Dating Tamaki Amajiki/Suneater Would Include...

You and Tamaki have known each other since he, Mirio and you were little.

He has such a massive crush on you by the time you’re in your first year at U.A. begins, it’s not even funny.

I mean, any time you walk into a room, he literally has a mini heart attack.

He’s actually had a crush on you since you were kids.

Now, even though he’s had a crush on you for years he’s never pursued his feelings for you because he doesn’t even know how to.

If you sit near him in class (which you do) he always looks straight ahead, never moves, like a literal statue.

He knows that if he gets even a glimpse of you, his face is going to burn until it melts off.

He won’t even turn around to talk to Mirio or Nejire. His eyes are glued to the chalkboard all day.

Tamaki gets a little jealous of Mirio, because obviously, as we all know, Mirio is outgoing as hell and Tamaki knows that Mirio talks with you all the time.

Tamaki gets so anxious about it; watching Mirio make you laugh is like a knife in his gut because he wishes that he could work up the courage to even talk to you and Mirio just makes it look so easy. Like, how is he supposed to compete with that???

Nejire is even worse, because she absolutely annihilates Tamaki on the daily!

Tamaki will be literally minding his own business when you walk into class and Nejire slaps him on the back of the head, points at you, and shouts. “LOOK WHO’S HERE, TAMAKI!!!”

Despite him having a major crush on you, it takes you some time to decipher on whether or not he likes you.

Like, yeah, he blushes whenever you come around - but is he blushing because of you? Or is it because he has the social skills of wet cardboard and dreads interaction with literally anyone and anything?

Plus, it’s not like he’s going to tell you that he likes you; whenever you 2 do get the chance to talk he’s either deathly silent, or he makes up some sort of excuse and runs away.

There was one time where the 2 of you were partnered up in class for a project and before you could say a single word to him, he stood up, asked the teacher if he could go and use the bathroom, and then never came back.

At one point, just after your 2nd year at U.A. begins, Mirio and Nejire completely exhausted their patience.

So, one day after class they both corner you after class and not so inconspicuously invite you to hang out after school.

Tamaki, shortly afterwards got a text from Mirio telling him the same thing (not mentioning at all that you’re going to be there of course!), and when he shows up and sees you with Nejire and Mirio, his soul physically leaves his body.

And Mirio and Nejire DO NOT allow him to run off like he usually does.

He’s on edge the whole time.

Anytime you even look his way, he starts sweating bullets, but hanging out with you mitigates some of his anxiety, probably because he gets to spend some personal time with you outside of school (especially when Mirio and Nejire disappear all of a sudden and leave the 2 of you alone).

He’s still a bit awkward though, but it’s a great improvement from the years that he’s spent crushing on you from afar and having literally no outlet for his feelings.

He loves to talk with you because hearing you talk about LITERALLY ANYTHING makes him fall for you so much more than he already has.

As the 2 of you hang out more and more during the summer and after school, it gets easier for him and Tamaki learns how to actually breathe in your presence without having an anxiety attack.

Now, we all know that Tamaki would be too nervous to be the one to ask you out so, you would be the one to ask him out.

To which he would (shy and nervously of course) accept.

Your first date would be at a butterfly farm because you know that butterflies help him relax.

You would both sit there for hours relaxing in each others presence making small talk

The first date would end with you kissing his cheek.

Mirio would ask him all about it and bug him for details the next day at school.

Which he eventually caves, telling him everything.

Mirio would be super supportive and convinces Tamaki to ask you on the next date.

He does ask you if you want to go on another date - albeit very nervously, of course.

When he hugs you he buries his face in your neck as he circles his arms around your waist

Your first kiss together doesn’t happen until later on in your relationship (it was about 6 months into your relationship) because he’s too nervous to make the first move and you refrained from making the first move because you didn’t want to do anything he was uncomfortable with and push him out of his comfort zone.

Over time he’ll be less awkward about it, but there are some things that will always feel like a daunting task.

Kissing you is one of them. It doesn’t matter if he’s kissed you once or a thousand times, Amajiki will always be bashful about asking for a kiss.

Doting on Amajiki is a double-edged sword as the outcome is always varied and unpredictable.

It’s easy for Tamaki to write off praise or compliments as people taunting him no matter who said it and hearing such things from you won’t lessen the likelihood of him taking your sweet words in a negative way.

