scaramouche
by nature, he is not much for touch. he simultaneously yearns it more than anything, and despises it with all his heart.
it is at his weakest he will accept it. on his knees, at the end of the world. he’s sharp and ugly at his worst, and yet, there you are.
when you hold him, he shudders and exhales deep against your chest, as if he cannot bear the weight of you around him. and yet, instead of running, he just burrows in, and hides himself in your arms.
in time, he learns. he reaches for you even when he has no reason to. he tucks his arms around you, and burrows his head into your shoulder.
he often rests against you, face pressed against your chest, or nose tucked against your throat; always looking for the beat of your heart.
in bed, he counts your ribs with the tips of his fingers, and cocoons his head into the shape of your neck as it meets your collarbone, counting the time with each breath of your lungs.
ei / raiden shogun
she cradles you, eyes drifting closed, brows furrowing down; it’s nearly a mournful look, but she keeps you close
only ends the embrace when you do; she never pulls away first
keeps a hand on your back and another curled around your waist
she has a habit of trying to hold you to her chest, and she’ll generally rest her head against the top of yours, sighing into your hair as if you erase every burden inside of her
usually makes soft comments, “the rain has grown still, and the moon is high. and you are here. safe, in my arms.”
yae miko
she teases you for wanting affection each time. “a 'snuggle’? well, i suppose. if you think you’ve truly earned it.”
but it’s only bark and no bite; each time, she’ll pull you into her arms regardless. she has a very soothing hold, and this close, you can catch the scent of something sharp and floral, like cherry blossoms and perfume.
likes to scratch at your scalp and the back of your neck. she’d never tell you, but it’s just a much a comfort to her to feel something as it is for you to be touched.
her guard is down when she’s asleep, and it is only like this that you can truly hold her back. she’d feel rather blissful, indeed, if she subconsciously felt you spooning her from behind, legs tangled together.
in public, she generally prefers the hugs where you mostly hug her arm, rather than her whole person. she finds your presence in such cases a delight, and not as much a hinderance.
