You Get It You Do - Tumblr Posts
it definitely took kokomi some getting used to. at first she was kind of hurt by just how often kusuo would deny her requests or disagree with her, but after a while she started understanding it from a new perspective. he's not being disrespectful, in fact he's being exactly the opposite. he's showing her that his love is not based on his perception of her, but rather on who she truly is. the time they spend with eachother isn't based on a desire to worship kokomi, but the activities they enjoy with each other and a genuine appreciation for the time spent with one another. of course, kusuo's going to have to do some things he may not want to do, but so is kokomi. in a relationship between two people regarded as higher beings for once they can regard someone as their equal. and thats everything to them.
they teach eachother to be open in different ways. kusuo teaches kokomi that it's okay to be negative sometimes, that she's not any less of a person for getting upset. he teaches her that the most perfect person she can be is her authentic self, and that having negative emotions is natural and doesn't make her worse in any way. just like how kokomi teaches saiki to look at things from a more positive perspective, she helps him learn to see the beautiful side of things he once regarded as ugly. she teaches him that being kind and accepting people into his bubble will not harm him, and will in fact make him all the better.
they bring out each other's most authentic selves. theyre both terrified of being so open about the worst parts of themselves but not once does the other judge them. they think that the other is all the more beautiful for it. they accept each other's flaws and find them endearing in a way.
their love for eachother is soft and gentle, it's something they can always return to for comfort and oftentimes do.
kokomi helps kusuo to be vulnerable, even if just with her. she provides a safe space for him to be his truest self without even a shred of disregard. she shows him that she cares and that no matter what he does she will not love him any less for it. she shows him how it feels to be accepted for his powers and not to be made into anything for having them. not a monster, not a god, not selfish, not selfless, nothing. she lets him define himself, not his powers.
