Steven @ Connor

After your non-human friend sees you pampering your pet, he looks at you with disgust and says, “Why are you letting this creature order you around?”

How Cuddle-able are Your OCs? (tag)

An unexpected tag from @paeliae-occasionally but a fun one!

Rules: Rate your OCs based on how they handle cuddling/being cuddled on a scale of 0-10!

I'm locked on Hidnight rn so you get more of my favorite trauma sink!

-------

Connor: 1/10 or 9/10. Physical touch is a bit of a set off for him because it reminds him of his mother. Hugs were always the thing that got him to stay no matter how bad the abuse got. He'd think "I can take it. I don't want to give up what little good I have for another unknown. I don't want to be the one to tear this family apart." Alternatively, when he grows to really love and trust the Ibarras, their penchant for showing affection via physical touch becomes a grounding and healing thing for him. But only the Ibarras. Nobody else.

Steven: 6 or 7/10. He'll insist over and over that he's tough and can take care of himself (a consequence of being the baby of the family) but he'll never deny you a hug if you ask for it. Steven and Connor sometimes sleep while holding hands.

Elouise: 8/10. She's 6'6", she could bench press you without breaking a sweat, she's a stoic, intelligent badass... and she's a major softie. You might not see her crack a smile but inside her head she's getting all flustered. And don't worry, she won't snap you in half when she squeezes you.

Teagan: 10/10. VERY cuddly. She'll walk up behind you, wrap her arms around your neck, and press her face into your hair at random times. She'll constantly pull you closer if you're standing near her and she is ALWAYS the big spoon.

Alarick: 10/10. He's subtler and more self-controlled than Teagan but he's exactly the same. Pulls you closer, lets you lean against him on a bench or couch, will let almost anyone hug him if they ask and maybe even if they didn't.

Now I'm very curious to others' responses.
