Feeling some TorekkAdaGinko feelings so have a few quick little affectionate gestures notes? It’s mainly about Adashino though.
Adashino is careful not to touch someone unless it’s for examining or if they have explicitly consented to it. At the start of his relationship with Ginko and Torekka, he makes no move to hold their hand or pat their back or move a stray piece of hair. It’s obvious he wants to. They’ll notice his hands twitch in his lap or he’ll lift his hand then immediately put it back down. Ginko says it’s fine and Torekka just, grabs his hand to hold it.
He’s a bit shy about the whole thing at first. ‘I know you said it was fine, but I still don’t want to take your word and then touch you at a time when you wish me not to.’ ‘Adashino, just hold my hand, you idiot.’
When he finally gets to touch Ginko’s hair, he’s shaking the whole time and goes painfully slow. Ginko stays still and quiet; but when Adashino’s breath hitches into a small sob, he takes his hand and presses it against his cheek. ‘It’s okay.’
He’s careful about touching Torekka’s braid and doesn’t ever undo it until they guide his hand to loosen the knot and run his fingers through it. He’s a bit more confident after that, but he still strokes it very slowly and methodically.
Adashino does not do a lot of touching, honestly, but he’ll slowly take their hand sometimes and stare down at their joined fingers, rubbing a thumb over the back of their hand. Then he’ll trace the knuckles with his other hand.
If you touch his face, he’ll melt into it.
If you touch his hair, he’ll stiffen and stay still the whole time. He has been known to whimper if you get close to where his scalp meets his temples or his nape.
His weakest spot is between his neck and shoulder. Running your hand across it or kissing it will make him let out the softest sigh.
He tends to lean against them or set his head on their shoulder when he finally gets comfortable. Don’t point it out or he’ll get flustered about it.
