Hades is a God of immense composure and grace. Having a partner physically attached to him does not faze him in the slightest. He views it as a natural extension of his duty to protect you, especially if you're a human.

He treats your presence as a sign of status. When he walks through the halls of Helheim, he moves with a slow, deliberate pace to ensure you are never jostled or uncomfortable. He often rests a hand on your shoulder or waist, grounding you as he conducts his kingly affairs.

In the quiet of his throne room, he is surprisingly soft. He will often read reports or study maps while you lean against him. He finds your constant presence soothing, as it reminds him that even in the cold depths of the Underworld, he is never truly alone. 

Hades wears an ornate accessory over his right eye. Because of this slight visual limitation on one side, he prefers you to be attached to his left side. It keeps you firmly within his primary line of sight, allowing him to subtly look down and check on you with a soft, affectionate glance whenever he pleases. 

If anyone dares to stare or act disrespectfully, a single cold glance from Hades is enough to silence them. He considers your physical proximity a sacred trust.

And if you were to ever pull away or be not as affectionate as you were before? He'd be distraught. 

For someone so used to you being in his personal space not that he'd ever mind, the sudden and total lack of physical touch from you is a massive psychological shift.

Hades swears that he feels ill when he doesn't get his daily dose of hugs and kisses.

​"Do not apologize for your proximity, beloved. If the Fates decreed that my shadow must mingle with yours for eternity, then they have finally done something right."

Hercules

This man LIVESSS for physical touch

Hercules is naturally affectionate. Being physically inseparable is a dream come true for him, as he thrives on physical reassurance and the ability to keep his loved ones safe within his reach.

He is incredibly proud to have you by his side. Whether he is training or walking through the streets of Valhalla, he is constantly checking in on you. He might carry you if the terrain is rough or if you are tired (when will it be my turn/hj). 

Because you are always in his immediate personal space, Hercules becomes hyper-aware of his movements. He is naturally a bit clumsy, but around you, he practices intense precision. He will hold your hand or rest his arm against yours with the absolute lightest touch, constantly asking, "Am I squeezing too hard? Are you okay?"

Hercules is a "big spoon" type. He LOVES to hold you close, often wrapping his massive arms (🤤) around you while he talks about his day or his hopes for humanity. He is very mindful of your comfort, constantly adjusting his posture so you have the best view or the most support.

He is fiercely protective. Because you are always with him, he feels he can shield you from any danger.

Hercules views your bond as a partnership of the soul, and he would fight any god or monster to ensure you remain safe and happy.

He never forgets his roots as a human boy named Alcides. If you are a mortal, he looks at you with a profound, aching tenderness.

He knows the gods look down on humanity, so he goes out of his way to make you feel like the most important being in Valhalla. He proudly introduces you to Zeus, Loki, and Ares as his equal in every way.

Because you are attached to Heracles, Ares treats you like an automatic best friend. He will bring over giant platters of divine food, constantly weeping about "how beautiful your bond is."

"With you right here against my side, the world doesn’t feel heavy at all. In fact, it feels light as a feather. I think as long as I have your heartbeat matching mine, there isn't a single thing in this universe I couldn't face."
