Hope you enjoy! Feel free to request anything you want!
Love ya!
Kremy Lecroux:
Always tries to make cuddling look like it was your idea, not his
Very still once settled, like heâs conserving energy (or pretending he isnât enjoying it)
Will casually adjust your position like heâs optimizing a business deal, not affection
Heâs cold. Like, noticeably reptile-cold. You will eventually start stealing his cloak or regretting your choices
Extremely steady, doesnât fidget, and somehow makes the whole situation feel oddly safe
Score: 7/10 (loses points for temperature, gains points for accidental emotional stability)
Gideon Coal:
Starts a little stiff, but not uncomfortableâmore like heâs unsure how to âdoâ closeness properly
Doesnât initiate, but immediately settles once youâre leaning on him and subtly adjusts so youâre more comfortable
Over time he relaxes in small ways: less tension in his shoulders, steadier breathing, leaning in just slightly without realizing it
If you fall asleep on him, he stays very still out of care, not duty, like he doesnât want to disturb you
Protective instinct is always there, but it comes through as calm watchfulness rather than intensity
Score: 9/10 (very grounding and gentle once he relaxes, only loses a point because heâs still a bit reserved at first)
Gricko Grimgrin:
Immediately attaches himself to you in some unpredictable angle and stays there
Talks constantly, then suddenly goes quiet mid-cuddle because he forgot what he was saying
Treats personal space like a myth invented by people who donât cuddle enough
If you move even slightly, assumes catastrophic abandonment and clings harder
Zero spatial awareness, occasionally makes it hard to breathe or move
Extremely affectionate, very emotionally transparent, makes you feel wanted at all times
Score: 9/10 (would be 10 if he understood ânot suffocating youâ as a concept)
Moring Frost:
Positions himself behind or slightly beside you rather than directly on top of you
One arm loosely around you like a safety measure, not restriction
Rarely speaks, but always seems alert enough that you donât have to be
Instinctively adjusts to block cold, noise, or intrusion without being asked
Not very physically âcuddlyâ in a traditional senseâmore like being guarded than hugged
Deeply grounding presence, makes you feel protected without effort
Score: 8/10 (loses some points for emotional distance, gains them for pure safety energy)
Torbek:
Starts off hesitant, hovering near you like heâs not sure heâs allowed to be there
Slowly relaxes into contact if you donât move away, usually staying very still afterward
Tends to hold onto sleeves, edges of clothing, or sit just at the boundary of touch
Clearly overthinks the entire situation but clearly enjoys it
Nervous energy can make him a bit stiff and unsure at first
Very gentle, very earnest, and clearly values every second of closeness
Score: 7.5/10 (soft and sincere, just needs confidence updates)
Hootsie:
Treats closeness as instinct rather than conceptâif youâre safe, sheâs there
Naturally drapes herself over or beside you with heavy, grounding weight
Makes soft, content noises and adjusts her position based on comfort rather than awareness
Reacts instantly if anything feels threatening, becoming protective without hesitation
Can be a lot of weight and space if youâre not expecting a full owlbear situation
Unmatched warmth, extremely comforting presence, very protective without asking anything back
Defo making biscuts on you like a cat
Score: 9/10 (basically a living weighted blanket with instincts)
Alright and there it is! I hope you enjoyed it and if you have any notes please do let me know, I love getting feedback. And requests! So if you have any please don't be shy!
