“Love” is his go-to, it comes out very naturally for him

“Darling” when he’s being a little more proper or teasing

“My dear” slips out when he’s focused on you or a bit softer than usual

If he’s feeling playful, he’ll use your name in a slightly dramatic tone just to get a reaction

He doesn’t overdo nicknames constantly, but when he uses them, they feel intentional

【Ｈ𝐨𝐰　𝐇𝐞　𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬　𝐓𝐨　𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬　𝐘𝐨𝐮】

Sabo is not the type to brag loudly, but he will show off a little if he knows you’re watching

Small demonstrations of skill

handling combat effortlessly

showing control over his abilities

stepping in confidently during tense situations

He glances at you after, not for praise, but to see your reaction

He also tries to impress you intellectually He enjoys conversations where he can exchange ideas with you, especially about the world, justice, or people

He will bring you things from places he visits Not random gifts, but things he thought you would like

If you compliment him, even casually, he remembers it And will absolutely try to live up to it again

【Ｗ𝐡𝐚𝐭　𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬　𝐇𝐢𝐦　𝐅𝐚𝐥𝐥　𝐀𝐥𝐥　𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫　𝐀𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧】

When you show kindness to others without expecting anything back

When you stand firm in your beliefs, even if it’s difficult

When you laugh freely around him

The quiet moments hit him the hardest Sitting together, talking softly, or even just existing in the same space

When you support him without needing all the details of what he does Trust is huge for him

When you take care of him in small ways Reminding him to rest, noticing when he’s pushing himself too hard

When you look at him like he’s just… Sabo Not a title, not a responsibility, just him

【𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜　𝐃𝐲𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐜】

Sabo is very affectionate, but not overwhelming

He leans into gentle physical contact

holding your hand

brushing his thumb over your knuckles absentmindedly

resting his hand on your back

He likes to keep you close, especially in public Not in a possessive way, just grounding

He is very attentive Notices small changes in your mood and adjusts accordingly

He will check in on you casually “You alright?” Said softly, like he already knows the answer

He is very good at balancing playful and serious Teasing you one moment, then being completely sincere the next

【𝐒𝐨𝐟𝐭　𝐌𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬】

Late night conversations where everything feels quieter

Him pulling you just slightly closer without interrupting what you’re doing

Sharing small smiles that feel more meaningful than words

If you fall asleep near him, he won’t move He’ll just sit there, letting you rest

He looks at you like he’s memorizing you sometimes Especially when you’re not paying attention

Sabo loves in a way that feels warm, steady, and genuine.

Not overwhelming, not distant.

Hiyah dear !! five years late butttt -3-

I am going to pair you with …

　　　　　　　　　　　　𝐒𝐚𝐛𝐨 　　　　　　 【Ｔ𝐡𝐞　𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐝　𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐞】

You would have met Sabo in a way that felt natural rather than dramatic.

Probably through circumstance, maybe through the Revolutionary Army, maybe through mutual connections, but the important part is that you did not immediately stand out in a loud way.

You were quiet.

Observant.

Reliable.

And Sabo noticed that faster than most.

He is very good at reading people, and with you, it did not take long for him to realize that what you show on the surface is not everything. You are reserved at first, but with the right people, you open up completely. That contrast draws him in.

“You’re different depending on who you’re with, aren’t you?”

He says it gently, not accusing, just curious.

You probably brush it off, maybe laugh it away, but he keeps that in mind.

Your relationship starts through small things.

You helping without being asked. Fixing something that broke. Cleaning up after others. Doing things quietly for the people you care about. You never point it out, never expect praise, but Sabo notices every single time.

And he remembers.

He is one of the first people to return that same kind of care to you.

If you forget something, he brings it. If you struggle with something, he steps in without making it obvious. If you are overwhelmed, he gives you space but stays close.

You both communicate through actions more than words.

And that is what makes it work so well.

Your feelings?

A disaster.

You would absolutely do anything for him, stand by him, support him endlessly… but actually saying how you feel?

Never.

You avoid it completely.

Sabo figures it out anyway.

Not because you tell him, but because of how you act. The way you prioritize him, the way you look at him when you think he is not paying attention, the way you always end up near him without realizing it.

He finds it… endearing.

He does not force a confession out of you.

Instead, he meets you where you are.

“You don’t have to say it.”

He tells you one day, voice soft but certain.

“I can tell.”

And that alone is enough to make your heart completely give in.

Sabo is also exactly the kind of person you asked for.

He is open, curious, and always willing to try new things. Whether it is exploring somewhere new, learning something different, or just doing something spontaneous, he brings you into it without pressure.

You might hesitate at first, but with him, it feels safe to try.

Your inability to cook?

A running joke.

He will try to teach you, patiently, laughing when things go wrong, never judging. If anything, it becomes something fun rather than something you feel bad about.

You burn something?

He is already smiling.

“We’ll try again.”

Your strength is something he respects deeply.

Even if you do not show sadness, even if you keep your struggles hidden, he does not see you as weak for it. He understands that it is your way of protecting yourself.

But he also gently challenges it.

“You don’t always have to be strong on your own.”

He never pushes too hard, but he stays consistent.

Over time, you start to let him see more.

Not all at once, not dramatically, just little pieces.

And he handles every single one of them with care.

The relationship is warm, steady, and built on mutual understanding.

You love through actions. He understands without needing words.

And somewhere between quiet support and shared moments, you realize…
