hello! I'm sorry if this is written wrong, I'm using a translator and I'm also pretty bad at Tumbrl! Could I ask for some headcanons hugging kei negai from the Ajin demi human manga? if you know him of course Thanks!
*You have to be very close to Kei for him to even think about hugging, or even just accepting one
*If you're not close enough then he's more than likely just going to straight up push you off and ask what you think you're doing. If you are close enough, however, then how he reacts will vary on the situation
*In public he will act more exasperated but will make no move to push you away. He might even put a single arm against your back in reciprocation, but will still act as if it's a bother to do so. It's more out of embarrassment than anything. It's not that he's embarrassed OF you, more just the thought of being seen in a vulnerable way
*In an ideal situation Kei prefers any vulnerable state to be in private, whether it is platonic or romantic. Even in private he's not typically one to intitiate any sort of affection
*Unless he's emotionally compromised. Like after losing someone or possibly after he found out he was an ajin if you knew him at that point
*Physical affection isn't something he seems to be very familiar with. Considering his sister and he are not very close and his mother seemed more concerned with his success than anything
*But in private he's more likely to let his guard down so any affection you wish to give him is best attempted then
*Kei's hugs can vary depending on the situation and his own feelings
*If it's more casual, his arms will be looser and he'll likely use a hand to rub your back, with his chin resting upon your shoulder. It's a peaceful moment for him, comforting and safe. Sometimes he feels that an embrace with someone he finds close enough to be so vulnerable is a good moment for him to think
*So even though he may act like he's frustrated with even the thought of being bothered by this, he enjoys it more than he let's on
*To get a more secure, firm hug it would have to be after a more stressful event. Also tends to be the situation he'd be more willing to accept or initiate in public spaces
*With fear and/or stress overtaking his mind is when he finds himself surging for you or finds himself yearning for you to come to him
*In either case both of his arms are firm against you, pulling you into him and fists clenched into your clothes
*Soft hugs are when he feels more internal peace but these are when he himself feels a need for comfort
*It starts physically. The longer you hold him the more his muscles relax and his breathing stablizes
*He doesn't initially care in this moment about the people around him, but the more he calms down then the more aware he becomes. Once he's in his right mind he'll slowly pull away, eyes downcast and hands back at his side
I apologize if anything is worded strangely. I'm very tired but wanted to get this out for you 💝 Please feel free to request more if you like. Ajin is actually one of my favorite anime (I haven't read the Manga but wish to eventually) And your request translated fine! I wish I knew other languages so I could communicate with a more widespread audience but I don't. 😭
