FARALEX HUGS FROM BEHIND

OR NIKPRICE

OR LITERALLY ANY SHIP

Faralex hugs from behind aren't what people expect from them.

More often than not it's Farah who'll walk up behind Alex and wrap her arms around him, resting her forehead between his shoulder blades. He'll reach back and gently grip her arm, rubbing his thumb in circles over her skin until she says something or steps back so he can face her. It's a good sign that she's tired, overwhelmed or both.

Nikprice hugs from behind are almost always perpetrated by Nikolai.

It happens almost every morning when they're on leave and back at John's flat. He'll walk through to the kitchen to find John looking through the fridge or fiddling with something on the counter. He'll wrap his arms around his Englishman and presses sleepy kisses to the back of his neck, depending on the day John will either grunt tiredly at him, offer him breakfast in the very romantic way of "Toast?" or on his favourite days, John will just drag him back to bed.

Ghostsoap hugs from behind are equally perpetrated.

Johnny will plaster himself up against Simon's back when the other man is freshly out of the shower and dripping wet, towel around his waist. Contrary to popular belief he isn't looking for sex, he's enjoying the smell of his body wash that Simon has taken to using. He doesn't care how wet his t-shirt gets, he's happy to just stand there and smell Simon much to the lieutenant's amusement. Simon likes to hug Johnny from behind whilst the Scotsman tinkers with things. He loves watching his sergeant fiddle with something, the sheer concentration on his face contrasts with how relaxed the constant movement of his hands makes him. Simon loves it and he'll stand there for as long as it takes.

Alerudy hugs from behind are Alejandro's thing.

Rudy can be doing anything and as long as there's space then Alejandro will wrap his arms around Rudy's waist and squeeze, nuzzling in at his neck while Rudy does whatever. Rudy is so used to it that he doesn't react anymore, he appreciates it, don't be mistaken but he won't blink twice when it happens. If Alejandro wants attention then he'll very lightly nip at the other man's skin until he gets it or until Rudy shoos him away like a cat.

If Rudy is hugging Alejandro from behind then it's because one hand is slipping under the colonel's shirt and the other hand is undoing his zipper.
