What Soft Romance Cliche Are You?

what soft romance cliche are you?

love at first sight

let's be real, only children believe in "love at first sight." but you're a hopeless romantic probably sitting around in coffee shops waiting to meet "the one." and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. infatuation at first sight is more accurate. you are the moment when two people lock eyes, and the whole world stills. nothing is there but you and them. and there is suddenly a strong sense of longing. you love love, don't deny it. flowers, chocolates, the whole nine yards. because of this you are loved by many. hopefully you know it too: you are loved.

“  yes.  i am telling you what to do.  i’m telling you not to pull something like that again because—  ‘cause fucking hell.  i care about you.  okay? ” ( aggie from dabi bc i'm howling )

soft-ish angst. / accepting!

her breath hitches as he grasps her upper arms, gazing up at dabi as he scolds her. he... he cares about her? sure, he shows it in his own ways, he's never said it aloud before. it catches her off guard, that's for sure. it makes stepping in between him and a hero even more worth it. " i-i-i j-just wanted to p-protect you, dabi. " agatha admits softly, tears welling in her eyes. of course she knows he can protect himself just fine, but she also knows the effect his quirk has on his own body. she also knows a lot of damage could've been done had a fight broken out. wasn't it better this way? no one got hurt in the end, isn't that what matters?

she gently removes herself from dabi's grip on her and reaches up, fingertips lightly grazing his cheeks as her hands cup them. a warm smile forms on her lips as she gazes up at him. " i-i h-had no idea you f-felt this way. i c-care about you, too, y-you know? i-it— it's w-why i wanted to p-protect you. " agatha further admits, her thumb gently caressing his unburned skin, just slightly above the stitches in his cheek.

" for me, i... i-i th-think it started that night when w-we couldn't sleep a-a-and y-you let me sit beside you. i-i ended up falling asleep on you. " a soft giggle leaves her now. " that was the m-moment i began to have feelings for you, dabi. "

" indoor picnic? " her gaze lifts to colbie's and she mulls it over. it does sound nice... they get to still have their picnic and won't get rained on and possibly sick. she gives a nod after a moment, smiling. " yeah, th-that s-sounds good. i like that idea. " she leans up, kissing him in return before pulling away to finish putting together the rest of the sandwiches.

" m-maybe w-we could move the couch a-and coffee table out of the way a-and have it in the living room! " agtha's smile grows, more excited by the idea of having their picnic indoors. it isn't what she planned for, but it's good enough! " s-set th-the picnic blanket down, put a bunch o-of pillows around the edge a-and— and g-get comfy as we eat! "

agatha hums softly to herself, packing her and colbie's lunch for their picnic at the park. sandwiches, some fruit, drinks, a few— thunder rumbles and she stops, moving away from the table to the kitchen counter. she parts the curtains over the windows. what? when did it get so cloudy? and... yeah, now it's raining. agatha was so sure today's forecast was supposed to be sunny with clear skies! where did that go? her shoulders sink as a heavy sigh leaves her. pouting, she makes her way back to her boyfriend. " colbie... i-it's raining. now w-we c-can't go on our picnic date. "

COLBIE GASPS, WALKING over to peek out the window with her. he places his hand onto her lower back, frowning. she was right; it was downpouring! the wolf was disappointed, but there wasn't anything they could do. the rain was out of both of their control.

"ah, well..." he glances at the half-finished sandwiches that she was working on. he had gone upstairs to pull out the picnic blanket and basket out of storage. pursing his lips, he thinks.

and then, has a thought ( amazing, really ). "what if we have an indoor picnic?"

he asks, smiling at her. he places his hands on her hips, pulling her close. the werewolf loved Agatha.

"we could put on some music, maybe some bird sounds, make a nest in the living room 'n we could eat our sandwiches and tea there. what do you think, sweetie?" he murmurs, fingertips lifting her chin before he kisses her.
