shoulder massages
you've been moving your shoulders and neck a bit, trying to loosen some of the tension that build up over time
from stress or work or maybe just sitting at your desk all day
what matters is, that it hurts and you can't seem to get rid of it
so he walks over to you and places his hands on your shoulders
he presses a kiss to the top of your head and starts to gently apply pressure and move his thumbs
he doesn't say anything, just wants to make sure you feel good
let's be honest, this man spend years without receiving or showing affection. no real positive physical touch, let alone verbal affection
but he tries
he's also very touch starved but doesn't know how to properly communicate/express his needs for hugs and all that
it took him some time to get to the point of reaching out for you first, but he has so much love to show once he learns how
erik is possessive as well as protective
so most of the time when he gets like that, he will stand right behind you and glare at everyone daring to look your way
and sometimes, if he gets especially jealous, he will sneak an arm around your waist and hold you close to his side
while still glaring, obviously

showing his love: quality time and gift giving
he enjoys cooking together or playing chess, even just being in the same room together
he makes little trinkets and sometimes even jewellery out of metal
to an outsider it might seem like he doesn't care much or that he's inattentive, but he listens
he makes sure you never run out of your favourite tea, snacks, alcohol etc. and whatever else you mention, will magically appear sooner or later in your room
he is the type of person to come home with an absurd amount of whatever you mentioned liking the day before
also, that man is touch starved as fuck
so while he might not actively reach out to you, in the beginning at least, he does enjoy receiving physical affection
meaning, the way he feels loved/likes to receive love is physical touch
i guarantee you this man will melt when you run your fingers through his hair or snuggle up against him
when you two fall asleep together he will hold you close in his arms so that he knows you're safe
he absolutely adores it when you two stand close together and you reach your hand out to cup his cheek, letting him lean into it
whenever sitting besides each other he will put his arm up behind you on the backrest
he would never admit it but he definitely is a little bit disappointed if you don't lean into him when he does it
