Ramble abt ur comfort characters
thinking about how even though aizawa is not vain he isn’t oblivious to his own appearances. just because he doesn’t worry over his looks or how others perceive him to the point of actually changing himself to suit others standards, he’s aware of how he looks to the general public and to those he cares about.
he doesn’t dress up as much as mic of course, but he puts his hair up sometimes, he styles it. he wears different outfits than just sweats and a t shirt bc it makes him feel good to do something every once in a while.
but in any case, I like to think that he gets a little insecure whenever he gets a new scar (slight manga spoiler: especially about his new facial scar bc of just how noticeable) he knows that getting scars is a natural occurance as a hero, and that you shouldn’t be ashamed of them but when ever he looks into the mirror he can’t help but trace yet another scar, another flaw on a face that wasn’t all that pretty in the first place.
logic deems that he shouldn’t worry about to, mic loves him, but he still wonders, worries. despite his self assurances, sometimes things slip out. It’s not super obvious but he’ll make little comments to mic about his sporran right, like “guess I can scare the kids into behaving more” or “still love my beat up mug?”, all half joking but maybe not.
and when enough is enough and mics alone in the office or at home, he cups aizawa’s face in his hands and just holds him gently and reassures him that yes he does still love him and a new scar or two isn’t going to change that. and actually the double scar is hot anyway so what do you mean shouta, how come you get to look even better than before, with a joking smirk, with such sincerity and love poured in.
and in that moment even tho those doubts don’t completly go away, aizawa feels so loved and beautiful yeah I’m soft over aizawa knowing that no matter what scars he receives he’ll always be beautiful in the eyes of the one he cares about most
