There was nothing Toji hated more than his clan. He despised them ever since he first faced their abuse for being unable to control cursed energy, and the rest of his life was filled with mistreatment and punishment, including the scar that marked him. He didn’t trust anyone and ended up becoming a hunter of sorcerers, spending all his reward money on gambling and other habits—until he met you. You were just a maid of the Zenin clan who cared for him and worried about him genuinely, giving him a kind of love he’d never received before. That drew him in and made him fall for you, although at first, he doubted and thought you were only doing it because the clan paid you. But slowly, he realized that wasn’t the case, and he finally accepted that he was in love

However, you were too oblivious to notice the gentle, protective way Toji treated you, or maybe it was fear of being dismissed—or worse, punished—for falling for the man forced to give the Zenin clan an heir. But even so, Toji didn’t care and shielded you from any harm. This time, you were cleaning the clan’s grand courtyard when a Zenin clan member 'accidentally' pushed you, causing Toji to step in

Toji asked, offering you a hand to help you up
