#he goes on to tackle ray in pretty much the exact same way without hesitation afew chapters later. while crying. god he is everything to me

ray having over-the-top reactions to recieving affection from don due to his fucked up relationship with affection is always fun to think about but god i love thinking about don's reactions to affection from ray as well because like. don did have affection growing up. don is easily one of the most affectionate characters in the series so you'd think he would have no problem with this, but instead don is so affectionate that he is at a point where he is way more used to initiating affection than just. receiving it. pair this with his existing issues with emotional regulation and the situation you have is don having no problem tackling ray with hugs and doing so frequently but ray gives don a hug completely unprompted and don just immediately bursts into tears for no apparent reason
