Void Bois Dating Aroace Partner

So this was random inspiration.

I kinda wanted to dedicate a post to people that are Aroace, Aromantic, Asexual or just in the spectrum in general. I did my best to make it vague so you could insert your identity into it more easily.

Honestly it took me a very long time to realize I was aroace, mostly because of the environment I grew up in (more or else hypersexualized) where at some point in my life I was expected to get a boyfriend, fuck, see how great sex is, and have kids. It took me a while to learn about the LGBT community, and longer to learn that I fell into the aroace category.

So, more or less to honor those to feel somewhat similar to how I feel. I made this, I'll make the gals soon enough! Honestly, I'm not sure if I even properly described the feelings or thoughts being on the spectrum, but I guess its something you have to feel for yourself to know.

Anyway, enjoy!

Cho'Gath

Cho'Gath isn't exactly what you'd call romantic to begin with.

Falling in love with you just kinda- happened for him because you stuck around him.

He was positive he could never feel love, and yet you proved him wrong.

So how you act with him in terms of a romantic partner or a relationship in general he didn't question it.

He also didn't socialize or cared about this world enough to try and learn the customs or "traditions" of your species to get that you're not "normal".

Honestly it wasn't normal that you wanted to be with him when he stated you were going to be his mate, and you accepted without fuss.

But that's about the extent of what he knew and cared about.

So when you suddenly brought up your insecurities about making him feel unloved, he was fucking confused.

Apparently, times when you aren't with him and around members of your species you've grown self-conscience of how you choose to love him.

That you don't experience the feelings they feel when talking about their partners, or do things that couples are "supposed" to do.

That you feel guilty for...not properly loving him, that you feel broken for it.

If he didn't care about you as much as he does, he would have left you just to devour that entire region that instilled those doubts into you immediately.

If its the norm that mates are supposed to feel this particular emotion always, that they must do these rituals to show their devotion always. Consider him just as "broken" as you are.

All the proof he needs that you love him, and that he loves you. Is the fact you both choose to be together, and you both define it as being mates. Nothing else.

Kha'Zix

Kha'Zix never expected himself to get a mate, even as he evolved and changed from his original programming as a Voidborn.

He was dedicated- borderline obsessive over becoming the apex predator he didn't think about it.

You basically changed that for him, to the point he's also obsessed with you.

He made an effort to learn your species' customs for relationships just so he'd make it work, and to be a better partner to you.

Even if much of it didn't entirely make much sense, like having holidays to specifically get gifts for your partner. Wouldn't that be an every day occurrence?

But if its something expected and it'll make you happy, he'll go along with it in his own way.

He didn't exactly realize this was making you feel guilty and self-conscience of your feelings towards him.

He was following examples he's observed and learned from your kind, as well as things you like or usually do.

So when you eventually opened up to him, saying that you feel undeserving of him and guilty for not being able to reciprocate the feelings and effort he does- it surprised him.

It kinda hurt that he ended up doing the opposite for you.

Apparently, you're considered an outlier of your species, that you don't get these attractions or feelings of romance or sex. You didn't understand why your own species does these things, what classifies it as romantic or platonic.

Feeling scared that you won't satisfy his desires, or return those feelings he has for you because you're broken.

He'll comfort, keeping you close as he reassures you that you are not.

You're his first mate, and hopefully the last he will ever have. He just wanted to make sure he was doing things right. Because you're everything he wants and needs.

Even if you don't feel the exact things he feels for you, the fact you want to be with him despite it is enough. You shouldn't have to force yourself to satisfy him.

Vel'Koz

Honestly, Vel'Koz might be considered the same as you are.

Perhaps it has to do with how he was specifically made that he feels very little to no romantic or sexual attraction to others.

And probably because of that, you didn't really feel self-conscience with him about your feelings towards him.

The relationship did start off purely out of curiosity and wanting to study your species further passed the biological understandings.

But he grew attached to you, and frankly he can't imagine his life without you there now.

He can't say its romantic, much less sexual attraction to you. He has nothing that would provide that would benefit your species' in terms of a 'relationship'.

Its genuinely hard for him to explain or describe what he feels towards you other than he just...wants you with him. More than just a friend.

If anything, he is the one to bring up the topic. Because he felt out of place with your dynamic.

Even if you struggled to explain it properly yourself, you both understood each other when you expressed the same feelings.

You confessed to feeling some insecurities with it as well, but not as significant as others because you felt like he'd understand- to which you were right about.

Your relationship isn't normal to begin with, a minority would actually wish to be with a Voidborn or someone outside of their species in general.

So why should it be confined to the majority's standards of a relationship, when it should only matter to those in said relationship?

But that doesn't mean he isn't oppose to trying anything relating to couples, especially in the mating department. Much like you.

Though for him, it'll always be accompanied with studying and learning more about you, your species and the emotions behind it.
