love touch starved characters. characters who lean into passing hands on their backs or arms. characters who are outwardly tough but have multiple pillows and a plushie to be able to sleep at night, needing something to hold. something to hold them. characters who slap away the hand going to their shoulder because they know once they get that contact they'll want nothing more than to collapse into open arms. and that hurts them more than not having it at all. not allowing it.

because those welcoming arms weren't always so warm, and they don't want to feel it when they get cold again.
