I can’t help but think Ryland and Simon have very different ways of showing affection.
Ryland prefers to be more casual. He enjoys brushing against Simon as he walks past and he likes holding hands. He’s a hugger. Very much enjoys parallel play.
Simon clings. He likes to wrap his arms around Ryland as he works and buries his face in his shoulder. He is very fond of tucking a hand under Ryland’s shirt just to feel his warmth.
Sort of like Ryland likes his personal space and Simon also likes Ryland’s personal space. The exception is Ryland also likes Simon in his personal space.
