Another request that I didn't think of until now but maybe some Leo x touch starved/clingy reader headcanons? Anything about him and someone who's very physically affectionate and kinda needy if that makes sense

Don't worry, that makes perfect sense! He’s a pretty needy dude sometimes too, so it balances out well. I hope you enjoy!

Sweet! Boyfriend With An S/O Who's Clingy/Touch Starved

Gn! Reader

Warnings: None

Sweet! boyfriend Leo who isn't used to physical affection. He's never been a big fan of it, not unless the touch is coming from someone he's close with, and even then, it's never prolonged. He'd never been in a relationship until you came along, so needless to say, romantic affection is not something he's used to.

Sweet! boyfriend Leo who is thoroughly jarred the first time you initiate contact, to say the least. It's...not unpleasant, at least he doesn't think it is, but it just came out of nowhere, and you grabbed his hand so casually, he doesn't even know how to begin reacting. How does he hold a hand? Should his grip be loose? Should it be tight? Should he inch closer to you? Why aren't his fingers slotting themselves between yours properly? Oh no, his palm's getting sweaty, surely you're getting grossed out by his touch-

Yeah, he doesn't know what he's doing.

Sweet! boyfriend Leo who is pleasantly surprised when you don't pull away from him. In fact, you actively seek out his touch on a regular basis, Coming back for more of...well, whatever it is you see in him. He's not sure why you're so eager to touch him, especially when he responds so awkwardly it almost seems like hesitation, but he's secretly grateful for your persistence nonetheless.

Sweet! Boyfriend Leo who is very hesitant to reciprocate your touch in any way, at least at first. He's not sure how he feels about the affection yet, he's just not used to it, and he's afraid he'll push some sort of boundary if he tries to seek your touch out first. It may come off as disinterest on his part, so you'll probably end up asking him about his nervousness and subsequently reminding him he's free to cuddle up to you whenever he wants, if he's comfortable with it. You tell him you're sorry if you've pushed him too far, but he adamantly reassures you, letting you know that he's just so new to the whole thing.

Sweet! boyfriend Leo who slowly gets used to your touch as your relationship progresses, letting you latch on to him as you please while he gradually learns to reciprocate. He starts off by initiating handholding, then sitting shoulder-to-shoulder, the hugging, then cuddling. It may take a couple weeks for him to get fully comfortable, and you can tell he's super nervous about the whole process, but you can see him gaining confidence little by little as he adjusts to the new constant of your touch.

Sweet! boyfriend Leo who's slowly but surely getting used to being touched, and you can tell that he's enjoying every second of it. Despite his nervousness, he seems to thrive off of your affections, snuggling up closer to you as soon as he gets comfortable with whatever position you two happen to be in. He especially seems to like cuddling, which you find a little funny considering his previous hesitations. You'd think the full body touch would freak him out the most, but he seems to love it, falling into a state of bliss whenever you two curl up next to each other almost immediately.

Sweet! boyfriend Leo who holds you firmly yet gently, afraid to hurt you in any way. He loves the comfort being so close to you gives him, he never realized how nice it was to be pressed up against another person until you came along. Your warmth, your voice, your hold, it's all just so amazing to him, he can't believe he had ever been scared of it! If he had his way, he'd never have to let you go, always trapped within the confines of your embrace.

Sweet! boyfriend Leo who's perfectly comfortable letting you latch onto him whenever you want, no matter what you're doing. Hug him when he least expects it, pull him onto the couch to cuddle, grab his hand while you're walking down the sidewalk, whatever you want, he'll go along with. He may tense up a little bit upon first contact, but that's more out of surprise than anything. Rest assured, he'll relax once his body realizes it's just you.

Sweet! boyfriend Leo who gets way better about initiating contact, learning and ingraining your preferences into his brain so he doesn't have to worry about upsetting you. he's long since figured out that you don't mind him coming up and showing you affection, so now he has no problem grabbing onto you when he wants. You still instigate most of the time, but it's a dynamic that works well for the two of you. Above all else, Leo makes sure you know he loves your affection, even if he doesn't always seek it out first.