He doesn’t mean to discredit your loving words but it’s hard for him to accept any form of praise and your compliments are no exception. It also doesn’t help with his anxieties to hear a constant stream of praise as it makes him feel as though he’s letting you down whenever he doesn’t live up to your compliments.

Tamaki is absolutely head over heels for you, so much so that he found himself so stunned by you that he’s tripping over and stuttering and becoming a flustered mess whenever he’s around you, especially when you take his hand or kiss his cheek.

PDA is almost a complete and utter no - It really depends on the situation

He won’t initiate it unless he is only with his friends (Even then he’s still shy though)

He doesn’t like PDA because he doesn’t know how to respond to it and he gets really flustered so his face flushes pink

He might be a little touch starved so he was a little awkward about accepting your affections at first

But when he gets used to it as his relationship with you progresses he starts to crave your hugs and kisses when your alone

He would always hold your hand in public, mostly to keep his anxiety at bay.

He’d even try to give you small pecks on the cheek when he was feeling brave and usually refused to leave your side.

After a while though, he would start to get used to the physical touch.

Even so, he touches you very carefully and softly, as if you were made of glass.

Kisses with Tamaki can be a little clumsy, their also a little tentative and gentle

Soft kisses on the tip of the nose, cheeks, foreheads, corner of the mouth, neck…

You help him with his social anxiety and Mirio and Nejire are forever grateful to you for that.

There are times where you’re trying to study together but it sometimes ends up in a passionate kissing session, completely ignoring the rest of the world.

He’ll blush like Kirishima’s hair whenever you kiss his cheek

When he gets random sudden bursts of confidence he might give one back

Maybe

In the comfort of your homes/dorm rooms though it’s a little different

At the start of your relationship he would never initiate cuddling

But as he gets more and more confident he will shyly ask for them

If you thought that Tamaki was the type to never initiate the cuddles

Then you were right!

This babyboy is way too freaking shy to even think about touching you, let alone to be the one to touch you first.

Don’t be mistaken though - He loves the cuddles

He loves snuggling his head in your neck.

And he especially loves it when you draw circles on his back when you’re on his lap facing him, his face pressed into the little juncture between your shoulder and neck. He gets goosebumps and tingles in his spine. He doesn’t dare to face you though, because he is always as red as a tomato when you touch him and he doesn’t want you to see him like that.

You don’t know it, but when you fall asleep. Unaware of your surroundings. He likes to turn you over to him, so he can admire your pouty lips and your peaceful expression.

Whenever you shuffle or grumble, he gets a little anxious, panicking at the thought that you could catch him in the act.

You don’t tell him this, but you sometimes pretend to be asleep so you can press your head against his chest, hearing the pounding of his racing heart

You can’t help it, he’s just too endearing

You cuddle like this:

He likes to be the little spoon - It makes him feel safe and protected

He said “I love you” first

It happened while the 2 of you were lying in your bed at your house (This was in the beginning of your 3rd year of UA before the dorms were built) after studying and hanging out for a while. You had your eyes closed and you were on the verge of sleep when you felt him lift his head up and caress your hair gently. You kept your eyes closed, just enjoying the feeling when he starts a little monologue.

“…God… I really hope that you’re asleep right now, because I have a lot to say but I don’t have the confidence to say it all out loud… but, you’re amazing.”

He paused for a moment.

“You help me relax even though you also make me panic, like am I going to say something wrong and make you hate me? But I want you to know that no matter what, I love you.”

Him saying this made you want to open your eyes and say “I love you too Tamaki” but you decided on just keeping your eyes closed to not want to destroy the progress that he’s making.

(You tell him I love you at a later date)

Tamaki doesn’t like saying I love you.

It has nothing to do with his actual feelings for you as he’s never loved anything or anyone more than he loves you. It’s just the act of saying it that makes him anxious to the point of silence. Anytime he wants to say it he unintentionally clams up and drops it before he can embarrass himself further.

He gets better at it with time, but sometimes reverts back to hiding his face when he says it. And he’ll always show you some form of confirmation whenever you say it, whether it’s verbal or not you’ll know you’re loved.

He won’t admit it, but whenever you watch him train he tries harder.

He just loves that look of amazement on your face as you watch him.

You make Tamaki confident in himself whenever you’re around.

Praise him and his heart will do flips and he will fall for you more.

