I absolutely loved your headcanons—especially the one about how the LIs would react if the MC played a bad prank! I have an even cuter idea: how the LIs would sleep if the MC were sharing a bed with one of them—Leander, Vere, Ais, Kuras, or Mhin... I think that would be so sweet and adorable! 🤭 Take all the time you need—no pressure—I'll wait patiently! 💖Bye bye !

Took a hot minute to finish it but i did it! Thanks for the request 💗 I took the creative liberty in assuming that this request is asking how they would be like sharing a bed and not necessarily a one bed trope. Also the bed they’re sharing is their own beds.

Touchstarved LI x sharing their bed with gn!reader

Kuras: canonically does not need sleep, so if he’s sharing the same bed as you, he counts it towards quality time. He won’t talk much while you’re sharing the guest bed in his spare room, his back on the headboard and indulging himself in his nightly pulpy mystery novels while you sleep beside him. Long fingers would trace your hair, caressing your scalp in a comfortable rhythm that will easily lull you into sleep. If he isn’t, he’ll hold your hand in one hand and a book in the other. There won’t be a moment sleeping with the Angel where he won’t be touching you. Kuras might not seem like it but he’s quite touchy with people he likes. On cold nights he is like your personal heater. If cuddling, he is most times a big spoon just because of his size or you’ll be on top of him resting your head on his chest. When you do finally sleep he’ll blow the candle and slip away to his basement to continue his research. Sometimes he’ll just watch you sleeping before doing so.

Mhin: will take a moment to get used to sharing a bed with someone else. Might be overstimulated at first with every time you move or make a sound, to which they will make a snappy comment. The concept of sleep is already so foreign to them that adding you in their night time routine seems like throwing a wrench into their already fucked up sleep schedule. When they find out that having you helps with their sleep, Mhin doesn’t know how to feel. Prepare for very flustered mornings when they accidentally spooning you in their sleep. Overtime, they’d be more vocal with you sleeping in bed with them, and would wait for you to join them in bed before sleeping. You are now their uncertified sleeping therapist.

Leander: He is a little too comfortable with the idea of sharing a bed with you. Like it’s natural that you are sharing a bed with him. There’s a moment where he’s sitting on the edge of the bed expectantly, staring at you with his big beautiful green eyes and then he snaps out of it like he remembered this isn’t one of his escapades (old habits). The possibility of platonically sharing a bed is little to none in Leander’s eyes, unfortunately. Leander would try to give you space at first, because your comfort is his upmost priority! He can’t help himself to be flirtatious while sharing the bed, from being his usual flirty self to more small things like reaching over so you have more of the blanket on your side and comfortable (and maybe it’s just an excuse so he can stare at your face more closely). Leander is also nice to cuddle with, he runs warm second to Kuras and is like a nice muscly pillow. If you’re more of an introvert you might die sharing a bed with Leander, he could talk for hours without break sometimes. You will be humming and nodding along to his stories late into the night until your vision goes black.

Vere: the first thing that hits you while sharing a bed with him is the scent. The bed sheets smell fruity with hints of jasmine and sandalwood. Silk sheets and pillows and several layers of fluffy blankets. As a sleeping partner Vere would be very picky at first. There’s a specific process to his bedtime routine and so the first week you need to get accustomed to Vere’s habits. No, you are not going to step foot into his bed until you take a good bath and change into your nightwear. He will sigh dramatically like you are just so hopeless without him. He likes to keep his bed clean and look pretty, like him. Vere can be quite touchy Monster. He likes your attention when it’s convenient for him and so would spoon you, his tail curling around your legs and his nose in the crook of your neck drinking in your scent. Secretly likes having your scent on his sheets and smelling himself on you when he’s out.

Ais: he has no problem sharing a bed with you, so long as you don’t have a problem sharing a bed with him. Ais is a restless sleeper. Accidentally kicks you off the bed. He snores, some days are better than others. Ais has the tendency of wanting to hold things while he’s asleep. Once you’re in his strong arms, it’s nearly impossible for you to leave unless you can wake him up. Also, 99% of the time Princess is in the bed with him. It’s non-negotiable. You don’t want Princess on the bed? He’ll let you borrow a futon in the storage. He’s a deep sleeper; can sleep through thunderstorms and blaring sirens, but will wake up if you leave the bed. He talks in his sleep. He might respond back to you, but sometimes you don’t know it’s him or…something else. Has weird visions and dreams that he may or may not remember in the morning.

