Primachs First Time Cuddling you
Masterlist Here
What happens the first time you cuddle an emotionally stunted war criminal, I hear you ask?
Nobody asked I just wanted to write.
TW: manhandling, some post heresy primarchs, slightly nsfw touching for some

Lion El’Jonson - I
This man treats it like a military exercise.
This is an expected duty and he will treat it like one.
You’re treated like a defensive checkpoint: deposited on the far side of the bed, wrapped up in blankets and furs, and then he lies down beside you. Alas, somewhere in that theoretical understanding of cuddling he failed to understand that he should probably be facing towards you - or even touching you in any way, and not just lying in wait, facing the door in case of intruders.
Guarding you.
You can make the most of this by snuggling into his back and he’ll allow it. Don’t worry, he’ll get better over time… hopefully.
Fulgrim - III
Surprisingly awkward.
In his quest to make it perfect, to set the mood, to make sure he doesn’t touch you too much or too little and precisely ready what you want in this moment he comes off stilted and slightly stiff.
He settles into it quickly though, ever adept at reading your mood and pulls you into his chest, letting you rest against him and pressing languid kisses atop your head. When you’re clearly relaxed and enjoying his effort he loosens even more and it makes for a very cute evening together.
Post heresy bonus:
Coils around you confidently trapping you between thick ropes of his winding body. Enjoy being pet like the little well, pet you are.
Perturabo - IV
Oh good lord, a feat in and of itself you got him to agree, but once he’s had it once he’s a tsundere addict so watch out.
That first time though, that first time is for you to coax him into being more than an unmoving iron wall. Showing him what tender touch and unburdened human affection feels like.
He leans into your hands as you sit up upon his chest and caress his wires, letting out low rumbles you didn’t think was possible from your nigh unfeeling lord. It’s an addictive feeling you’ll try to replicate over and over.
Jaghatai Khan - V
It’s a cute date where he takes you out into the cold wilderness and shows you how well he can provide for you.
Hot roasted meat skewers, look at these thick furs he brought for you, still cold? Don’t worry, that’s what his arms are here for, to hold you close and make you feel secure.
Just lean into his arms and let the warmth seep through as he looks down at his little hawk adoringly. He’ll press little kisses all over, your cheeks, nose, the top of your head, everywhere.
He carries you back because he doesn’t want to put you down.
Leman Russ - VI
This man is the most tactile creature known to the Imperium.
He’s already had his hands all over you, arms slung around you and had you over his shoulder plenty of times before he just decides to scoop you up for a lazy cuddle session.
By this point you’re already boneless and buried in a pile of wolf, both fluffy and human alike. Too bad if you’re too warm because you’re not leaving any time soon, not with his head laid on your thighs and arms spread across you to snuggle in the dogpile.
Rogal Dorn - VII
Emperor help him but he doesn't understand.
He understands theoretically and physically what happens but you’re going to need to walk and talk him through every step as he dutifully obeys.
‘Lift your arm - no, that one, that’s right. And now put it down. Gently…. Perfect.’
Once you’re settled in with him though he’s a nice steady presence, sort of like a weighted blanket but better because he makes you feel beyond safe in his arms.
Konrad Curze - VIII
Work is cut out here, and you might want to try bathing him beforehand unless you want to pull away covered with … bits.
Manage that first and he will actually cradle you somewhat tenderly, like you are fragile porcelain that will crack, which may very well be true from his perspective. His body cages around you and protects you from the world, even if you are entirely alone together.
Just let him hold you, maybe even press shaky kisses into you, and he only mutters about the demise of humanity maybe once or twice (that's an improvement on normal)
Sanguinius - IX
What a dream… if you didn’t have hair or feathers in your face every other minute.
Trying to manoeuvre in a way that his wings aren’t pressed uncomfortably beneath him, you’re not pulling and lying on feathers, and his long hair generally tangling as you both tango into position makes for quite the challenge.
You both laugh at it though, giggling and clutching each other at the absurdity of trying to make it work and eventually succeed into settling together. It’s soft, it’s sweet, it's perfect.
Post heresy bonus:
He plagues you in dreams of futures that could have been - fragments of his soul echoing through the warp and into your head the same way the black rage does.
You curl up against his cold sarcophagus and nobody stops you.
Ferrus Manus - X
This man could not take a hint that you wanted to cuddle him if you tried, so you’re going to have to take heavy handed initiative here.
You should forever treasure the look on his face as you triumphantly approach with about five oven mitts from the kitchens cobbled together into unholy abominations of fabric and begin stuffing them onto his hands with no explanation.
By the time he’s stopped rebooting enough to ask questions you’re already climbing up into his arms so he can hold you in relative comfort while he can walk around.
He will make a papoose like design for your second cuddling session so he can hold you close while he works unimpeded.