Sweet! boyfriend Leo who loves nothing more than cuddling up to you before sleeping, or going cuddling up to you while resting on a couch. Something about physical affection makes Leo tired (probably the comfort aspect of it), so expect him to fall asleep reitively often. You just make him feel so safe, take it as a compliment!

Sweet! boyfriend Leo who's overall very happy with an affectionate s/o. It makes him feel loved, and he's quickly learning that physical affection is the perfect comfort tool for when he's tired or sad or bored or...really anything! You've officially sold the man on physical touch, and he wouldn't have it any other way, as long as it's you.

I hope you enjoyed!

Sweet! Boyfriend Moving In/Living Together Headcanons

Gn! Reader

Warnings: None other than Leo’s awkward anxiety, mostly fluff

Divider credit goes to @animatedglittergraphics-n-more

Moving in:

-The prospect of moving in with his s/o is a big deal to Leo, so he’d probably wait to talk about it until you bring it up. As with most things, he doesn’t want to push a boundary before you’re ready, so he’ll let you take the lead on this one.

-Once you do bring the subject up, Leo is somewhat receptive, but he won't immediately say yes. It's not that he doesn't want to move in with you, but moving in is a huge step in the relationship, and he wants to spend some time talking it over before deciding to take the leap. Rest assured, he does want to live with you, he just wants to be fully prepared for any challenges that could arise.

-Prepare to have a lengthy conversation about living and sleeping habits, what kind of apartment you'd want to look for, how you'd want to set the living space up, whether pets are allowed, expected house rules, what's expected of each other, stuff like that. He'll probably make a list and send you a copy so you're both clear on everything that was discussed, and hopefully by the end of the whole conversation, you'll come out understanding each other's living habits better. After all, living with someone is way different than just staying the night with them occasionally, so it can only help to know what it'll be like to live together before you actually move in.

-Once y'all have talked it over and fully decided that moving in is something you'd both like to do, you and Leo will search around for available apartments together, eventually landing on one that seems to suit your needs. Leo would probably suggest a two bedroom apartment, just so you have room for all of your stuff, but he's cool with whatever you think is best.

-Now, as smooth as everything seems to be going, Leo is very nervous about the move in process. He's not great with change and moving into a new place with a partner he's never lived with before is a huge change, so he's freaking out a little on the inside. You'll have to reassure him that it'll be fine, that you'll both adjust pretty quickly, that you'll be there to support him until he fully adjusts, but he's definitely gonna have a level of fear resting in the back of his mind until move-in day, probably for a week or two after as well. It has nothing to do with you and everything to do with a switch in routine, so don't blame yourself for his nerves.

-Once move in day finally comes around, Leo’s both tense and surprisingly focused. He does a good job at getting everything into and set up at the new apartment, but you can tell he’s quite stressed about the whole ordeal. It’s a good thing you’re there to help him keep all of his nerves under control, otherwise he probably would have had a nervous breakdown halfway through moving in.

-As you transfer all your stuff into the apartment, you keep each other distracted by joking around, chattering about whatever comes to mind, and messing around with the placement of items around the apartment, once everything’s actually been brought in. It keeps you both relaxed enough to forget any worries, and it gives the two of you a good idea of how you want to have everything set up.

-While there’s no big rush, Leo will want to get as much set up and organized as possible. Having a completely unfamiliar living space is nerve wracking enough, but leaving all the items that give Leo a slight sense of home in boxes for days? Yeah, not a good idea. He will start freaking out a little, not at you exactly, but he’ll be more visibly shaky and unfocused, flittering from place to place while rambling absentmindedly. Helping him set everything up will keep you both busy and give him a sense of control, something he desperately needs in a place that doesn’t yet feel like his own. Even if you don’t get everything organized in a day, getting at least some of your items together will help him feel like he’s somewhat at home.

-The first night together is…a little rough. Now that you two have settled for the day, Leo’s anxiety is on full display, his trembling getting worse by the second. He’ll probably ask to watch a movie or YouTube together while cuddling, just so he gets a slight sense of familiarity. Your presence helps calm him down, especially when you hold him to your chest, promising him that the next few weeks of change will be less frightening than Leo thinks it’ll be.

