piggybacking off the straight edge izaya (sorry i have literally no one else in my life that knows wtf im talking abt) i think weed would fix at least HALF of shizuo's problems like someone *please* give this man a joint or something 😭
bitch forget weed — the man needs to go see a good therapist so he can finally sort out his trauma wounds 😂
anyways
yeah. if shizuo had a stoner!darling who got ripped with him, some of that aggression might just melt away. he has trauma. weed helps him forget if he needs to. simultaneously, it gives him a place to process safely if he wants to. you encourage him to talk about his feelings when he’s high — the pain he feels, the memories he harbours. though he might not say so, he’s grateful. he shows his gratitude through little nuzzles and cuddles when you’re hanging out. it’s weaved into the sureness of his arms, as he holds you after a long day of work. it’s embroidered into the small gifts he leaves on your bedside table for you to wake up to — because he knows how hard mornings can be for you. and it’s cut into the fabric of the clothes he buys you with what’s left over from his pay check after he pays his rent for the month. over time, he folds into you effortlessly, never encountering a romance like this before. god he grows to love you so much. it makes him wanna take care of you as you’ve taken care of him.
