tenya iida || angst alphabet

a - accident (would they blame themselves if you died in an accident?)

definitely - he'd never stop blaming himself even when people try to convince him that it wasn't his fault. if he had been there then you wouldn't have died, he broke his promise to protect you. if it's even worse and you died in front of him he'll obsess over the fact that he could have done something, he'll spend weeks analysing the situation and what he could have done differently to prevent your death.

b - break up (how would they deal with one?)

he'd struggle a lot. he would have made sure he was 100% certain of his feelings towards you, and same with yours, before he even entered the relationship, so to have you suddenly do a one-eighty and break up with him was a shock. he's frustrated with himself for being so blinded by his love for you and not realising how your feelings for him changed. he'll be incredibly depressed, but mostly angry at himself and worry that he made you unhappy.

c - crying (are they much of a crier?)

not really. if he ever cries it's out of frustration or over you. if he feels like he isn't good enough for you then he'll cry, but typically he holds it all in and he'll never let you know that he's cried.

d - death (how do they deal with any death?)

he really struggles with death, especially if it involves someone he loves or is in a situation where he could have prevented the death. as a hero, he really struggles to cope when he witnesses people die in front of him and beats himself up about it. if its someone he loves then he'll obsess over it and it will always be at the forefront of his mind.

e - emotion (what's the emotion they tend to push away the most?)

he tends to push away his sadness the most. he doesn't want to feel sad around you and make you feel the same way because of his aura, and ultimately he refuses to let that show. he doesn't want anything to stand in his way of his goals or their relationship, but ultimately it does.

f - frustrated (how much would it take to push them off the edge?)

it takes a hell of a lot to push iida over the edge, but when he's pushed then he really vents his frustrations and anger. he just lets it all out all at once.

g - great pain (what is the most painful thing they have witnessed?)

definitely the death of a citizen right in front of his very eyes just as he was about to reach them. it makes him think about how that could just as easily have been you and it really shakes him to the core, and after that all he can every see is you whenever he sees a dying victim.

h - humiliation (how could they be humiliated?)

if he ever makes any rash, unnecessary moves that actually endanger people more than normal then he feels incredibly embarrassed. also if he goes in for a kiss and you walk away having not realised that was what he was doing - he feels super awkward after that.

i - injured (how do they handle themselves when injured?)

he freaks out a hell of a lot because he worries that whilst he's incapacitated you'll be hurt. he often attempts to continue acting like normal even though he's actually just harming himself even more.

j - jittery (which part of their past makes them flinch or even worked up?)

definitely when his brother was injured and almost killed. he gets incredibly frustrated and angry and upset that he couldn't do anything, and he obsesses over what he was doing at the time his brother was being hurt. sometimes he can't shake it off and often it ruins things in the present.

k - kill (would they kill for revenge?)

he wouldn't kill but he would probably hurt them. it depends how badly you're injured or if you're killed on how much he'd hurt them in return. he'd never kill, he'd never want to stoop to that level, but he certainly would injure them and simply say it was self-defence rather than an act of revenge.

l - loss (what was their greatest loss?)

probably his brother as a hero role model. his brother has always been his idol, so to have that idol wiped out so suddenly and so brutally was a massive hit from him, especially considering how close to death he was. it really does effect everything he does and he really does struggle to cope with it. years after he still can't get it from the forefront of his mind.

m - mistakes (how much do they want to fix the mistakes of their past?)

they try to fix what he can, and if he can't he spends a lot of time trying to do other things in the hope that it will help make up for them.

n - need (how would they react if you needed emergency surgery?)

he'd panic and he wouldn't be able to forget about the state his brother had been in. he'd pace back and forth for hours and hours until he finally got word on how you're doing. every time he sees a nurse or doctor he'll ask after you. he'll rake his hands through his hair and won't speak a word to anyone.

o - outrage (what makes them angry?)

if anyone hurts you or suggests hurting you. it really infuriates him and he makes sure to nip it the bud before any more harm comes to you.

p - pressure (what stresses them out to the breaking point?)

definitely maintaining the work-life balance. he wants to spend as much time as psychically possible with you but at the same time he wants to be able to detain villains who pose a threat to you. sometimes he'll get overwhelmed with how much hero duty he has, and he'll worry that you'll be upset and lonely if you work overtime.

q - qualify (what part of themselves do they see as dangerous?)

he thinks his anger and frustration is dangerous. it's rare he ever gets angry, but eventually he does and it's hard for him to control it. he worries that he'll accidentally hurt you or say something he really doesn't mean but lets slip in a fit of anger.

r - rock (what weighs them down?)

if he's ever made you upset or angered you he really overthinks it all and worries that he's upset you to the point where you may want to leave him.

s - sorrow (would they feel empty after your death?)

definitely. he wouldn't know what to do with himself, he'd truly become a robot and just sleep, eat and work. he wouldn't be able to do more than that.

t - time (what if they had limited time to live?)

he'd spend as much time with you as possible, he wouldn't want you to be alone at all and would make sure your time is as enjoyable as he can possibly make it.

u - urge (how badly do they get the urge to see you after separating?)

the urge at first isn't that bad, he'll miss you a lot, but then he'll get over it for a little while, but then when he's reminded of you he misses you a hell of a lot and can't get his mind off of you.

v - vent (how do they get rid of feelings they find unnecessary?)

usually he just pushes it aside and tries to forget about it, but if he's struggling to cope he'll talk to you. he doesn't want those emotions to get in the way of his relationship with you, so he'd quick to snuff them out before they can truly fester into something more.

w - wild card (a random angst headcanon)

when he gets jealous he makes it clear, he pulls you away from the person you're devoting your attention to and is grumpy for the rest of the evening.

x - x-ray (what makes them transparent? how obvious can they get around something they hate?)

whenever you get him to really relax he's really blunt and its clear how he's feeling and how exhausted he is.

y - yearning (do old memories make them yearn for your touch?)

oh definitely, he just want to be with you and be able to hold you. he misses you a hell of a lot and if he wants to be able to create more memories with you.
