I want an enemies to lovers in an hospital with Harry, head of the ER and Louis, the hot new cardiac surgeon… and they cross paths all the time and despise each other because H is reckless and stubborn while Louis wants him to stop being so intense….

And you know what?

They fuck all the time during their shifts to release tension after saving a patient in extremis or losing one… idc… and they don’t talk about it afterwards… they don’t kiss, they don’t have little touch… until one day… one day where H lets his guard down and allow Louis closer because they’ve lost a patient, a child… and H will resent Louis after because he can’t be weak… he can’t… he’s Dr Harry fucking Styles and Louis makes him weak (for him but he doesn’t understand that…)

and and and ….

too scared to ask for affection

testing the waters with “casual” brushes

“please, don’t go…”

meeting a naturally physically affectionate person and being thrown for a loop

freezing up when receiving physical affection and not knowing how to react

being uncomfortable when they do receive affection

seeking out hobbies associated with physical contact (dancing, wrestling, …)

watching someone hug and feeling envy

taking long, hot showers to simulate touch

hugging self in bed to self soothe

trying to replace human affection with animal companions

learning to ask for hugs and cuddles

once they feel comfortable with it, they become insatiable for touch

(is also sometimes called “skin hunger” and i just think that’s sick)

... to comfort. warm arms embracing you, pressing your head into their chest, listening to their calming heart beat, whispering that it will all be just fine.

... to reassure. a solid embrace, holding you up. tight, but never too tight. ready to lean on.

... to welcome you home. familiar arms wrapped around your body, breathing in their scent, feeling right at home where you belong.

... to hide their face. face turned away in the crook of their neck. not wanting to betray themselves, not ready to be seen, to be truly known.

... to rejoice. a fierce embrace, lifting you off your feet, spinning you around, laughter in your ear.

... to threaten. arms holding tight, just a little too tight. searching for a way to escape, but being locked in.

🍋 The music video:

because they brought home your favourite snack

because they decide to stay in tonight together

when they hand you the last bite of their favourite dessert

because they remembered how you take your coffee without asking

when they notice you're overwhelmed and quietly take over a chore

right after they tuck the blanket around your shoulders

mumbling it half-asleep, not even fully aware they said it

when they kiss your forehead before leaving

because they save you from a spider

when you laugh at something they said and they realise how much they adore you

because you're excited about something small and they love seeing you light up
