#i'm sure they cuddle too they seem very snuggly

[bitchslapblastoids]

Random parasocial phan lore speculation; do you think that when they had seperate bedrooms they were actually sleeping in different beds? Bc ive definitely seen the sentiment floating around since BIG first came out, and even before, that the different bedrooms were just for show, but to me that just doesnt make sense. Like yeah they were both very closeted but also when they moved to london they were also extremely broke and it doesnt make sense to me that initially they only rented a two bedroom apt for show. Like i know this is the "whole fake apartment" duo we're talking about here but that was when they were already mega rich and has started building a million dollar forever home. When you're broke and 21 years old even internalised homophobia and being closeted doesnt seem to me like a good enough reason to rent a whole extra room that you dont plan on using. Personally i think when they were younger they very much utelised having seperate areas for themselves. I think dans room was His room. His own space. And phils was the same. And they probably just picked a room at night and slept there. Or slept in their own beds. I know we joke about dnp being completely codependent, but its also very clear from an external pov that they have a really healthy relationship. And they have worked, lived and spent all their free time together basically since dan was 18. I dont think its possible for any couple, not even dnp to do that without having strong boundaries for personal space, and the physical space to enact that. I dont think they really started to cohabitate in that sense until like. 2016/17. They 100% shared a bedroom in the second london apartment and they obviously definitely share a room now, but i dont think that was the case in the early days at all. And I think probably even now in the phouse they have their own spaces where they can exist by themselves and text each other from across the phouse.

(P.s they uploaded right as I was typing this which is so rude of them to interupt my important thoughts)

to no surprise i've yapped about this before, as someone who is rocking a happy healthy separate bedroom longterm relationship!

yeah i've always been firmly in the camp that having their separate spaces has protected their own sanity. they both really are introverts with different habits about how to keep a space. thinking specifically about sleeping - they are large men, one of whom we've learned snores very loudly. their manchester and london beds were doubles (maybe queens?) which, while fine for some snuggly nights, does not provide much space to spread out when you're long-limbed.

other reasons i think they prob slept separately a lot - phil has said he likes to sleep with many pillows, while dan's manchester and london beds (which definitely seemed used (not used in a weird way just like consistently rumpled whenever we saw it which was often for many years)) always only had 2 pillows max. phil's london bed had 4. they had some text exchange that i can't be bothered to track down in one of the wdapteos about hearing a beeping noise in the night or something, and phil saying he thinks it's something in the kitchen. to me, it read like what you'd text someone when you're in different bedrooms in the same home. plus, the different hotel rooms on tour (instead of just one room w/ two beds, which would be a totally normal thing to do). i know it seems like they often ended up in one another's rooms, but they could spend their evening together and then sleep separately if one of them really needed the rest. snoring can truly drive a person mad.

but also, all that aside, i do think that no matter what, they would have had two bedrooms in manchester & london to protect their own privacy while they were closeted. there's just no world in which they would have moved into a one-bedroom apartment for their first london spot. i doubt that was ever even a question. they were closeted to what seems to be almost everyone in their lives. meanwhile, they had guests over fairly often, and their careers were filmed out of their own home. trying to hide a one bedroom apt would have been way too much of a risk, and they basically wouldn't have been able to have anyone over without outing themselves.

i agree that it seems they shared a bedroom in that second london apt, bc we never saw an actual phil room, only the set, and barely saw the 'dan' one. and it does seem like now in the phouse, the 'dan room' is the primary bedroom. but i'd imagine phil also views the green room as 'his' in that his wardrobe seems to be in there, it's a space he can retreat to, and it's a separate bed he can sleep in. ok long answer done!

tldr yes i think they've taken advantage of sleeping in separate beds

Sometimes I like to think that the guys in NRC that have intimidating auras like Riddle, Leona, Malleus, and Floyd for example all get shy and fidgety to initiate more physical touch towards their s/o in the beginning of their relationship ukno? Like dont get me wrong, anyone can think or say otherwise that that may not be the case. BUT LIKE, imagining them being all shy at first and giddy in the stomach as they fidget their fingers and look over at you or maybe looking away with their cheeks a little red🤭 (The envision is envisioning):

Riddle: If you don't mind, can I perhaps scoot a bit closer to you?