Touchstarved Head Canons (No. 1)

How the LI's are with insects.

Word Count: 1613

Notes:

➢ GN reader

➢ Use of "MC" and "reader"

➢ Also, I'm actually scared of mischaracterizing, but hopefully I did them right. Lemme know what you think!

A/N: All the characters belong to Touchstarved by @redspringstudio. Highly recommend checking the game out if you haven't already, it's SO good! You can find the demo for free on itch.io or steam.

Ais

Really can’t be bothered with them.

He already views most humans as inconsequential, nevermind a lifeform that’s no bigger than his finger tip.

They’re all over the place all the time so he’s not gonna go out of his way to kill a bug.

If he notices one crawling on him, he’ll simply flick it off.

If there’s a spider chilling in the corner of his room, he’ll always forget to kill it because that’s how little they mean to him.

Doesn’t even blink at the venomous ones.

If MC is TERRIFIED of insects:

He will tease you for it.

The fear of insects/arachnids really needs to be studied.

It’s just another reminder of how distant he is from the human race.

If you ask him to kill a bug, he will oblige but not without a sarcastic remark.

“I believe this is the fourth time I’ve come to your rescue.  Maybe it’s you who owes me a drink.”

If MC loves insects and insists on saving them:

He finds it equally amusing but develops a curiosity about such meaningless pacifism.

“Look.  Isn’t this beetle so pretty?”

He watches the iridescent insect gleam against your palm, but can only wonder why such an ephemeral thing can make you smile.

Maybe the way you feel about that beetle is the way he feels about you.

No.  That’s not quite right.

You probably don’t think about insects as much as he thinks about you.

Or writes about you.

Suddenly bugs become a thing of interest to him because he always wonders what you would say whenever he sees one.

Kuras

He doesn’t mind them.

So long as they stay outside.

He won’t allow them in his clinic.

He’s wary of infestations, so whenever he spots one in his room or lab, he’ll release it outside.

Or he tries to.  It’s not always that easy.

I feel like he still wouldn’t resort to violence even if it’s just a fragile insect.

Maybe these small deeds would count towards some greater repentance.

He can’t exactly delude himself into believing that, but it’s a nice thought.

Regardless, he doesn’t like killing bugs because it also makes a mess.

He dislikes cobwebs.  They make dusting a pain in the ass.

He’s similar to Ais in the sense that he’s curious as to why humans make such a big deal out of them.

Especially when they make insects into jewelry or preserve their bodies for display.

If MC is scared of them:

He won’t make fun of you, but would definitely study your reactions.

He delays in getting rid of it because he secretly enjoys you latching onto his coat.

“Where did you see it again?”

“Bro, it’s literally right there.”  You frantically gesture to the wall from behind him.  “Hurry up and kill it already!”

If MC loves and insists on saving them:

He’ll like you just a little bit more.

Humans who value the lives of things, no matter how little, are endearing to him.

He thinks it’s cute whenever you drop to your knees to get a closer look at the butterflies and bees in the flowerbeds by the canal.

Leander

He sees bugs around the Wet Wick a lot, so he doesn’t care too much about them.

Will usually squish them because that’s easier than trying to catch and dump them outside.

As someone who helps to clean out the tavern, he’s not the biggest fan of cobwebs either.

He would kinda like butterflies.  Or he would enjoy making projections of them with his magic to entertain the crowds.

Overall, he’s a big guy so he doesn’t see the logic in being scared of bugs.

Unless.

Unless it's one particular type that he can’t stand.

So when you grab his sleeve and say, “Please help.  There’s something crawling under my desk…”

He reassures you that he’ll take care of it with that dazzling smile, and lets you pull him upstairs (assuming that it’s a spider or mouse).

He pulls out the chair, but when he spots the small dark lump on the floor, you sense the change immediately.

It was subtle–the perk in his shoulders and a flash of something unfamiliar in his green eyes.  His smile doesn't drop, but there's a twitch.

