How do the TF 2 Mercs react to having an S/O who isn’t used to soft touches because their past relationships were abusive?
Warnings: past abusive relationship, trauma, maybe some tears
Mercs with a s/o who was in a abusive relationship
When he tries to hug you and you flinch he tears up before asking if you okay
After you explain you might have to hold him back from going after that person
Afterwards he helps you get used to hugs and kisses
He loves cuddles so when you first initiate cuddles he starts crying
He's just so glad you trust him
He first notices when he's yelling and you flinch
Immediately apologizes and lowers his voice
When he realizes why he suddenly has to leave for a 'business trip'
He helps you get used to touch through quick side hugs, high fives, and fist bumps
The first time you initiate one we has to retrain himself from scooping you up to hug you
It happened when he was drunk and tried to hug you
When you flinched he started bawling and apologizing
The next morning he was very embarrassed
When he realized why he asked if he could help
He then tries to hold your hand at least once a day then moves onto hugs and so forth
He's so happy you trust him enough to let him help you
Devastated they can't hug you
When you tell him you need time they're willing to give you all the time in the world
After initiating hand holding they move onto hugs
You decide to surprise them by initiating a hug and the second you do they cling to you bawling
They're so happy and they can't hold it in anymore their best bestie just hugged them!!
He understands and is willing to give you time
He's not as touchy as some of the other mercs so he's willing to wait until your ready to start
When you are he'll start with the basics high fiveing, hand holding, hugs, and finally kisses
When you give him a kisses instead of the other way around he may tear up
He will then hold you for the next hour so hope you didn't have anything planned
He's so happy to have your trust and he'll support you through all the days
He's also not very touchy
He will wait until you initiate the first touch to being helping you move along
Even if it's just a shoulder touch it's progress!
When he gets to hug he will give you one each day
And you notice that he tends to linger each time
So when you hug back he snuggles into you to hide the biggest smile you've ever seen
When he realizes he can't snuggle you when he's tired he's a little upset
But when he realizes why he guesses he'll let it slide
He is very eager to get to the hugs so you might have to tell him to slow down sometimes
When you do get to hugs he might tackle you
He was trying to be patient but your just so hugable
He gets really lovey when he's sleepy so when your ready to cuddle he won't let go until noon the next day
Probably the least touchy
Unless you want to hug and cuddle he probably won't ask you about it
He knows of your past relationships and they make him so mad at how that person could ever hurt you
He tries to do basic shoulder touches in case you ever want another relationship he doesn't want to be clueless because he wasn't engaged in that sort of affection
If you do want to hug and cuddle he's down to let you take as much time until your ready
He'll be a lot more invested if you want to hug and cuddle because he wants to make you feel loved
Also is only engaged if you want cuddles
He knows your hurting because he's hurt to
He knows how to move to help you get more comfortable with hugs and stuff and he's willing to do it if you want
He would never force you to of course
If you ever intitae a hug you won't see his face because he might be tearing up
Just knowing you trust him enough to hug him makes his heart swell
Sorry snipers is a little long. Hope this is what you wanted I tried really hard!
