headcannon: asexual shigaraki (x gn! reader)

((I'm writing this one in a different format than my other ones, let me know what you think!))

-when it came to sex, shigaraki just was not interested 

-it's not that he'd never thought about it, he just knows it'd be too much of a hassle what with his quirk and all

-sex just seemed overhyped, in his opinion

-however, there were times he wanted a romantic relationship, but was afraid no one would ever want a boyfriend uninterested in sex

-but then he found you, and you never pushed him to do anything that might make him uncomfortable

-he thought it was strange that someone would be so accepting of his asexuality, as it was something he'd always felt a bit ashamed of

-but you were nothing but reassuring from the get-go

-you were more than content to just cuddle with your gamer boy, or play video games with him (which he usually won, but as time went on you were able to best him on occasion)

- "i don't know why you put up with me"

"why the hell wouldn't I, shiggs?"

-he felt he wasn't enough for you because he didn't want to have sex with you, and worried this meant he didn't care enough for you. he always made sure to let his love be known to you through his words, constantly praising you and telling you how much he cared, but he still felt like a bad boyfriend 

-he admitted this to you one day and you just kissed him all over his scarred face

"baby boy, you're not a bad boyfriend at all. you're the most handsome, loving, amazing boyfriend in this entire world and i'm so incredibly lucky to call you mine"

-you worried so much for him, from his scratching to his fear of inadequacy. you showered him with affection. you let him know in all the ways you could, that you loved him with all your heart. his asexuality had never been a problem for you nor would it ever be.

-one day, you held his wrist up to your lips, to kiss the speeding pulse that beat there, moving your mouth to kiss the palm of his hand. "your hands are so lovely, tomura."

"stop that, (y/n), i could kill you if you're not careful."

"hmm. i don't think i'd mind so much."

"but i would!" he raised his voice, snapping his hand from your grip. "you don't need to be touching my hands, (y/n)."

"i want to, though. i'm not afraid of you-"

"i know you aren't, that's the problem! i'm just trying to keep you safe, dammit! it's all i can do for you."

"what's that supposed to mean?" you asked, putting a hand on his knee. 

"i mean, it's not like i can be intimate with you like normal guys-"

"excuse me? what the hell's normal?" you asked with a chuckle. "honestly babe you need to stop worrying so much! i tell you all the time that that stuff doesn't matter to me. i'm just happy to be with you."

you kissed his cheek. "i promise. nothing else matters as long as i'm with you, tomura."