You: of course you can Riddle haha

Riddle scooting closer to you with a shy smile on his face, his cheeks going red: May I also perhaps uhm, if you don't mind, held your hands too?

You with an animated cartoon piercing through their heart: godyouresocutethisiswhyiloveyousomuch *AHEM* of course Riddle. I'd love to

Cue a happy Riddle holding hands with you as you both lean into each other comfortably. He lets out a gingerly smile as he rubs his thumb against your hand and squishes next to you ever the more ^^

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Leona watching your back as you do your homework, his tail swishing around in a lazy yet obvious eager manner as he lays on his side

You: I can feel you staring you know

Leona: But you don't feel my arms around you, do you Herbivore?

You: Did you want to put your arms around me?

Leona: I would like to, yes. Can I do that?

You let out a little snort, a chuckle escaping you as a small grin spreads on your face.

Leona: What's with that reaction? >:(

You: Nothing, I just find this side of you to be very nice

Leona: All my sides are always nice

You: Sure sure whatever you say

Leona comes over from behind and peers over your shoulder as you lean into his touch and his arms wrap around you snuggly. He nuzzles his cheek against the crown of your head as you continue to do your homework and you could swear he was purring...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Malleus: Child of Man, there is something I want to try and do with you

You: Hmm? What is it?

Malleus looking deep into your eyes all seriously: I want to attempt doing that with you

You turn to look at where he was pointing and see another couple in the far distance. The lady was holding her girlfriend up in the air and twirling her in her arms as they looked at each other, the look on their faces seeming so in love with one another with their warm smiles.

Malleus: I reassure you that I'll keep in mind of my strength if that helps ease you. I ask for permission to hold you

You let out a small giggle: Oh Malleus, i'm not scared. I'd love to be in your arms

After giving him the green light he does just that, doing as the couple did earlier as he lifts you into his arms and twirls you into the air. You go in for a hug and he gladly reciprocates with a big smile. Though he may be starting to squeeze a little too hard-

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Floyd just resting his cheek on his arm as he leans on one of the counters in Mostro Lounge, watching you study for an upcoming test.

You: Why are you just looking at me like that?

Floyd: Cus' yer so cute

You getting all red in the face: What? Floyd dont you have a shift right now? I came over to study because you said you wanted to see me

Floyd coming up to your booth and sitting in front of you: Yea but now that ya here, I wanna squish you so badly :(

You: Is that gonna make you focus back onto your shift?

Floyd: Maybe~ So? Can I squish ya?

You: Fine. Just for a short moment because I have to focus on this material and you need to go back to work

Floyd: Yay!

Floyd hops up and comes over to your side at the speed of a bullet train, wrapping his arms and legs around you with a tight cuddle session. Time seems to have passed fairly fast and you didn't even notice that until Jade came over to tell you that you had just spent close to an hour cuddling Floyd. Close of an hour worth of study time missed and close to an hour of Floyd's shift gone.

Summary: Wanda gets home from a tiring mission to a very snuggly reader who missed her.

Wanda’s Pov

I had just gotten home from a tiring mission that involved a lot of heavy lifting. Everything went fine but I had to pick up a lot of heavy things with my fingers and I know It may seem like nothing but not only does that take a lot out of me physically but mentally as well. All I wanted was to cuddle up with you. I had some making up to do after how early I left you this morning for said mission.

When I walked through the door of our apartment. I saw you lying on the sofa in the living room wearing my favorite burgundy hoodie with white and gray stripes on the sleeves. You also happened to have on my favorite gray sweatpants to match. You loved wearing my clothes, you said it made you feel closer to me which I thought was so utterly precious.

As I approached you I saw our pet cat (Someone should name the cat) jump off your lap to come and greet me. “Hi sweet girl, did you watch over your mama hmm,” I said bending down to pet the fluffy cat that by the looks of it had been given just one too many treats. I heard TV playing so I looked up to see that you were watching my favorite sitcom “The dick van dyke show.” Before we started dating you had no interest in sitcoms and said that they were too “cheesy” but with a lot of convincing, I got you to watch one episode with me and from then on you've been hooked. I might even go as far as to say you liked them more than me. When I walked closer towards you I saw you had dried tears running down your face.

