AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA PLEASE write for Denki and/or Hizashi with an s/o that really loves painting (and maybe paints them??) thank you so much dear!!
He isn’t artistic…at all. He can’t draw or paint worth a shit, and when he’s tried in the past people always laugh at how bad it is so he got discouraged and now doesn’t draw at all unless he’s intentionally trying to be funny about something
Which is why he thinks the fact that his s/o has some artistic talent – in addition to years of hard practice, of course – is really awesome
He’s always showing off your artwork to other people! “Yo! Did you see this painting (y/n) did?! It’s so good, right?”
He’s really encouraging, and though you offer to help him learn to draw he usually turns you down because he’s embarrassed by how bad his own art is and doesn’t want you to see
One day he finds your sketchbook while you’re away or out of the room for a minute and he’s curious so he starts flipping through pages until he comes to…a portrait of himself
It looked like it was drawn while he was either at lunch or in class, drawn from behind so he didn’t realize what was happening
It was really good! Like, so good. But it didn’t look so much like a photo, the sketchy exploratory lines you made before committing to more defined areas made him look almost in motion, like he was in the middle of laughing on the page
When you came back he quickly shuts the sketchbook but not before you notice he was looking at it
“Were you looking at my sketchbook?” “Don’t be mad! I saw the art you made of me and…woah, it’s so good!!!!”
He’s just so excited and flattered that you’d draw him that he wants to actually pose for one, even though he has a hard time staying still for more than five minutes
After a week of him sitting for you he takes the drawing and keeps it in his room because he thinks it’s flattering as hell and wants everyone to know you drew it
Hizashi:
Even though he’s a pretty creative guy and enjoys looking at art, he can’t really draw or paint at all. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t try, though! He just goes towards loud and abstract art – bright colors, bold shapes and lines, etc.
He thinks it’s RAAAAAAAD AS HELL that his s/o can draw and paint well and WILL scream about it to anyone within earshot (which is pretty far for him)
Even though he can’t draw realistically very well you still encourage him and he’ll paint along with you, though his finished product is drastically different from yours
During class sometimes he’ll just pull out some of your drawings or paintings and show his students and everyone already knows they can draw but they don’t risk saying anything for fear of being reprimanded or their eardrums blown out
One day you’re making dinner for the two of you at your place and he gets nosy and wanders into the room he knows is a painting/art studio
Well, what he doesn’t expect to see a canvas staring back at him of himself, and he’s honestly stunned
It’s obviously him, but the colors are bold and the strokes are confident and everything looks like it’s in motion, like it could jump right off the stretched piece of fabric at him
So he yells…and hears you break something in the kitchen
It was so startling – though you should be used to his voice by now, honestly – that you dropped a glass. Rushing in he helps you pick it up while also gushing about the painting he found
At first you’re embarrassed, said that he wasn’t supposed to see it yet since it was going to be a gift later, but he doesn’t care and says it’s rad as hell just the way it is
Eventually you DO finish the painting – the changes are subtle and Hizashi doesn’t notice – and give it to him as a birthday present but he fought you the whole time wanting to take it home as soon as he saw it