Angron - XII
He’s screaming, crying, throwing up (™) - WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOURE GOING TO HOLD HIM CLOSE FOR A PROLONGUED PERIOD - ARE YOU MAD???
The answer to that one is probably, yes.
He holds still like a statue but trembles still as you curl into his lap, leeching his warmth. Maybe after a few sessions to calm down you might actually get somewhere.
Roboute Guilliman - XIII
Surprisingly good at this. Actually knows how to enjoy his limited free time and just scoops you into him and lounges back.
He’ll hand feed you fruits while you snuggle into him and enjoy each other's presence. Finds it very cute when you try to feed him back, kneeling up on his lap to reach and feed him what looks comically tiny in comparison.
He’ll definitely find more time to put aside for this, ending up very refreshed from just a little time with you.
Mortarion - XIV
This man is nervous beyond measure, please reassure him over and over and over.
And smooch him.
Lots.
Very uncomfortable with physical touch and probably doesn’t get better on your first try either. But, it’s a very, very important step to getting close with him - sort of like getting close to a feral cat.
Give him affection but don’t overwhelm him and soon enough he’ll be coming to you at all hours of the day to steal you away for some quality tactile time in your arms.
Post heresy bonus:
MTV: Welcome to my swamp - where I have made a nest just for you.
He will help you carefully climb in then clamber in on top of you, wings spread wide and covering the both of you like a canopy. Surprisingly nice if you don’t mind the smell because Mothtarion is soft and fluffy.
Magnus the Red - XV
The first time you cuddle is actually psychically - in your sleep.
He’s just so excited to get close to you, and there’s not enough time in a baseline’s day - so why not enjoy time together in dreams too?
Except you’re not as lucid as he is to start with, sleepily demanding cuddles from him that he very amusedly gives as you clamber onto him and press up into his chest. When you come around a little your face is as red as he is, apologising until he squeezes you closer and laughs as he kisses your forehead.
Horus Lupercal - XVI
One day when meeting him in his office before going out for a date he simply reaches out, swiping around your waist and pulling you confidently into his lap. He’ll wrap an arm lazily around your waist and press a kiss into your temple before telling you to sit tight while he finishes the last of his work.
It’s so smooth it’s criminal, and leaves you blushing and him smirking - what exactly did you expect?
From then onwards he loves having you sat on him, especially when someone comes to visit him so he can put a possessive hand on you and flex his prize.
Lorgar Aurelian - XVII
He looks at you like a puppy for days until you figure out what he wants because he won’t ask for it. Just longing, staring and yearning until you give him permission.
Then his hands are all over you, mapping you out.
Straight from 0 to 100 immediately for this man.
You’ll have to temper him back he’ll whimper and then comfort him gently for a long, long while before he’s willing to move from your side.
Vulkan - XVIII
He’s vibrating in excitement, he’s been waiting for this for a while but wanted you to be comfortable and ready knowing how physically intimidating he can be. But once you’re ready he’ll be spinning you around in his arms before spiriting you away to a pre-cooled room so you can stand being close against him for longer (yes, he was that prepared).
Such a cuddly man, petting and nuzzling and the whole works. He’ll make sure you’re beyond comfortable. Constantly checks in with you, massages you, holds you just right.
It’s just right for you both and ends up as very addictive stress relief.
Corvus Corax - XIX
When you ask him to cuddle he immediately melts away into the shadows, which honestly makes you upset… until he materialises some time later and nervously brings you to a nest he made just for this.
Accept and he’ll be strangely happy, settling in with you in your own private little place.
This ends up becoming somewhere you can go to when you’re feeling down and or just need him and he’ll come as soon as he can, with you often finding treats or treasures left for you there to tide you over until he can arrive.
Alpharius/Omegon - XX
Idiot sandwich cuddle session.
They’re goofy and you’re stuck between them.
Throne help you because they have plenty of stupid questions to ask you to entertain themselves over the hours they keep themselves barnacled to you.
“Would you still love us if we were tyranid wyrms?” type questions.
Don’t answer properly and they’ll poke you and whine, unless you bribe them with snuggling in deeper.
Good luck soldier.
Bonus: The Emperor
You’re the nervous one here - mostly because you’re already struggling to comprehend why he’s chosen you of every human alive and everything feels very unreal.
So when he quite literally sweeps you off your feet and carries you bridal style it's accompanied by a shocked yelp. Which he laughs at.
The custodes are struggling not to go insane - oh well.
He’ll perch you in his lap while he sits back on the throne, and you’ll tremble like a chihuahua in a handbag while he pets you. At least he makes sure the two of you aren’t disturbed while you acclimate.
It ends up being a sort of introductory trial for spending a lot more time cuddled up to him.
At his desk, in meetings, in the lab - who is going to tell Him no?
