Anya sometimes likes to sneak into her parents’ beds.
Yor is easy. She lets her in no problem, and they snuggle a lot, because she often remembers Yuri doing that with her when he was little, even in sleep. And she knows she can come in whenever she wants. If she wants to feel comforted, she sleeps there, curled into Yor’s side in a small ball. Because of this, she always ensures her weapons are put away at night.
Loid, however, is tricky, because she can’t sneak past him. Not just because he only sleeps two hours a night, but because he often doesn’t want her in his room due to his spy equipment. The key to sleeping in his room was emotions. So sometimes, on a particularly bad day, or when she just wants to cuddle him, she’ll pretend to have a nightmare and he’ll let her in. And always, the routine is the same. He lays down, and she climbs on top of him to lay on his chest with her ear listening to his heartbeat, and every time, it lulls her to sleep.
And if it’s really bad with a nightmare, then once in a while, they’ll have a “family camp out” in the living room in sleeping bags, where Anya is sandwiched between them, so they can be together all night like she needs. And when he and Yor get more comfortable with each other (I.e. fall in love) they all just end up sharing her bedroom for the night.

Unpopular opinion probably but I'd find it so cool and funny if Loid and Yor never do start romantically dating each other genuinely but just stay best buds married out of convenience.
Tell me that doesn't make sense when at any point when these two were supposed to "prove" that they love each other, or even tried to engage in romantic physical intimacy they (granted, mostly Yor) flounder so hard they can't even kiss each other. In a pretend marriage. (Never mind that Yor is drunk for almost all of these occasions.)
In fewer words:
AroAce Loid and Yor.
My specific headcanons are Aro/Gray-Ace Loid and Ace/maybe-somewhere-on-the-aro-spectrum-man-idk Yor.
Reasoning incoming:
A big part of their setup and the upkeep of their respective secret identities is the fact that they have no idea what is considered normal. Loid understands fundamentally that sex is considered a big part of marriage but he thinks Yor wouldn't enjoy it due to her "past" as a sex worker, but he does not understand or notice that he's supposed to have a problem with that. Of course he loves Yor dearly and thus respects her wishes, and when it comes to his own needs he thinks he "can keep himself in check", not realizing that he barely has any, not like "other people" do. He enjoys physical intimacy with Yor occasinally but if Yor doesn't want to, that's fine, shrugged, and forgotten about.
Later, once they figure out each other's secret identities, they can way more openly refer to each others as partners. In mission, in crime, in life, they trust each other deeply. But romantically? Loid was so busy with getting Yor to like him in their pretend marriage, he never considered whether he likes her. And he does, you know, she's his best friend in a way even Franky never was. He trusts her with his life. But does he like her romantically? And he'll think, no of course not because of his job. And then their secrets are revealed and they stay together and he still doesn't love her romantically, the way it's depicted in all the novels. But now he doesn't have the job as an excuse, because clearly, that's not it.
It takes him a minute to figure out, but he sees nothing wrong with loving Yor the way he does, she is already the person he trusts most in the world, so that must be enough. No saccarine romantic feelings involved.
Yor, meanwhile, gets easily flustered at the idea of physical intimacy and romance, and gets easily defensive about it. By accident, of course, and it's only inexperience, surely. Except, you know. Most other people wouldn't make that much of a fuss if they got to kiss their hot pretend husband. Most people wouldn't try to slap the living shit out of him on reflex. On different occasions.
So, you know, at some point after the reveal, they sit down and have a long and healthy discussion about their wishes and boundaries. And Loid asks her about her physical boundaries specifically, given her reactions in the past. And they do kiss. And it's kinda nice. Not half as good as everyone told her it'd be. Not as bad as she's dreaded it to be either, on occasion, when the self-doubt got too strong. But that's it.
But once Yor is free of all the expectations she's created in her head about how to be a good wife and what other women her age expect and want, she gets to think about it. And Loid asks her if she wants to kiss again. And honestly? Not particularly? She could, and sometimes she'd like to, but it's not that vital to her. And that starts a whole conversation about their wants and needs in the bedroom.
They keep their seperate bedrooms, because that's what they're used to and between Loid's healthy paranoia and Yor accidentally kicking him in the shins in her sleep, it's just better for them if they don't share.
Sometimes they fall asleep on the couch watching a movie curled up with each other but that's the extend of it. They both prefer it that way.

Give me the fic where Loid gets amnesia after a head injury on a dangerous mission and when he wakes up he believes Anya and Yor are his real family without any knowledge of his job as a spy. He lives life as Loid forger, despite WISE trying to contact him and give him signs.
But he’s genuinely falling in love with them, and Yor and Anya are getting closer to him by the day. And when his memory comes back, he has a full blown identity crisis. Because he lived the life of Loid Forger, and it was better than he thought. And that was the last thing he expected.
And he continues on with the mission, but vows to do things the Loid Forger way, instead of the Agent Twilight way. In doing that, Anya’s grades begin to improve, and he and Yor grow into an actual couple. When Operation STRIX ends, he tells WISE that he will continue taking missions- but only small ones, that he can do while continuing to be Loid Forger. And WISE, not about to lose their best agent, complies.
Loid gets the life he didn’t even know he wanted, and he and Anya and Yor live happily ever after.
