"You know if you ever need anything, you are welcome to ask me. I don't judge anyone that needs my help," Aiden said, looking up from the meal she was cooking. "I just would need you to not ask too many questions if I disappear for awhile. I have things that I need to take care of outside of the shop."
She wasn't sure how much she knew about the supernatural or the fact she was a witch. She figured she'd cover that one day. Though for now, she was happy to have the company every now and then.
Her furry companion, Daisy, barked, wanting a piece of the meal. "You can even take care of her while I'm gone. Makes it easier on me to not have to worry about her."
"She was huddled under the car at that parking lot, and I didn't want her to crawl up under for warmth. Then I waited around for the owner, and she's not theirs, so- I'm walking around and asking."
Sparrow sat on the other edge of the bench, so this young woman could also pet the cat. "You were my kinda last hope, now I dunno what to do."
When her sister offered to watch the kids so she could have a quiet break in the bookstore, Emma didn't have to think twice. Emma could always spend days surrounded by books.
Her eyes skimmed the shelf, completely engrossed in her task when she realized someone else was in the section she was in. As the woman looked at the cover, Emma debated speaking up before she gave in.
Ross was in pain....A LOT of pain. His skin was flushed as he was sweating heavily, steam visibly rising from his body.
It was Hell trying to control this thing in him....but when he was angry or stressed...
His bones hurt, everything hurt...it was like his body wanted to rip itself apart from the inside out. His raspy voice a whimper as he felt himself losing the fight.
Hi, thanks for sending this in! 💜 This question is really cute because of how I see them initially reacting (like some of them would be so shocked?? 😭). I included a few different muses because I feel like they're all sort of equal in their reasoning for why they want/need hugs (or affection in general, honestly).
Wants a Hug the Most (Top 3)
Loki of Asgard — Secretly
He really just wants someone to treat him as an equal (particularly those he looks up to and respects, such as his family). What really gets under his arrogant facade is when he's shown a genuine ounce of kindness (particularly even after one finds out about his Jotun heritage or the invasion of New York City and his time with Thanos). 🗽👑
Draco Malfoy — Secretly
Let's be honest, he's going to probably act like he hates it (or that he's apathetic about it). He doesn't hate it in reality; he has no idea how to handle it, at least the first few times until he gets used to the sensation. After that, he rather enjoys the attention, and although he might not always be public about it, you can guarantee he makes up for it in stolen private moments (Hogsmeade, the Astronomy Tower, out by the Quidditch pitch, etc.). Something tells me he wouldn't be opposed to sending a few secret admirer letters, either. 🫣💌
Steve Harrington — Openly
Despite his reputation as a jock and a flirt, once Steve has his heart set on someone, he can be very romantic and tends to wear his heart on his sleeve. This guy is affectionate with his partners, so he's usually open to a lot of physical contact (hugging, hand-holding, playing with hair, kissing, etc.). 🫂💘
Needs a Hug the Most (Top 3)
Billy Hargrove
Honestly, I don't think he's ever hugged anyone since his mother left. Maybe he's had a girlfriend fling or two that's been daring enough, although most of 'em let Billy make the first moves and take the lead due to his intimidating presence. 💪😤
Dean Winchester
He has taken on the weight of the world, quite literally. If someone goes to hug him, they should probably be close to him first (or at least deemed 'not a threat'). Dean would love the affectionate gesture once he warmed up to the person (and, hey, if they have beer or pie, all the better 🍻🥧).
Tony Stark
While he may not admit it, Tony needs a hug. As time went on, he became less publicly affectionate, which probably has something to do with those closest to him being targeted by enemies (among other personal struggles, of course). With that being said, underneath the playboy persona and the somewhat cocky attitude, Stark can be serious and tends to occasionally spoil his partner. 💎🏙
Walking down the cold damp streets in the pouring rain the vampire searched for somewhere to stay, it was nearly daylight and he preferred to be inside during those times. Having been taken by taxi so far he entered the motel, brushing some of the raindrops from his coat. Running a hand through his hair he approached the desk, giving his best charming smile. “Excuse me, need a room just for a little bit, I won’t be no trouble, unless you want me to be” he raised his eyebrow, a smile spreading across his face.
