•Morpheus Being Touch Starved•
I feel like before Dream was captured he was less inclined to crave the touch of others, even your touch, his eternal love.
But, a century spent locked in a glass cage can leave even an anthropomorphic being wanting.
So, when Morpheus was finally free and back in his realm, when he was finally reunited with you again...
He began to act differently than how he was before.
Being deprived of your touch for so long against his will left him aching for you.
He made a promise to himself that he would never be far from you again.
The Lord of Dreams does not need to sleep but when he's able he likes to stay in bed with you all night and until you wake up.
He contents himself with visiting your dreams while you're asleep and keeps an arm wrapped around you, pale fingers gently tracing any bare skin you may be showing.
He stays, despite any busy schedule, til your eyes flutter open from the morning light.
While walking with you Dream will keep a hand on the small of your back.
If you're enthralled in a book in the library your attention is often swayed from the pages when he reaches over and gently tucks a strand of hair behind your ear.
Morpheus is never going to be big on pda so you've never received a kiss on the lips or anything more heated while in the company of others.
But, if you're out in the Waking World with him, beyond the safety of his realm, he will stay incredibly close to you.
Even if it's just the side of his arm touching yours while you're walking together or every once in awhile your hands bump against each others. He just likes to subtly remind you that he's within reach and vice versa, he likes reminding himself you're close, too.
The Ruler of Nightmares will frequently kiss the top of your head or softly bump his forehead against yours.
He will let you run your fingers absently through his ever constant bed head.
While alone his more reserved nature will crumble before you and he will relish the feel of you.
The warmth of your skin and touch of your body against his is his personal dream come true.
He will practically devour you everyday, in both your dreams and reality, so that you are never left wanting again.
Of no volition of his own, Dream was taken from you for over a century and that has honestly left you both fragile and hungry for each other always.
Though he is never satiated.
He will indulge you in your every whim. Be it playing with his hair or having him lay his head down on your lap all the way to you leaving hickeys and marks upon his body (though they do disappear immediately)
Any touch you grace him with he savors far more than you'll ever know.
The only time Morpheus truly feels happy is when you're in his arms.
When he can feel that you're really here, touching him, with him. Where he can protect you and keep you safe forever.
You are his home, even more so than the realm he created.