My heart broke at the sight. You had always taken it hard when I had to leave you alone for anything. Whether that be a mission or just to go to the bathroom you hated when I left you by yourself; If you could be with me then you were and to be honest I had no problem with that. Deciding that I was no longer going to make you go through the torture of my skin not being on yours. I reach down and place a hand on your cheek with a soft kiss on your forehead. “Detka…detka love wake up im home.”

That was enough to wake you up. You were never a deep sleeper unless I was sleeping with you, you could sleep almost anything then. It was something about me being close to you that made you feel safe you once said that time I asked. You opened your eyes, squinting a little to adjust to the light.

As soon as you noticed that it was me, you immediately jumped up from your place on the sofa and wrapped your arms around my neck and legs around my waist. “You're home, I missed you!” You exclaimed a smile taking over your face, erasing any evidence of the tears that once took that smile's place. “Yes I am home and I missed you, more sweet girl,” I said while placing my arms under your thighs making sure you wouldn’t fall as I made my way over to sit in the chair that was in the corner by the TV. “How was the mission? Are you hurt or anything?” You asked while checking me over. “No no I'm fine don’t worry love, the mission went well. I'm tired but okay I promise.” I say holding out my pinky finger knowing that pinky promising would be the only way to ease your anxiety.

“What about you hm? How are you, what'd you do while I was gone?” I asked you to bring your head to my chest. “I didn’t do much. Just watched TV, took a nap, and waited for you.” You said looking up at me with your y/e/c eyes through your lashes. “Mm that sounds peaceful, how about we continue that minus the waiting for me of course after lunch? Have you eaten yet?” “No, I haven’t, I was trying to wait for you.” You reply. “Okay let's go have some lunch and then we’ll continue your amazing peaceful day. How does that sound?” I asked, looking down at you in my lap. You nodded up at me. “Sounds good.”

With that, I stand up off the chair with you still in my arms kola style not even thinking about having you let go knowing that would just upset you. It was a task making us lunch with you in my arms but not impossible. We make our way to the dining room table with you holding one plate and me holding the other.

I set you down in your usual seat that is straight across from mine. I picked up my fork ready to dig into the Caesar salads I prepared for lunch when I noticed you were pouting and not even attempting to start eating. “What’s wrong with love?” I asked you with patience in my voice. You look up with the face you do anytime you want something. “Can I sit in your lap and eat please?” I look at you with nothing but love on my face. “Of course, you can love to get over here,” I say while pushing my chair back to make room for you. You clamber in my lap already with your frown turned right side up making it into a smile digging into your lunch. When we finish lunch I get you off my lap so I can put our dishes in the sink to be washed later. I then grab your hand so that we can head upstairs to finish the rest of our day with cuddles.

When we get to our room I head off into the closet so that I can change into something more comfortable. While taking off my shirt, I feel you come up behind me and wrap your arms around my waist. “What are you doing lovely?” I ask, sounding muffled because of the shirt covering my face. “Um, I have an idea.” I hear you sound nervous. “Oh yeah and what’s that?” I ask while taking my shirt off completely. “Do you think we could cuddle naked? I just really wanna feel your skin on mine.” I look down at you and say. “I would love to cuddle naked with you.” We both walk over to the bed while taking off our clothes on the way. When we reach the bed we get under the covers. I bring you into my chest and within minutes you're asleep. I gently kiss your forehead “You will forever be my snuggle bug.” I say then drift off to sleep myself without a thought or worry.

How is motherhood (so far)? It seems like such a crazy shift from one life to another!

it is SO good so far!!! here are some scattered feelings & thoughts:

i have been warned that a big hormone crash is coming and i am sure that will be tough to weather! but right now i am feeling so good - still just riding that endorphin high. i feel physically good too, like tired and a little sore, but really way better than i expected to feel three days after giving birth.

my transition into parenthood has been majorly eased by the fact that my mom is here and is doing virtually all of the newborn care tasks for me right now - nighttime feedings (i take over around 5am but my hands are so bad in the night), diaper changes, tracking how much he's eating, making food, etc. she is even helping me breastfeed because it involves a level of manual dexterity i am not currently capable of most of the time. i am so so so so so so grateful to have her here. part of me feels kind of guilty, like i'm probably supposed to be feeling way more stressed out and overwhelmed trying to manage the cognitive and physical demands of new parenthood, but i am trying to quiet that voice in my brain by reminding myself that there are going to be PLENTY of times in the future where i'll get to feel overwhelmed and exhausted and in over my head as a single parent. she is so happy and so excited to do this for me, and i am trying to just let myself rest and enjoy it.

