Touch Starved Hector Headcanons.
- Some objects in your home were touched regularly. Hector was not among them. Yes, you changed the settings on your thermostat, but does that really count as touch? To him, no. At least, he doesn’t feel it that way.
- So it was a big deal when you started to interact with him more directly. Something as simple as meeting your eyes could feel very intense at first, even with the grate between the two of you.
- Once, you convinced him to let you touch his fingers. You stood on a chair, closed your eyes, and brushed the pads of your fingers over his knuckles. You could feel them trembling beneath you, and there was a clanging sound up in the attic.
- After that you’d start to feel random brushes of air as you went about your day. A cool breeze on your cheek. A bit of warmth playing against your wrist. You didn’t acknowledge them (you didn’t want to make Hector feel self-conscious), but they made you smile.
- When Hector finally revealed himself to you, you wanted to run into his arms. You held yourself back, though. You could tell by the way he was holding himself that it might be too much.
- After a while, though, he grew more comfortable. That’s when you took his face in your hands. Your palms, his cheeks. His skin was surprisingly soft, and it was hard not to be charmed by the way he melted. Eyes closed, lips parted, hands coming up to clasp together in front of him: the picture of bliss.
- It was hard to stay away after that. You lives for seeing how he’d react to your touch. Sometimes he’d reach for your hand, then stop himself, as if he didn’t have permission. You’d smile and interlace your fingers with his and he’d shiver all happy.
- His bulky clothing made it hard to hold him sometimes, but you’d manage, pulling him in close and nestling your lips against his neck. Despite his bold words in the vents, he’d grow shy when you were so close, stiffening up as though any movement might make you run away. It felt like too much to lose, and he wasn’t gonna take that risk.
