Imagine your shy F/O wanting to hold your hand for the first time but being far too nervous to make the first move. You soon begin to notice; the occasional brush against your hand as you walk together, or their eyes lingering on your fingers before quickly looking away.
One day, you decide to make the first move instead. You quietly hold out your hand, and after a brief pause, they shyly place theirs in yours. Your fingers intertwine, your thumb gently brushing over their skin in reassurance. Their face turns bright red, but they can’t hide their warm smile. They look so relieved and genuinely happy.