it is so special to do this with my mom. i was saying to her yesterday, like, i can totally see how taking care of a new baby with a partner would be a richly meaningful experience, and i can see that there are things i am missing out on on that front. but also if i were doing this with a partner i wouldn't get to be doing this with my mom, and i would be missing out on an experience that i am finding just as richly meaningful and rewarding. i feel so close to her and i love her so much and i know that for the rest of my life i am going to remember how special it was to get to watch her love owen so much and take such good care of him (and me) in his first days of life. i feel so lucky. i thought i would feel SO overwhelmed but instead i just feel really loved and taken care of, and i feel really close to my mom, and i feel like we are the happiest little family unit right now. i love it so much. also she calls him "my little guy" and “my best friend” and i almost cry every time. hormones but also love, you know.

owen is perfect. i feel like i felt intensely close to him right after the birth, and then i had kind of a hard first day after in the hospital where there were just TOO MANY PEOPLE coming in at all hours and doing exams on me or on him, and there was no time to rest and bond with him, and i started feeling very overwhelmed and kinda like do i even KNOW this baby? this baby is a STRANGER to me and if i hadn't had a baby i would be at HOME right now in my own SPACE without anyone coming in every 15 min day and night to bother me. that first long hospital day was really rough and then i was relieved to finally get home that night but also super cranky and tired, and i couldn't figure out how to get my pump to work, and he got very fussy in the night and i was like AAAAAAA. but then we spent all of yesterday doing so much skin-to-skin cuddling and napping in bed which is just the nicest thing imaginable, and now i am like this is my BABY he is PERFECT look at him!!!! he is so snuggly and good.

i am glad that my brother had a newborn a couple months before i did because i think it helped prepare me for how gently boring the newborn stage can be lol. not in a bad way! it's so sweet and i think will involve lots of wonderful sleepy snuggling!! but they are awake so infrequently and do not have personalities yet, and you are kind of like hm. should more be happening, or...? but no. nothing more should be happening lol they will just be sweet sleepy lumps for a good long time. my nephew is nine? ten? weeks old now and is definitely starting to become way more alert/engaged, so i know a personality is coming haha and i will just enjoy my little sweet lump right now because he won't be like this ever again!! also it's nice to be able to just let him sleep next to me while i do other stuff. i think it will ease the transition a bit... like yes now we are on this endless cycle of pumping, attempting to breastfeed, bottlefeeding him, changing him, watching him sleep, pumping again, etc but i can read or watch stuff in between because he requires so little attention while sleeping (except for LOTS OF KISSES he requires LOTS OF LITTLE KISSES because he is so SWEET!!!!). also idk i am sure i will get bored of being off work but right now it has been so restful to delete outlook & teams from my phone and just be like who cares about weird office politics i have way more important things to do like kiss a sleeping baby on the forehead a hundred times and tell him he is the best and handsomest boy in the whole world. life is very good lol.

Sort of in the same realm as all the "Dream has only had bad sex" prompts, along with having only had shitty sex, Dream is used to whoever he's with kicking him out basically the second it's over. When he and Hob get together he wants to stay as long as he can because he's so happy, but he knows he can only stay if sex is happening.

So he sitting here, actively in bed with Hob, but his mind is miles away trying to figure out how to stretch out the experience (it's always been over so fast, there's got to be SOME way he can spend more than ten minutes all wrapped up together with Hob). The best he can come up with is just like, physically moving slow, and trying to convince Hob to let him get him off more than once.

Now Hob, he's all for marathon sex, but 1) Dream seems at a complete loss of what to do, and b) Dream doesn't seem horny, he seems desperate (and not even sexy desperate, more like bordering on panic type of desperation).

Before long Hob is putting the brakes on like "alright, T.O. my love, lets talk for a sec, I am concerned both at the fact you can't seem to come up with fun sex things to do, and also that you don't seem like you're having fun, period."

