you have to forgive the printer because it's one of the most machine-ass machines we interact with on a day to day basis. that thing says kerchunk. hardly anything says kerchunk these days. you can't get mad at her when she kerchunks up a little.

Crazy that tech has gotten so bad that we're doing printer forgiveness now

GAH THE TOUCHY!READER W DEX IS SOOOO CUTE got me giggling and kicking my feet in public. it makes me think + taking it a step further how CLINGY dex gets after the established relationship like that man is touch starved to Hell. lowkey i think as long as we’re around he’d need to have some part of his body attached to ours. cooking? you know he’s behind you. brushing teeth? his chin is on your shoulder. in public? no idea actually. i need to know your thoughts!!!!!! such a big fan of ur work <33

Hiiiii!!! Omg screaming I love this idea and this whole dynamic, and thankyou my honeybun!!! Like hello ily!!!!

I think the touch starvation is integral to his character, and honestly a part of Dex that I think a lot of people sometimes forget is probably HEAVILY prominent in his life. Especially after he’s found you? It’s like a gnawing animal, always there inside of him, that intense need.

And you’d be correct. Distance is torture for him, proximity is what lets him know things are okay. His world that he’s created isn’t crashing and burning and he can tell the mulling thoughts they have no place to stay. Cause he can shut everything off when he’s around you.

You knew very early on that this was going to be the case.

You knew it when you’d take a bath and he’d ask to come with you. And you’d say yes, going through all of the emotions at the idea of doing something so intimate despite the fact that he’d been inside of you ten minutes ago.

Except Dex didn’t get in the bath, and when you turned to look at him while you stripped as he sat himself on the floor with his back to the tub - he just batted his blonde lashes like nothing was abnormal about it.

“You didn’t wanna get in?” You’d ask as he checks the temperature of the water, turns it off when the tub threatens to overflow. He hates the potential mess it might make, but you like the water high.

You pretend not to watch how his biceps flex under the fabric of his shirt.

“I already took a shower. Just gonna sit here with you.”

And he’d do exactly that, except your hand is out of the tub and he’s been tracing circles over your wrist and palm while you talk about you day with a calloused thumb.

And that one hand hasn’t touched the water once since you got in because he knew it would be occupied by his the whole time.

In public, it’s hard for Dex not to over do it.

Luckily, you’re also really keen on touching, but he does tend to manhandle you.

He’ll walk you through a parking lot with an arm looped around you and pull you close to his side anytime someone walks too close or a car doesn’t slow down enough - sometimes it gets really stressful for him. Because it’s not a conscious thing most of the time, it’s built into him and his hyper vigilance can be intense for everyone involved.

He’s a big fan of holding onto your belt loop, not only does it keep you close but it also doesn’t limit your mobility as much as it would with his arm around you while you’re trying to grab items off of shelves.

(Of course he grabs top shelf items)

By the time you two get home, he’s already feeling the weight of not being able to be a freak weirdo who wants to melt into his partners flesh.

And the thing is, he doesn’t have to pretend with you. He understood that a long time ago, and you made sure to create a space that made him feel like it’s okay to ask for what he needs. That sometimes he doesn’t have to ask at all.

I think he’d be the type to come up behind you, in an effectively knee buckling embrace with his mouth nuzzled in the crook of your neck and his entire front pressed to the back of you. Biceps curled around your frame and thick forearms around the softness over your ribs.

And it would be random, maybe you’re cooking or doing the dishes or perhaps just changing the channel on the television in the living room.

He nuzzles you, scruff against your cheek and then your neck and shoulder, his tongue peeks out just a little whenever he feels skin. Otherwise it’s like he’s scenting you, just feeling you against him. Sensory wise it’s a very enjoyable experience.

And yes I think Dex is a freak but that’s also why sometimes he’ll touch you like this and it’s completely non sexual. It’s always an even toss up, because more than likely if it goes on and you keep sighing all pretty lie that then yeah his dick is gonna get hard.

But it’s like his body and mind wants to make up for lost time. For all the years, decades he’d searched and you never found eachother.

And now he has you? You’re his? Sometimes he just doesn’t know what to do with all of it, the adoration and aching want and desperation. And he wants a physical reminder, the scent of you in him and your skin against his fingers and the weight of you in his shirt.

You’d reach around to scratch at his scalp, surrender to his embrace and let yourself relax into it. He’ll never know how truly safe it feels to be held by him. You often wonder if your touch compares.

(It does, hello? He’s in shambles)

“Needy.” Is all you say, light and amused and content. And now he’s sort of just rocking you both in place, almost imperceptibly so.

And you know he’s tired because he has no smart ass retort, no grunt of disapproval at your calling him out. No uncharacteristic shyness about the words and their truth. When you turn around and throw your arms around his neck and get so close he can feel every curve and divot of your frame - he could really perish that moment and be okay with it.

It’s always like this. Intense emotions and heat stricken dizziness. He can’t ever find the balance, without you and he’s nothing and with you he has everything good and healing and sanctifying.

It’s one of the only things that can choke him up.

And so that night, you hold him like something sweet and innocent. This is familiar, routine and even if he can’t fall asleep he’ll lie there on top of you holding your body with your around his shoulders snd his head tucked underneath your neck and it’s perfect. His favorite part of the day.

Dex would literally let you hold him like a baby snd loooove it. Big bad bullseye like okay bye

gifmakers in the year 2026 are god's strongest soldiers. could be channelling this creativity and these ideas into fanvids with the potential to go viral on tiktok or get shared by the artist. alas I am still here posting on the website most of the world assumes is dead and for users who half the time won't even reblog if they enjoy it 👍
