence.

his commands eventually started getting weird.

things that kept you close, things that he wouldn’t ask of others.

and finally...

“Mortal! I demand you to kiss me!”

you didn’t even ask questions, honestly.

nowadays, you two are a couple, and a close one at that.

he definitely doesn’t treat you like you’re even close to his level, but he treats you better than he treats anybody else, that’s for sure.

he’s actually really easy to fluster for somebody who claims to be godly, and it only makes him more adorable.

it was worth all the errands you had to run for him.

Kanedere

he pays absolutely no attention to you.

you think he’s smart, cute, interesting, and he doesn’t care about you at all.

that is, until you start leaving little gifts.

first it’s food, then gifts, then jewelry, then just straight cash.

you’re working three part time jobs to get this boy’s attention, but it’s working.

he’s practically glued to you, hinting for you to take him on dates, out to dinner, out anywhere really.

he’s always pointing out items or clothes he’d want you to buy him, and they’re always ridiculously overpriced, but you suppose you don’t have much of a choice if you want to keep him around.

you know he doesn’t care about you, but really, that’s okay.

you just love him a lot, and if loving him means paying him, then hell, you’ll work twenty jobs if that’s what it takes to keep him by your side.

anything to keep him happy!

as a couple, you two go out on a LOT of dates, usually to expensive malls or restaurants.

he’s a little annoyed that your schedule is so busy all the time, but you don’t have the guts to tell him that it’s so busy because of all your damn jobs.

oh well. as long as he’s happy!

you really do love him a lot.

Kuudere

you can never tell quite what he’s thinking, what with him always looking out the window or reading, never an expression on his face.

he’s just...completely stony.

you can barely ever get a word or an opinion out of him, no matter how hard you try, he just cares too little.

you’re honestly finding it impossible to get to know him at this rate.

every look he gives you is one of dull, hard disinterest.

then, finally, one day he just says it, blunt and simple.

“I want you to take me out to dinner. I don’t care if you don’t. It’s whatever.”

so he is interested after all!

...probably.

regardless, it means that he at least noticed you!

dinner goes...interesting??

you have to keep the conversation going for the most part, because he doesn’t say much.

he has no opinion on the restaurant.

he has no opinion on the food.

he has no opinion on almost any topic.

but as things go on...he starts to warm up to you a bit.

he’s a little more open, even carrying the conversation on his own for a little bit.

you can tell it’ll take time, but you’ll make him open up eventually.

nowadays, you’ve gotten to the point where he’s almost completely open with you.

he’s still stony and stoic with others, but not with you, never with you.

not with the person he loves.

Oujidere

you’re honestly quite surprised by how he acts around you.

you barely know the guy and he’s already being cautious of all others near you, stating that he needs to protect you, that you’re practically treasure.

he’s extremely gentlemanly, it’s not hard to tell he’s taken an interest in you.

he offers you his jacket, he defends you in all situations, he escorts you home, he’s just the perfect boyfriend and you aren’t even dating.

you almost feel like you’re taking advantage of him, even though you didn’t ask him to do any of this.

finally you actually decide to bring it up with him.

he seems surprised that it was on your mind this much, but he gladly and openly admits that he’s fallen in love with you.

you’re honestly pretty taken aback hearing that!

but you’re not going to lie, you’ve definitely developed feelings for him.

it’s like a story out of a fairy tale, the way he treats you, the way your relationship functions.

you almost can’t believe how smoothly everything goes.

you wake up every morning treated like a princess, complimented and protected every second of your day.

it’s really nice to have somebody care this much for you, honestly...

and you really do love him, it’s not just the constant pampering talking.

could a relationship really be this perfect? do fairy tales come true? 

maybe.

Tsundere

god, he is just IMPOSSIBLE sometimes.

every time you think you’ve gotten close to him, he’s acting up again!

one moment he’s cuddled up to you, and the next he’s shoving you away demanding that you not touch him! you’re completely lost on what he wants, you have no idea how he feels about you!

he’ll blush, he’ll stammer, but he’ll still end each statement by reminding you that you’re stupid and he hates you.

it’s really frustrating!

you’ve asked him out before, and he shot you down so bluntly you would have thought he was a stranger!

you really can’t tell if he’s interested, but with the way he acts, you’re starting to seriously doubt it.

but then again, there’s the moments when he blushes, the moments when he does nice things for you, when you think there might still be a chance.

just to be shot down again.

finally, you’ve had enough of the frustration, you’re sick of it.

you demand that he just tells it to you straight!

he seems shocked, but flusters right away, and that’s all the proof you need.

you kiss him, and he doesn’t resist. 

if anything, he kisses you back just as passionately.

he starts opening up from then, sweetening with time, losing his hostility as you two grow closer.

eventually you think it’s pretty safe to say you’re a couple.

honestly, you’re happy.

you really do love him.