It takes some pulling teeth, but eventually it all comes out, and Hob is very very sad, and explains that, while he'd be happy to spend hours showing Dream how good it can be, Hob was actually HOPING Dream would stay afterwards (ideally forever, but at least for the night), so if Dream only wants to fool around for a little bit, or he gets tired part way through, or if he decides he doesn't want to do anything, they still get to cuddle up with each other for as long as they want.

Dream is twelve kinds of baffled. But that's okay, Hob is prepared to spoil Dream with mind blowing sex AND mind blowing cuddling. His skills are diverse.

(🦇 2.0)

Yes!!! Cuddles and snuggles for Dream!!

Of course Hob is a very tactile person! I'm sure that for him, sex is very much about intimacy and he always enjoys the snuggling part just as much as the actual sex. He wouldn't mind too much if he had a partner who wanted a bit of space after sex, of course... but that just doesn't seem to be the case for Dream?

I'm obsessed with Dream trying to come up with increasingly desperate and weird sex acts which Hob is lying there feeling awkward and increasingly embarrassed. He literally can't do anymore and he's starting to worry that Dream is expecting more than his body can reasonably provide. He's never felt worried about his sexual prowess before but he's actually getting nervous!

And then it occurs to him that Dream seems to be drawing this out for a reason... and he eventually gets the truth. Honestly he's massively relieved that he isn't just like, performing inadequately... if the case is that Dream wants cuddles then he's going to get as many as Hob can possibly provide.

Dream is pretty skittish for a while, but after months of being completely welcomed in Hob’s bed for both sexy times and snuggly times... he gets very comfortable and very much claims the space as his own. Hob loves seeing him all starfished out on the sheets, waiting patiently to be cuddled six ways to sunday <333

I'm very tired and feel all needy and I would like some soft cute Gibbs lots of cuddles, standing up for you 🥺🥺🥺

You can always have soft Gibbs. Hope you like it! (And I hope you feel all snuggly and warm and have some huggles to feel better.)

Gibbs being all protective and snuggly with you would include:

•Gibbs didn’t often get involved in defending you- usually you had it covered. You are a badass, formidable individual! But today something was off- you were a bit sluggish, a bit tired and it looked like you were just going to take it.

•and Gibbs most definitely was NOT having that! Not you, he’s not having you hurt.

•so he jumped straight into defence mode. He shut that SOB down, and spat furious words at them until they were quaking in their boots! The ‘enemy’ swiftly ended up making a hasty retreat, tail between their legs.

•and only then did Gibbs turn to you. Your lips were wobbling, your eyes heavy with unshed tears and burdened with huge bags- you look utterly exhausted! Clearly the day had taken its toll on you.

•which left Gibbs with just one thing to do: to take the best of care with you. He gently guided you into his car, and then drove you back to his place, humming and singing gently to cover the silence. As much as he had to focus on the road he did also have to keep checking on you, you seemed to almost be swaying your seat from tiredness.

•he all but carried you into his house, and settled you down on his sofa- he dragged the coffee table closer, knocked the empty coffee cups off it and dropped your feet onto a cushion on the surface. But he knew there was something missing.

•he grabbed his spare hoodie from the hook off the wall, and helped you drag it down over your arms and head. There, almost perfect. You did look much more comfortable it had to be said.

•but still something was missing- a blanket! He padded down into the basement and grabbed the blanket he’d slept with the night before. It was covered in saw dust, so he shook it out as well as he was able to before taking it back upstairs to drape it around you.

•he couldn’t resist pressing a kiss to your forehead. And he couldn’t help but smile as he saw how it made a little glow appear in your cheeks, you were looking a little more like yourself.

•Gibbs hurried to turn the TV on for you, and he turned it to face you. He even managed to rustle up some snacks and junk food, which he deposited on a tray.

•only then did he strip down to comfortable trackies and a hoodie that matched the one he’d put on you. And he flipped onto the sofa beside you, pulling you into his arms for a long hug. You felt so much better after that. And he didn’t move a muscle when you dropped your head onto his shoulder, even if you fell asleep he’d stay still. He was just glad to hold you close- it made him feel better, so he was entirely sure it was making you feel better too. And he was right.

•you did end up dozing off into dreamland with a smile tugging at your face. You felt peace, and you were able to sleep, at last.

