rudemtnlsbn asked an interesting question to yyhfanfiction about hands and how Kurama himself would feel about SFW hand-play (or how Kurama would feel about his hand being touched). I wanted to think about this and so I’m gonna throw in my two cents into the mix. Will focus on main four for now, then tomorrow I’ll have the girls in a part 2, and other characters in part 3.
So here are my headcanons for the main boys on their s/o playing with their hands.
Yusuke: Will think you’re a weirdo at first. “You want my hand so badly, why don’t you just hold it already? . . . Does it look like my hand is a carnival? What;s so fun about playing with my fingers? You know I can shoot you dead with one?”
Once he gets those jokes out, he’ll get used to you fiddling with his fingers. “So when did you acquire this hand kink? Or were you just born with it?” He’ll like it if you massage his hands. “Yeah, hit that sweet spot, make my hand so relaxed we put palm readers out of business.” But he won’t do the same to you, even if you don’t mind your hands played with, because it’s not his thing, he’s rather fiddle with your other body parts.
Kuwabara: He can either be chill about it or raise an eyebrow at you. If you want him to be chill, hold his hand first, and then slowly start playing with his fingers. Don’t mess with the skin between them, it’s ticklish. Start of playing with his hands, and he’s gonna raise that brow. “uh, what are you doing? Can you stop that? It’s kind of weird. It feels funny.” The more it’s done to him, the more he’ll get used to it regardless. The closer you are as a couple, the more it’ll start feeling natural, and if he’s able to really think, he’d feel like it’s one of those underrated, intimate moments couples share with another.
Kurama: yyhfanfiction makes valid points in their reply. I agree that if super close, Kurama wouldn’t mind his hands being fiddled with. After all, this person is no threat and will never be a threat. He can assest the situation and read people with ease.
That being said. I don’t think he’d like hand play at all. I think that, as open minded he can be. It’s one of those things that feels unwelcomed. No one should know his body better than himself, and hand playing involves exploration of the fingers, their joints, where their wrinkles are, even if the one playing with the hands aren’t looking for that in particular, it’s something that Kurama is going to nope out of. Hand holding is fine, finger entwining is fine, but legit playing with his hand to your content, nu huh honey. “I know you insist on playing with my palms, but it’s not something I particularly enjoy you doing to me.
I feel like some of it would do with his past life, most is that no one should know his own body more than him, and a bit is that, it does truly feel foreign to him.
Hiei: He’s going to pull his hand away from you. “What the hell, do you think you’re doing?” He’s going to do that quite often. Explain why you like playing with hands, and depending on how close you guys are, he’ll either glare at you. “Try that again, and you won’t have any hands yourself.” Or he’s gonna scoff and hold his hands to you. “I don’t know why you’re so interested in these scarred up fingers, but you want to play with them so badly, be my guest. I don’t really care either way.”
He’s not one for physical contact, if he even presents his palms to you, what is your secret? Again, not for physical contact, so don’t play with them for too long because he’ll decide your time.
If you’re really, super duper close, I’m talking about Hiei feels like he’s your mate for life close. He’ll fall asleep while you play with them. Like Yusuke, it oddly relaxes him, light massages here and there are fine if he’s slumbering. His hands are scarred with nits and poorly healed areas and drier than his sense of humor. They may not be the most fun to play with texture wise, and those famous bandages can get in the way. If his hands are naked, use this time to put lotion on his naked hand, quickly, before he wakes.