Because right there on your bedroom floor is a cockroach.

“Leander?”

He’s already backing out the door.

“You know, Raul’s (the bartender) actually the one who deals with this stuff.  I’ll go get him right now.”

“My hero.”

So, yeah.

Ask him to take care of anything–spiders, rats, flies, wasps–just not roaches.

If those things start flying, he’s skedaddling.

He will even call Mhin if no one else is around to take care of the problem.  (I can just imagine their reaction: “Grown ass man btw”).

He gets teased endlessly by the other hounds but will deny his fear like his life depends on it.

His ego will especially take a beating if you’re the one making fun of him.

If you insist on freeing the cockroach, he won’t say it, but he’ll think you’re strange.  He can understand from a practical standpoint, because a dead roach brings more, but if you want to save it simply because, that’s a little weird.  Nevertheless, he’ll be happy that it’s gone.

Now, if you’re also like that with other insects, he’ll find it adorable.  And he will do anything to protect that pure piece of you from this vile world.

Mhin

They find most insects disgusting.

There are some exceptions.  I think that they would love moths.  The bigger ones with colorful wings.  Like the Rosy Maple or Luna moth.  They only ever read about these types in books, but it would be cool to actually see one.

Other than mantises, butterflies, moths, and ladybugs, they don’t like bugs.

These organisms aren’t as interesting to study as soulless are, so there’s no point in bothering with them.

Mhin doesn’t enjoy killing them, either.  The squish of their guts under their boot gives them the shivers.

They are slightly scared of roaches.  Not Leander-level scared to the point where they can’t even be in the same room as one, but more hesitant to approach.  The same story with big spiders.

But as soon as Mhin reminds themself that they kill man-eating creatures for a living, they get over their anxiety pretty fast.

If MC fears insects:

They will scoff about it and taunt you a little.

“Why does it seem like you’re more scared now than when that soulless was about to snap off your head?”

Ultimately after some begging, they kill the bug for you.

They act like it’s some big inconvenience whenever you ask this of them, but inwardly, they’re happy to be the strong, reliable one.

It will give them an ego boost if you’re taller than them yet still afraid.

If MC loves and wants to save them:

They’re slightly confused by your behavior at first.

What could possibly be cute about something that can crawl into your ear while you sleep?

But slowly, they start to appreciate insects more.

It’s really cute to think about you being the one to introduce Mhin to the different types of moths.

They pick up your habit of saving bugs with tissues instead of outright killing them.

Even when by themself, they like to think that they’re making you happy by doing that.

Vere

HATES insects, and doesn’t care about them at all.

He developed a strong distaste for them while being trapped in his cell.  

The start of his imprisonment was especially wretched.  The room was cold, dark, and dusty.  There was no furniture at all (with the only exception being a bucket for him to do his business in).  He was forced to sleep on the floor.  Withholding minimal comfort served as the Senobium’s incentive for him to behave and do good work for them.  

Among all, he will never forget about the pests he had to deal with.  How many rodent necks he had to snap (and ate because he was malnourished).  The sheer amount of roaches and spiders that would crawl over his face while he slept.  Or when they burrowed in his tail.  He was always shaking something out of his hair when morning arrived.

So he really can’t stand bugs at all.

Even if they’re not much of a problem anymore, the sight of even one in his room can stir up a visceral reaction in his body.

Given how his appearance is one of few things he has control over, he’s horrified at the thought of getting them in his hair and tail.

It’s not like he’s scared of them, per se, just grossed out.

While he thrives off of violence, he doesn’t take pleasure in killing them.  Why do they have to exist?  Why can’t they mind their own business?

I feel like instead of stepping on them, he would prefer stabbing them.

If MC also hates them:

Kindred spirits.

He will still make fun of you if you freak out around him, but on some level, he will also understand.

If you’re the type who doesn’t mind killing them, he will cozy up to you.  You may feel his silky tail swipe your jaw as he tells you that there’s a spider he wants you to take care of.

If MC prefers saving them:

Uhm, why??

Not only does he not understand, but he finds it incredibly moronic.

“If there’s any pitiful lifeform fit to die, it would be insects.”

He will probably laugh in your face while killing one.

“But what if he had a family?”

“I would kill them all, too.”
