(Ahhhhh I got another request for the “main three” as well–would that be Allen, Kanda, and Lavi? I will answer this ask as such but if you wanted different characters please send in the request again with the specification. Also I just spent nearly 50 minutes going through my blog because I swear I’ve done a request like this before, but I couldn’t find it. I’ll just…I’ll do it anyway but if I have done it before, the headcanons may or may not be a bit different because I can’t remember! Curse my poor memory…)
Allen says it completely by accident–it was a total slip! he still meant it, though.
He flounders a bit when he realizes what he’s said. His face is really red and his hands are waving about dangerously as rambles on about how he meant what he said but that you don’t have to reply or say it back, he understands if it’s too early!
He’s so embarrassed yet…so relieved. Saying it out loud makes it feel so real. There was a time where he thought he wouldn’t have the chance to say this to anyone.
He’s so sweet and sincere. Put him out of his misery, tell him you love him too. Please. He needs it.
Kanda takes his good old time telling you that he loves you, and honestly, he probably says it only after you do. He definitely wouldn’t say it on his own accord.
Up until then, he had preferred to show his feeling through actions–not even necessarily romantic affections. He’d go out of his way to give you tips on fighting and technique, he’d bring you food if he hadn’t seen you for a while. He offers to turn in your mission report if he’s heading over that way. Simple stuff like that.
He probably is also quite…afraid of confessing his feelings to you. He’s a closed off guy, he isn’t good at being open and vulnerable. Only after he hears it from you does he get the courage to tell you.
Even then, though, it’s soft, quiet, barely a whisper. Sort and simple, “…love you, too.” Or, Hell, he might even go for the “me too”.
Lavi’s is a relieved confession, a admittance for only your ears. He says it with a content sigh, his head in his hand while he looks down at you, laying in the bed next to him.
He is absolutely aware of what he said. You already knew that you were incredibly special to him, because he told you as much when he asked you out. While the words “i love you” hadn’t left his lips when he first approached you about it, it carried as much impact as if he would have.
So it’s not like it’s big news to you or anything, but that genuine smile on his face and the twinkle in his eye is enough to get to your heart and turn your ears pink.
During this moment, behind closed doors, he’s much more genuine. Much sweeter, much realer. This is a side of him only you get to see. So when he ducks his head down to give your reddening face a bunch of kisses, you can’t help but soak up all the attention, and feel a sense of pride in being able to crack open this Bookman-in-training’s strong armor and get to hold his soft and fragile heart.
