Headcanons with tokoyami, shinsou and tamaki with a touch starved s/o who doesn’t really know how to ask for cuddles, hugs and such? They are afraid it would bother them etc; thanks!
mod aria here! i’m still getting into the hang of things, so i hope you don’t mind if it’s a little dry, haha.

tokoyami
- he’s rather perceptive when it comes to you, but he isn’t quite sure how to bring it up. how does one go “oh, hey, i noticed you like skinship but you’re always too scared to initiate it, don’t worry it’s cool” in a casual way to their s/o? not at all.
- even so, he completely understands and does his best to initiate touch first while reassuring you in a roundabout way.
- to be honest, he himself isn’t really into skinship, but if it makes you happy he’ll stick close to you for a little longer than cuddles and hugs usually go for.
shinsou
- he’s not much for skinship either, but he can totally put up with it for you. he brings it up, that you can initiate touch if you’d like, but in such an awkward way he gets embarrassed himself. not like he’d purposely let it show, in the end.
- he’s totally fine with casual skinship though, like holding hands or brushing some hair out of your face. small little moments that stack up over time.
- because he’s such a wonderful boyfriend, he hopes in the future you’ll be able to confidently ask for hugs/cuddles whenever.
tamaki
- hoo boy. he’s incredibly shy and not quite as perceptive as the other two, which is why it takes him a little longer to catch on. he’s not much of the skinship type either, though he admittedly does like being close to you.
- between the two of you, though, he’ll end up awkwardly trying to initiate something, though it falls through a bit most of the time. he might try to hug you, and then chicken out at the last moment, or tug on your shirt sleeve and then quickly say he saw something or the like.
- when the two of you do manage to somehow work out something, he’s always flustered no matter how small the action. so what if you have to accidentally drop your way into holding hands? the good old “feel my hands they’re so cold” is a tactic for a reason.
