seeking out physical affection
comparing hand-sizes to hold their hand against the other's and then just holding hands
leaning against the other one in close spaces
acting like they're cold to have an excuse to cuddle or share clothes or blankets
brushing a strand of hair away
grabbing each other's hands in crowds or when crossing the street to "be safe"
turning their cheek to get the other one to give them a peck
brushing their arm against the other's, hoping the other would finally catch their arm and hold it close
fixing the other's hairstyle to let their hands run through their partner's hair
draping the arm around their shoulder while sitting next to each other
lightly tickling the other one, almost hoping it gets retaliated
reaching out with their hand without saying anything, wanting the other one to grab it
linking arms when walking around together
trying to get the other to dance with them
bumping shoulders into each other
wrapping arms around the other's neck when standing behind them

— subtle physical affection prompts 𓆩♡𓆪
i hope everyone is having a great new year so far! enjoy :D
pushing strands of their hair out of their face
brushing the dust of their clothes
wiping off a food stain near their lips (bonus: you lick it off your fingers)
briefly tracing the lines of their palms
patiently helping them put their shoes on
teasingly playing with the string of their hoodie
nose boops
comparing hand sizes
accidentally grazing their hands as both of you are reaching for the same object
gentle massages for their shoulders
delicately putting your hand on their back
playful stabs with your fingers onto the side of their waist
ever so light forehead pecks

Just a rant.
Aroace culture is being annoyed at people over sexualizing and romanticizing things like bedroom, sleepover, boy/girl friendship, dates, physical affection and kissing. Even confessions. I think it has been drilled into our brains so much even aroaces might feel weird and careful displaying any of them.
Though I'm the one saying this, I do feel awkward and afraid of displaying affection to my friends and family. "Is this right? Am I a creep?" I doubt myself, sometimes I even feel ashamed, all this struggle is because my brain follows the so called "norm" which is "a man and woman can't be friends, they can't be alone together in a bedroom without doing anything funny, they can't live together like friends", "Kissing is only sexual/romantic (including pecks)", "dating is romantic" blah blah blah. Gosh! I wanna be so affectionate with my friends, I wanna go on dates, hug them, kiss them, cuddle them...so so much but my brain is currently stuck on these toxic patterns. Even when my friends show affection, I feel weird and ashamed. I hate it.
I gotta get out of these thinking patterns. I hate amatonormativity. I hate over sexualizing or romanticizing things. I hate all the suffering many people including myself are going through because of this, not just aroaces. I just hate it.

I didn't see the Drayton x Reader hcs before when I sent that ask, I do apologise,
I was also wondering if you could do a Drayton x Reader who's physically affectionate and/or clingy,?
Like, they absolutely love physical touch and prefer to be touching, even if it's smthng as simple as legs touching,,,
Hello there! No worries about the double asks, I don't mind at all! I can absolutely write somethin for ya :^) No established romantic relationship, though it's heavily implied there's feelings that are somewhat sort of being acted upon.
Warning! Potential Spoilers for the Indigo Disk DLC!
Tumblr media
Before you came to Blueberry Academy, it was obvious you weren't one for physical touch if it weren't from one of your Pokemon. You'd bristle at a hand on your shoulder and stiffen if he rested his arm on you. So Drayton saw an opportunity and he took it. Any moment he could, he'd be brushing against you, grazing you with his fingers and pulling at your bag straps just to mess with you. Whatever they were doing to you back in Paldea and Kitakami must've been something since you were so skittish and wary of everyone around you.
He got scolded multiple times by multiple people, Amarys even tried mediating. You've been through some things, they argued, he shouldn't be pushing your boundaries. Sounded like jealousy to him. And you know what? He was right, because after months of persisting, you'd gone and eased into it, adverting your eyes and sinking into his touch which had went from teasing to gentle in an instant.
Your little friend has been nothing but trembling with murderous intent since the first time you subconsciously leaned into his touch. Drayton's not against showing Kieran that he's lost again. Everyone who sees him as lazy can't seem to realize that he's actually just playing the long game. Obviously his methods are the best because who else but the Drayster managed to break down those walls you put up? No one! But... maybe he bit off a little more than he could chew, since you are... a lot. No one's even scratched the tip of the iceberg, but at some point he realized that you're less like a regular human being and more like a weird, unidentifiable creature of some sort in terms of your behaviors and mannerisms. Might be all the weird energies you've been exposed to, or maybe you were always this way. Either way, he's just started to crack the code and maybe it's something he wasn't prepared for.
Now it's hard to keep it on the down-low just how needy you really are. You want to be near him, regardless of the consequences. So much so that you've started to skip out on everyone else.
You're physically demanding, too. It's like the game flipped on him, because now he's the one who's scared you're going to be caught glomping on him and he's going to be hunted down for it. Kieran and his sister have already been brandishing their knives, he can't have the whole school after him! Plus, it all must look so... intimate from the outside. Of course, between you, you're nothing but good buds, but if a teacher saw you both entangled together they'd think the worst, and that'd not be good for either of you.
But, well, he certainly feels smug when you come and sit in his lap while he's playing on his phone. Even more so when the thrill of potentially getting caught could mean a furious little pipsqueak and the news getting out that you're his, his.

