Okay, so hear me out...
I saw a video on youtube, and ever since then I can't unsee it.
🖤Motorcycle Boyfriend Energy.
Sure, Hanta is sixteen/seventeen in the series and technically could have a motorcycle(I’m assuming his parents would say no to that), but I can so see him being a motorcycle person.
Picture Cellophane, the Pro Hero with a sick motorcycle. His bike would totally be a matte black YAMAHA YZF-R7 with little accents of bright yellow to match his hero costume. And, he always makes sure to double check his gear, and helmet—he takes safety seriously, especially when he knows he has you waiting for him at home.
He would absolutely adore taking you on rides at night, especially when the streets are empty, and on long stretches further away from the city where the air is cool, and will always give you his jacket no matter the weather. He triple checks your helmet, and you and him had to fight about whether or not you need elbow pads. You said no, he said yes. You won.
Sero is such a gentlemen, and he lowkey has beef with Mineta at times, especially when the squirt tries to mess with you or make you uncomfortable. You can always tell when Sero is reaching his Mineta Limit.
And when Sero first started liking you, he was completely normal on the outside. The usual casual guy who'd smile and laugh, and hold doors for you. But inside? He overanalyzed almost every interaction on his part, wondering if his smile was 'too much.'
He was definitely one of those guys who practiced asking you out in front of a mirror, and even at times would ask Kaminari to help him—without explicitly saying your name(Kaminari always would guess right.) But when it actually happened, he panicked and went off-script, but you couldn't tell because it was actually really smooth.
📢 You are his favorite topic.
Sero is a loyal man. And incredibly proud of you and all that you do—the Bakusquad will tease him endlessly because sometimes(they still have their group bro moments, and games. Obviously. Sero would never forget his bestfriends,) Sero will just start with, "Oh, that reminds me of something Y/N did— "
It was particularly bad in the first months of your relationship.
🎉Fun comes naturally with Sero.🎊
Anything you want to do? It's instant—ice cream at three a.m.? Of course. Sure, he might slink sluggishly out of bed at first, but he'll always do it for you. Especially for those of you who have 'that time of the month.'
Karaoke nights? Water gun fights? Midnight convenience store runs? Sero makes it all feel like a movie (and Bakugo often teases you both about 'love in paradise.')
He'll try anything once if it makes you laugh, because he knows you'll do the same. Even terrible TiktTok trends. Just as long as it's equal. Reciprocation is big for him, that and communication.
🥰 Sero is head over heels, and everyone knows it.
There will be times when both you and him catch him staring at you—sometimes it's the most random, menial moments like when you're tying your shoes, brushing something off your shirt, or just generally zoning out.
And he finds himself just wondering... "How did I get so lucky?"
He'll ask your friends for advice on the little things—like favorite snacks or colors because he's extremely determined to get everything right. He wants to.
If you're cooking, brushing your teeth, standing in line just tryna be yourself? There is a very high chance that he'll come up behind you and hug you, his face in the back of your neck like you're his home. Because you are. He does that particularly often when he's tired or flustered.
Protective or jealous?
Hanta trusts you completely, but he isn't oblivious. If someone's clearly pushing your boundaries, he'll slip an arm around your waist and smile at the person like, "Yeah, no." He doesn't want to fight—but he will speak up, especially for those he cares about, whether it's friends, classmates, or you. "Hey man. You're getting a little too close, yeah?"
There are times where, after a rough day, or in certain situations, if you flirt (even unintentionally), he won't accuse or lash out—but it'll stick with him for the rest of the day. He'll still hug you, and smile, but he'll be a bit quieter. And the next time you're alone, he'll be extra clingy. He wants reassurance in cuddles, soft kisses, and "I love you"s. Particularly through your actions.
🛏️Cuddles?
Yes.
Blanket forts, sleepy tangles of limbs, slow mornings where he won't let you leave the bed just yet—he's happiest when you're in his arms. He likes to trace lazy circles on your back or kiss the crown of your head while you talk about your day.
Overall, Hanta is an angel. Whether it's the little Spanish nicknames, or just remembering the smallest of facts about you—he is there. Always.