He will always have your back. No. Matter. What.

He won’t admit it but he gets jealous a lot.

He just keeps it to himself though.

If he sees anyone hit on you, makes you uncomfortable, hurt you - They get this look intentionally:

No one gets away with that. EVER.

It’s a mini confidence boost moment. He puts you under his arm after giving them the look and walks away with you as they stare in disbelief.

Just as you round the corner though he goes back to being really shy and apologizes for just dragging you away like that. But you always reassure him that you were glad he did so.

Fights almost always stop before they start - Because Tamaki’s anxiety comes in and he thinks you're going to leave him

Tamaki is the type of boyfriend to buy matching clothes for him and you.

He likes to have Netflix dates.

He loves you very much!

You are on his mind 24/7!

He’s the type of boyfriend that will make you breakfast in the morning.

He will comfort you whenever you feel sad, insecure etc.

He has a bunch of cute photos of you and him in his gallery.

You always watch the sunset together and then spend hours and hours looking at the stars, promising each other that you will be together forever.

When you’re sad, Tamaki does everything to see a smile on your face; he makes your favorite tea (or any other drink that you’d like to have), holds you tightly in his lap and strokes your hair while leaving soft kisses on your forehead and on your temple.

If you want to talk about it, Tamaki will listen to everything and do everything that he can to help you.

But if you don’t want to talk about it, he’ll understand perfectly and will continue to caress you, silently saying that he will always be with you no matter what.

He loves to call you cute names, so get ready.

Does he worry? Um… well, yes.

Tamaki worries a lot… like in general, he worries a lot. But for you? Full-fledged panic.

During a villain attack one time, you were helping civilians escape one of the buildings that were close to the battle, then the building started to collapse when the villain shot a very strong attack at the building.

All of the civilians got out safely luckily, you weren’t so lucky though… As the building was collapsing, it fell around you, luckily though, you had found a small pocket to hide in, so that you were unharmed.

Tamaki had been looking at the building that you were in when it had collapsed and to say that he was FRANTIC in his search for you is a MAJOR understatement.

He was restless, and when he saw the villain that had “killed” you.

Let’s just say that he wasn’t the shy and timid Tamaki Amajiki anymore.

Nope!

Suneater took over and he LITERALLY FLOORED the villain.

After the villain had been taken into custody Tamaki and a few others were looking through the rubble of the building that had collapsed for you.

As Tamaki was searching through the rubble he had thought that he was hallucinating when he saw you crawling out of the rubble, crawling over a large block of cement not too far away from where he was.

“(Y/N)…” he said out of surprise before he sprinted over to you.

As soon as he got to you, he took you in his arms and outright refused to let go.

No one wanted to challenge Suneater that day.

He stuck to you like glue for about four days, then he backed off a little.

He’s very scared of losing you.

Which is something his insecure ass thinks of too much.

So your job is to shower him with compliments, love, appreciation, reassurance, and smiles.

If you ever got hurt, he’d turn really protective and somewhat hostile (especially if it was a villain who hurt you like I said above)

He’s always got anything you need ready.

Snacks, drinks, sweaters, whatever.

He thinks he’s a bad boyfriend, he thinks he’s a mess but that’s not true.

Just reassure him every now and then!

So while you’re in a relationship with Tamaki you have to reassure him a lot and also tell him outright how great you think he is because he has a bit of a pessimistic outlook on things, he always expects the worst to happen

He also reminds you of any special event.

Your work study time changed? He’ll text you that morning to remind you.

Have a test coming up? He’ll set up a reminder for himself and make sure to find time so you can both study together.

Someone’s birthday coming up? He’ll remind you. Tamaki’s really good at that.

Tamaki’s also extremely observant.

If you’re upset, he’ll notice right away. He’s not very good at giving advice, but he’s a great listener. He’ll listen to you vent all night and often encourages you to talk about your feelings. He’s great at cuddles so that’s what he prefers to do. If you’re upset or crying, he’ll just hold you tightly and reassure you.

He asks a lot of questions throughout your relationship too. Examples include:

“Is this okay?”, “Am I doing this right?”, and maybe even a pessimistic “Why do you even like me?”

Tamaki’s an amazing boyfriend.

He’s just a little nervous when it comes to you because he’s so madly in love with you and he doesn’t want to scare you away. But that’s not gonna happen, ever.
