Is Teo more fond of kissing or hugging? (Can be situational like between him and his son or him and his son's mom or him and a new significant other or between him and his brother. ACTUALLY ANSWER THEM ALL)
Hugging, generally, but SITUATION-WISE......
He’s always been reserved when it comes to physical affection besides his immediate family. Hugging is HUGE in the Yanez home, so even if Teo hated it, he’d have to suck it up for his mom’s sake. Joaquin regularly gives him hugs (even in public, to Teo’s dismay and the media’s delight), which he will reciprocate. With gusto. Think bear hug, crushing his brother in his strong arms. Maxwell (Joaquin’s husband) also is allowed hugs, but they aren’t as plentiful as the ones for Joaquin.
Between him and Cassie, he had been rather shy at doing much more than holding hands or pecks on the cheek for a loooooooooong time. Teo is notoriously shy, and even though the two of them had a very deep relationship, Cassie was constantly frustrated by the lack of physical affection. Teo got past that wall eventually, and that’s how James came into the picture :^)
AND MAN OKAY TEO IS A SUCKER FOR HUGS AND KISSES FOR HIS SONFor real, because his dad died when he was pretty young, he recognizes how important it is to have a loving relationship with James. So plenty of cuddles and kisses when he wants them. Especially since they live about 3-ish hours away from each other.
Teo’s weird about kissing when it comes to any sort of sexual or romantic relationship. He sees it as a very unnerving form of intimacy, which he isn’t readily giving away. Kisses on other parts of the body besides the lips are somewhat more acceptable, but kissing someone on the lips is so difficult for him to do.