-If you yourself are nervous about the move in, Leo will do his best to distract you, albeit clumsily. His own nerves may rub off on you a bit, but he’ll do his best to keep you distracted, or reassure you, or do whatever it is you need from him while moving around/settling in. He’ll try his best to hide his own anxiety in the event that you’re afraid, but some nervous habits of his will slip through the cracks here and there.

-Once it’s time to actually go to bed, Leo will curl up to you and try his best to get some shut eye. He’ll either be out like a light or not sleep at all, but either way he’s gonna hold on to you for dear life the whole night, desperate for the warmth you provide, and he’ll be hit with the sudden realization that he’s gonna get to spend every night like this, curled up next to you as he tries to sleep.

-Needless to say, he ends the day on a high note

Living together:

-Living with Leo isn’t all that stressful, thankfully. He’s a pretty decent roomate, and he does his best to make sure there are no issues between his living habits and yours. He also values communication, so he’s pretty quick to fix any problems that may arise, as long as you tell him maturely.

-Leo can be a pretty messy person, but now that he has someone he’s living with, he’ll do his best to keep your living space clean and tidy. He’d hate for you to feel obligated to clean up his messes, so he’ll clean up most of the time, fixing any issue as soon as you bring it up. Forgive him for the odd dish or discarded piece of clothing here or there, he’s doing his best.

-When it comes to a normal dinner routine, Leo will either order out or pop something easy into an oven or pot. He’s kinda lazy when it comes to making food, so unless you want to make something nicer, or unless you ask him to make something less basic, he’ll just take the easy route. He’ll definitely make enough for you though, he’s not gonna leave you hanging if you’re hungry.

-Leo will definitely give you your personal space when you need it, but he’s so happy that he gets to spend more time with you that he’ll try to hang out with you pretty much every day. He’ll back off if you tell him to, but he worries he’ll be neglecting you if he doesn’t make the effort to bond with you when he can.

-Don’t be surprised when Leo needs his space too though, he’s an introvert and tends to regain his energy by getting some alone time. If you guys have a guest bedroom, he’ll probably chill in there for a bit before rejoining you, or he’ll just crash in a room you aren’t in. It has nothing to do with you and everything to do with his energy levels, so don’t feel bad when he needs some alone time.

-Leo’s totally chill with you bringing friends over to the apartment, he’d just like a heads up before you do. In return, he’ll ask or warn you when he’s bringing his own buddies over so that you aren’t caught off guard.

-Despite your varying work schedules and the fact that you live together now, Leo will still try to go on actual dates regularly. He aims for every week, but he won’t beat himself up too much if your schedules don’t align well enough to support that all the time. He’s just happy to get any time with you, on a date or just at home.

-If possible, Leo would prefer to split the chores 50/50. He thinks it’s important that everyone be doing their share to keep the apartment clean, so he’ll be down to share the chores with you. If you work longer and more frequent hours than he does he’ll gladly do more of the chore load, but if you work about the same hours, he thinks it’s only fair you split everything evenly.

-With rent payments, it’s the same deal. Leo would like to split the pay 50/50, but if you make considerably less than him, he’ll take on more of the burden. As for you…well, if you make more than him, he’ll still want to pay at least 50%, simply because he doesn’t want to be unfair to you. Rules for me, not for thee, as Leo likes to think of it.

-Leo has a tendency to stay up really late when he doesn’t have something the next morning, so expect him to be up later than you on most nights. He’ll still snuggle up to you though, and having another person around with a normal sleep schedule might help fix his. Either way, he’ll try to be quiet once you’re asleep, creeping around the house in fear of waking you.

-Getting ready with you in the morning would be something Leo enjoys, although it really depends on your schedule and his. When you two get ready for work together, he’ll treat it like bonding time, helping you out with whatever you need and hugging you whenever it won’t be inconvenient.

-Expect hello/goodbye kisses every time you go to and from work, Leo loves making sure you know he’ll miss you while you’re apart, no matter how short the time apart is.

-Overall, living with Leo isn’t all that stressful. He doesn’t go out a whole ton besides when he’s working, and he’s pretty chill most of the time, so for the most part, there aren’t any major issues. He hopes you won’t regret moving in with him, because he sure doesn’t regret moving in with you. With any luck, you’ll eventually be able to score a house together, although that might take awhile.

Hope you guys enjoyed!
