Ahhh your fanart of yb and malik in hoodie/sweater and squishing made me thing: they are very touchy-feely with each other. Yb likes putting a hand on malik's shoulder or leg as he talks, he'll thread his fingers through malik's hair as malik lays his head in his lap. Meanwhile malik MUST ALWAYS touch yb. He's playfully slapping his arm, he's hugging him, he's holding his hand. Just they are always touching in their own ways.
omg this is so cute sgsksg yes they deserve this ;_; okay i also have my bakumali cuddling HCs ig it's time to share them:
bakura is very clingy. Being a thiefy boy he is very possessive over what belongs to him. That’s what makes him unexpectedly affectionate like in the most random moments he would just go and hug malik. Malik would be watching tv or cutting his vegetables or reading something and bakura would just come out of the blue and hug him from behind or from the side and would like nuzzle his face into his hair or shirt. Almost like he can’t believe the luck he has in having the pretty boy all to himself. And with malik looking almost always top notch and gleamy and adorned with gold, bakura can’t resist to be all grabby for his treasure. THIS FANART on twitter showcases that mood perfectly! pls look at it i’m,,,, ;_; they are so cute
When malik has to leave and says he has to go bakura would still cling to him and it always takes some time to get him off of him. (The best way to remove him, malik figured, is to give him lots of kisses until bakura gets too distracted by them and malik can plan his escape but sometimes this escalates the situation and makes bakura even more grabby and touchy )
Malik is always more cautious over who touches him where (mostly because of his scars and his trust issues) but for bakura he’s like my body is free real estate ;)) And being the little brother he actually loves being cuddled (like you mentioned, he would rest his head on bakura’s lap and love it when bakura plays with his hair), but it just takes some time for him to admit it and bakura knows best how to make him yield.
When Malik touches bakura he always masks it as an excuse like “wait let me fix your shirt” or “your hair is a mess let me fix it” but his touches would be all lingering and soft and he’d almost unconsciously caress bakura’s cheeks whenever he is done fixing whatever excuse he used. And ofc he can’t resist stroking his fluffy hair
In his euphoric happy moments tho’, malik won’t give a damn abt anything anymore and he would just lunge at bakura, hugging him full force or just straight out jumping on him. He would even be as bold to do it in public places making bakura grumble like “didn’t you say you wanna be discreet in public?” and malik would be like “shut up and kiss me”. But only if the mood fits him. They bicker a lot even when cuddling as the old married couple that they are. Otherwise he’s always nagging Bakura about behaving more decently in the open (who actually doesn’t give a shit where they are he could always pda with malik)
THIS is what they look like when they are completely comfortable with each other in the open (i swear this artist has the best hc/drawings of them)
they are also pretty clingy and attached like two magnets when sleeping in bed. and both being pretty lithe they kind of fit into each other like ying and yang. they’d fall asleep in a cuddled position and wake up the next day still tangled up like that. for malik to let bakura touch and kiss his back is the biggest act of affection/devotion and the literal prove that he is finally comfortable/at peace with another person and this is why he’s mostly the lil spoon
Now talking abt them individually, they are both touch starved so they both go like !!! whenever smn touches them
Malik is only used to his siblings touching him, pampering him almost because he’s the baby brother (but that depends on what time we talk abt because during the time leading to battle city they weren’t really what i’d call an affectionate family poor bbs ;_; but i figure post canon they grew closer together ofc) but that’s exactly what makes him quite cautious whenever strangers put their hands on him. He thinks it’s some for of manipulation first before actually seeing it as affection. He’d lean more to be like “don’t touch me!” first, but once he’s sure there are no bad intentions behind it he’d almost give in completely feeling like he’s finally being treated like the princess he longs to be
Bakura is also completely touch starved (and if we have to mention tkb in this i hc that he, being older and all, had his share of experience back then but mostly for having short fun and nothing really that involved him emotionally/affectionately). bakura almost forgot what a human touch feels like so it makes him quite alert too when someone touches him. But he’d see a touch more like an invitation leading him to see it as some kind of deal= if you can touch me i can touch you. The thief in him makes him almost treat every situation like something he could profit from and he tries to see where he gets the benefit in it and if it’s really convenient for him. It’s quite funny to imagine how he’d react in a post-canon reality when he’s put in a situation where someone puts their hands on him.
wow this got long shdfghj i swear i could talk abt them for hours but thanks for the ask 🙋