Your Favorite

A snuggly night in with the tsundere (ex)boss himself. [old fic] [ao3 reupload]

After closing the apartment door behind you, it doesn't take long for you to smell something incredible coming from the kitchen. Your exhausted body dragging itself towards your small, but workable kitchen, you hear some quiet music in the room. Coming around the corner to find your boyfriend standing at the stove cooking something, unable to see past him to see what exactly smells so good. “Hey Smartass, set your stuff down and take a seat. I’ll bring you your food in a minute, it's almost done cooking.” 

“...”

“Well, if you would sit down and wait a minute, you would have your answer. I’m aware you’re not exactly one for patience, but I know you’re at least capable of it.”

“...”

“Oh shut up and sit down already. Let me surprise you for once.”

You watch as Aaron turns the stove off and removes something from the heat, making sure to keep it hidden from you. He really wasn’t giving you any hints on this one. He pauses, turning his head to look at you and smirks a little.

“Close your eyes.” “...”

“Please? Trust me on this one okay? I want this to be a true surprise for you.”

Begrudgingly, you close your eyes, hearing the clanks and tinks of dishware and silverware, the mystery scent still hanging in the air. In the moments of waiting in your chair, you realize how tense you are. Your job had been going great, and it still is, things have just recently picked up around there. A lot more deadlines than you were used to and a lot more work being piled onto you. You still loved your coworkers and the job itself but all in all it was still a job, a job that was in a busy season. This little surprise of Aaron’s feeling like a much needed break from it all. Hearing the dishware clink onto the table in front of you, your thoughts of work stopped. 

“Okay, go ahead and open your eyes.” Eyes opening, you look down immediately and upon seeing the food in front of you, you were thrown into a memory from not too long ago. A memory of Aaron asking what your favorite food was. A memory of showing him how to make it exactly how you liked it and spending a night in the kitchen with him. A smile immediately dawning your face. 

“I know I’m not the greatest chef and that you usually do a lot of the cooking, but this seemed like a fitting addition to your shitty sounding day.” His eyes serious, awaiting your response. 

“...”

“Of course I remembered! We had a whole night dedicated to this, of course I remembered. You told me about your terrible day at work on your lunch break and with the way you look it doesn’t seem like it got any better.”

“...”

“I didn’t think so. Now, could you try your food? I want to make sure I did it correctly.”

A laugh and nod on your end and you pick up the silverware, excited to eat a good dinner after a hard day. The taste hitting your tongue and it was exactly as you remembered, just how you loved. Your feelings towards it apparent on your face earning a laugh from Aaron.

“So I’m going to say that you like it?”

“...”

“Good, I'm glad, you deserve something good in this long day. I was thinking after dinner you could take a shower and I could set up a show or a movie for us? Something to help you unwind.”

“...”

“Alright, perfect. It sounds like a plan, Smartass.”

After finishing your dinner, you left Aaron to clean up the kitchen, after much argument of why you should be able to help him with that. Leaving him to get the dishes cleaned up and get your show set up on the tv. The warm shower only helping to remind you of the pent up tightness in your shoulders from the week.

Getting out of the shower, you find yourself in the living room staring at the coffee table. A few of your favorite drinks and snacks laid out on it, your favorite show queued up on the tv, and your boyfriend. Your boyfriend sitting on the couch, blanket at the ready, ready to cuddle with you. A very welcome sight. 

“Are you going to stand there and gawk in surprise all night or come sit down with me?” 

His lips pulling up into a teasing smile making your love for him deepen just a little bit. Curling up into him on the couch, taking him in as he wrapped the blanket around the two of you. Settling in, eyes coming to rest on the tv as he clicked the play button. His arm around you, holding you close. It doesn’t take long for him to shift his arm on your shoulders though.

“Jesus, it’s like I’m holding a brick wall right now.”

“...”

“Yes, a brick wall, you’re still so tense. Turn sideways.”

“...”

“Just do it, I'm going to rub your shoulders for you. Maybe after that you won’t feel so rigid and I can properly hold you.”

His hands carefully digging into your shoulder and neck, quickly pinpointing the exact locations of the pain. Pain you didn’t even realize was there anymore, it had just become a dull ache in the back of your head. His thumbs pressing into spots that shot pain straight to your skull but in the best way possible. Feeling the pressure from his hands loosen the muscles in your shoulders and neck slowly. Your quiet hums of relief making him laugh to himself. After a long few minutes, his hands come to a stop, resting on your shoulders.

