Hi. Last one, I promise.
What kind of cuddler do you think Pidge is with each of his team mates?
Answering the asks by order of how easy they are to type out It's going to be ordered by how likely Pidge is to cuddle/be touchy with the team
My thoughts are long and this still isn't all of it, read more under the cut!
Hunk
Pidge NEVER stopped being touchy with Hunk, at least in private. The size difference between the two often leads to Pidge actively climbing, dangling, or otherwise just draped over Hunk because he can, and it's just habit for both of them and that's pretty much every time they're resting together or if they're in the hangar trying to get things fixed
Lance
After working under Wade both Pidge and Lance had some distance between each other because Lance's acting was just THAT good. Pidge had always been emotionally driven as a kid and not only was he already devastated by the loss of his entire livelihood, but he had to pretend he hated some of the people he cares about most just to make sure they could keep existing peacefully. He knew better, but it still hurt seeing Lance look at him with malice or like he never mattered. While at the Garrison (in private), at most they'd just lean on each other or be brave enough to still playfully hit each other if the situation lent to it. Once they're back home though, both of them start relaxing again, and you'll often see Lance physically messing with Pidge like an older brother would. Pidge in return just rag dolls on him more often. If anything they're more prone to comedic violence
Allura
This is where things get iffy Keith had essentially drilled into Pidge since he was young that he ought to treat Allura with the upmost respect. The only part of that Pidge ACTUALLY internalized was when dealing with her personal space. He and Allura share a sibling bond and are often arguing over little things just because they can. What he won't do is be overly physical with her the way he is with Lance and Hunk. Allura thinks that's some hot BS and usually takes it upon herself to dangle Pidge in her arms (there's a serious height difference) or otherwise handle him like he was some kind of purse dog. Pidge accepts his fate as plaything but won't reciprocate unless they're fighting over an object or Pidge becomes the victim of Allura's romantic woes (he does not need to hear episode 35 of Keith being a shit boyfriend) Pidge is more prone to falling asleep in her arms (as that's where she likes him most) usually when she's sitting behind him, and they're talking about whatever comes to mind. Normally topics are boring bureaucratic stuff since Pidge is often wrapped into her work as well due to his technical skills Though if you really can't find Pidge or Allura, chances are they're in her room napping on her bed or otherwise using it as some sort of hang out because everyone else (minus Larmina) thinks it's some impenetrable fortress
Keith
Pidge doesn't touch Keith anymore. Honestly they barely speak outside of mission related business, at least without anyone else to help buffer the convo. Keith was very much who Pidge looked up to the most when he was young because they were the same, Pidge was just an unpolished version of Keith. It didn't help that Keith took it upon himself to try and instill good morals and values into Pidge by essentially taking on a responsible parent role (compared to Lance and Hunk letting him mess around until he got himself into trouble). When Keith came back it was weird. They recognized each other, but there was such a big difference that it felt like they were looking at completely new people. Keith couldn't treat him like a kid anymore because Pidge hadn't been for years at that point, and Pidge couldn't see him as the goofy leader with his heart on his sleeve because Keith stopped being both the second he went solo (everyone agreed it was their best shot, but Keith left before they could actually make a plan). There are no cuddles between them, there's barely even any familiarity. At most Keith will place a hand on Pidge's shoulder, or Pidge will tap Keith for his attention if he isn't listening.
Honorable Mention: Larmina
Pre-Galaxy Victory Celebration, Larmina was living with the team at the castle and took on the annoying little sister role that everyone would care for. You'd often see her with Pidge or Hunk, she got along with Hunk the best (as always) but Pidge was a kid just like her, and they understood each other best. They were practically inseparable, and the relationship Pidge now has with Allura was what he had with Larmina except he didn't care about her personal space as much as was often bullying her just because he could. He even trained her to be a ninja! She might not say it aloud, but it's her favorite fighting style because she cares about the person who taught it to her so much. You could often find Pidge carrying a sleeping Larmina because she has an iron grip and refused to leave him presence. On rare occasions they'd slept leaning on each other after a day of just being kids with Pidge's friends. After The Incident, Larmina felt like she lost everything, but especially Pidge. She thought they were so alike, but he ultimately treated her the same way the adults in their lives treated the BOTH of them, and she never forgave him for it. They don't touch anymore unless they're training (gotta keep up the ninja skills with another ninja opponent), and when they talk Larmina is damn near spitting venom at him and Pidge chooses to take it because he feels like he has to.
The other cadets are too new for Pidge to consider any kind of cuddles. Except at Daniel doesn't really care and will treat him his age and roughhouse with him. You'll never catch Vince doing that lol. Don't even ask about Coran, Pidge still holds a grudge against him because of what he led to.