~ GENTLE LOVE ~ PROMPTS
Tumblr media
Feel free to use and reblog!
acknowledging them as soon as they enter the room
soft looks across a long table
getting lost in their eyes during a conversation
brushing a strand of hair behind their ear
grinning when they're being adorable
mutual but enjoyable silence
kisses on the cheek in passing
breathing in their sweet scent
innocent touches when they're close
brushing knuckles softly over their cheek
being distracted by thoughts about them
terms of endearment
holding their hand when they're stressed
good morning kiss when they're still half-asleep
tucking head into the crook of their neck when they're hugging
kisses the crown of their head
exchanging looks in a crowded room
simple shared nightly routines
humming or whistling in their presence
playing with their hair right before falling asleep
pulling them closer when they're cold
communication without words
letting them ramble when they need to let off steam
tea time for just the both of them
being reminded of them by random things around them
scalp massages when they have a headache
defending them in front of others
actions to make them proud
actions to make them happy
actions to make them laugh
developing a new sense of attention to certain things
regular checks on their well-being
caressing their hand during conversation
brushing thumb over their skin while holding hands without noticing it
endless giggles
eyes brimming with adoration
attentive listening
cupping their cheeks with both hands
featherlight kisses over their entire face
bringing them small gifts when having been away
not letting them go when hugging
sweet dreams about them
smiling to lift their spirits
kisses on the tip of their nose
mirroring their actions without noticing it
taking care of them when it's hard for them to do it themself
hugs of comfort
hugs of delight
jokes to lighten the mood
marvelling at their skills

The way Gideon and Harrow were only able to show affection with each other through fighting. Like, instead of hugging or anything normal they'd rip each other to shreds due to how badly they wanted to feel loved. And that was probably the only way they got their physical touch needs met.

I also absolutely love your Lute hc (need more Lute in my life for sure). Can we get a part 3 with how she is with physical affection? so how she'd react and what she'd like to do in return. Only what you're comfortable saying.
she's definitely become one of my favorites too! i didn't assume anything nsfw from your request (?) i dont have the mind for that (?) so i mainly included fluff!
𝐋𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐏𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
𐐒 includes : lute x gender neutral! reader 𐐒 cw : none 𐐒 summary : hugs, kisses, hcs about lute's wings 𐐒 note : on this blog we love our angsty touch-starved girlfriend lute
Tumblr media
the first time holding your hands feels. . . well Lute feels a whole string of new emotions
first of all, it's like she swallowed the heavens themselves. there's a warm pit in her chest that heats up her face and neck like nothing else
i think holding your hand is what she'd like and do most often
Lute is definitely a physical touch kind of person
it's easier to show you how she feels than to tell you
so she'd definitely hold your hand often, firmly. or at least have her fingers linked with yours
you kiss Lute (lets say for the first time?)
to her its completely unexpected (even if its been a long time coming for you two, lets be real)
as a trained exorcist, the surprise causes her to malfunction just slightly i.e her wings flutter up as if she was expecting you to attack her
once she relaxes she's able to awkwardly kiss you back, this time, shielding the two of you from any stares (that or she's physically trying to shield herself from the embarrassment)
always has a little smile on her face when you kiss her, and likes to pull you in for another one when you try to walk away fast
lute likes biting your lips whatttt
and hugging lute comes with some rules too
one: at first she'd be extremely uncomfortable if you surprised her with a hug from the back (think its cute until you get body slammed by her)
and two: when she gets to hug you its like a physical sigh of relief to just have you hold her back (i think in theory too she'd never let anyone support her without feeling a little. . . uneasy about it (she can carry herself type of thought) , but your hugs feel-good)
so yes, hugging her at first is like hugging a stone pillar, but she relaxes into it! even beginning to melt into them
Lute is strong too, so her hugging you so tenderly makes me want to cry
if you ever wanted to touch her wings:
she'd avoid the question until she was finally okay with trusting you
its just the thought of anyone touching her wings feels-like weakness angels aren't supposed to have
yall think lute worries about being cast out of heaven for whatever reason?
they are highly sensitive, so one wrong move and she's smacking you with them
Lute rates the experience like 4/10, and she always shivers when you touch them
BUT- she does like to touch her wings and feathers to your back, either when your both walking or standing together. or having them slightly stretched out to protect you
"it's a completely different thing" apparently
Lute actually adores when you play with her hair, although in contrast she looks indifferent

there is something so terrifying about wanting to be held, a years deep ache in my bones, like a child sobbing pleading for someone to notice, to care.
come here darling, I swear I will not bite, come here please, smooth away the cracks in my skin, piece me back together with the gold of your love, like the japanese would repair their pottery.
there is something so vulnerable about wanting to be touched, undoing me with a mere brush of the fingers, peeling back my layers like the skin of an orange, and each golden segment of my soul, is an offering (i love you).
oh, do you think you could hold me? just this once? kiss the backs of my knees when they ache? trace the divots of my spine like exploring a foreign land? memorize the shape of my nose, my jaw, my eyes, turning the terrain of my body into something familiar.
Perhaps it is selfish of me to ask for such a thing, I have always been a rather demanding creature, a dog, scratching at the door, begging to be let in.
I will be gentle I swear, curl up in your chest, your ribcage can be a temple, your heart the god I bow before, praying you might hold me, if only for a little while.

I NEED to be cuddled right now. I am feeling too silly and I need to be held down and completely surrounded by warmth immediately. I am going to explode something if I am not given a LEAST a single hug within the next 5-10 minutes.