“Is that feeling any better?”

“...” A laugh from him, his hands dragging down your back and rubbing softly as he pulled down and away.

“I’m glad it’s feeling better for you, you feel a lot less like a wall and a lot more like a person.”

His arms looping around your waist and pulling you close to him again. Your head now resting on his chest, faintly hearing his heartbeat as he pressed play on your show again. Your body and eyes now even more tired than before you tried to focus on the show. Your attention soon shifting to the repetitive sound of his heartbeat. The sound slowly bringing your eyes shut and leading you into a peaceful sleep against Aaron.

Hi, postgame kokichi anon here, basically just scenarios revolving about Kokichi and S/o in the winter months, watching cheesy movies, cuddling during the cold, watching snow fall, that kinda. I'm just really missing winter rn

Postgame Kokichi and S/O in the winter months

This was very cute !!! I love postgame Kokichi so very much that frankly, I think I’m going to make an RP / ask blog just for him and a character named Yuno Shion. Yuno is just there to voice Kokichi’s inner thoughts most of the time because he himself is selectively mute. But Yuno basically takes the place of S/O. I’ll let everyone know when the ask blog is up for him !

I’ve also tried editing Kokichi’s sprites because he’s 20 in my ask blog and his appearance has changed from the game. - Mod Kokichi

- Kokichi seems to be more agitated in the winter months than in the summer months

- He’s often more restless than any other time of the year, like he can’t sleep

- You figure that it’s about the cold and how uncomfortable it is for him

- But you can’t be too sure, so you just take care of him as normal

- Even though he’s more prone to problems, he tries his hardest to be supportive, too

- He’ll come home extra early just to make some food for you when you get off work

- Because most of the time, you’re the one doing that kind of stuff

- So he likes the idea of flipping the switch and making sure you’re taken care of as well as he is

- Sometimes he’ll get it done just in time and gets so excited to show you what he did

- He’s still pretty bad at being patient and will waltz around aimlessly for a while before he hears the front door open

- After you’re home, you have his attention

- He treats you like you would expect a puppy to if they had a human form

- So it’s really hot and cold for him in the winter months

- Unless he’s having a bad day, he’s very snuggly during the winter

- He just,, simply does not vibe with the cold

- That’s the entire reason, you presume

- Sometimes he won’t even give you in incentive that he’s coming

- He’ll just dive in for your lap because that’s his favorite way to snuggle with you

- That way, you can both do something different and still be close

- He just likes hanging out with his best friend, even the silence is nice

- Sometimes you’ll talk to fill up the silence, sometimes you won’t

- It depends on how you feel

- When he is having a bad day,, he wants you as far away as possible

- And you need to be careful not to overstep your boundaries there.

- On one of his truly bad days, if he doesn’t isolate himself correctly, there will be a massive meltdown in his near future

- He needs that time to recuperate 

- Afterward, he’ll come to you when he’s ready to be helped

- On those days, he’s hard to deal with

- He won’t eat, he won’t leave his bedroom, he won’t change his clothes or brush his teeth

- He’ll just sit in his bed, curled up

- You make sure his clothes are laid out for him and that he has a sticky note on the mirror as a reminder to brush his teeth

- It wasn’t really necessary, he can do the stuff himself

- It’s just a thing you got into the habit of doing that you don’t really plan to stop doing any time soon

- He’s very thankful that you’re there for him

- It kind of makes him want to cry when he thinks about how much you do for him

- So he’ll shower, and brush his teeth, and put on clean clothes

- For you, so you don’t have to remind him every day

- You can always brush his hair at a later date, but those are the things he needs to take care of

- He rather likes when you brush his hair, just do it softly

- If it feels like you’re yanking at his head, he’ll just get up and walk away

- Sometimes that’s what is needed to brush his hair, so you just have to deal with it

- Other times, he wants you to brush his hair so he can have a nice moment with you

- Kokichi’s life isn’t normal by any means

- But he gets to sit on the couch with you while you’re talking and put on a cheesy movie

- Or he can go outside with you when you’re both off and build snowmen

- Either way, life isn’t perfect, but he’s learned to enjoy it.
