I was thinking about 33 because I, too, would like to be picked up by him but honestly Iāve been staring at those hugs for too long and they all look cute as heck so if thereās another one you feel like you want to do, feel free to go with it!
- WIth Boba, affection comes slowly.
- He doesnāt intend your being around to be permanentā you donāt mean to stay as long as you do.
- But you become a part of the household.
- When Boba starts to offer you affection, itās a pat on the shoulder.
- When youāre concerned about Boba, or youāre glad to see him come back from a job, you wait for him to hand you his helmet
- You canāt just reach out for Boba, even if you wanted to. And you want to.
- But when Bobaās had a close callā unarmored, caught off-guard, and he returns to you in one piece, you canāt hold yourself back
- You barrel into his arms.
- Heās there to catch you. Heās sturdy, heās steady, heās fine. And it takes him a moment, but he curls his arms around you.
- When neither of you let go, he lifts you just a little, drawing you back to settle on his throne. You sit on his lap and tuck your head under his chin.
- Neither of you move for some time.
- You donāt hesitate to reach for him after that.
- When he returns from missions now, you hug him, and he pats you lightly on the back, as if to say, āIām fine,ā Where he wonāt voice it.
- In the evenings, after heās spent long days holding court and dealing with less-than pleasant sorts, youāll meet him at the doorway to the throne room, a hand out for his helmet.
- Heāll pass it to you before curling his arm around your shoulders and steering you toward the kitchen.
- When he goes off-world for the first time after youāve begun to touch, you find yourself hesitating, lingering at the bottom of the ramp of the Slave I as he and Shand load the cargo.
- Shand will excuse herself (convenient š), and Boba will come and join you at the bottom of the ramp.
- Heāll tell you that theyāll be back in a few days, and youāll nod, lowering your eyes.
- Boba will tuck a finger under your chin and tip your head back up, offering you a comforting little smile.
- And youāll hesitate before you surge up for a hug.
- To your relief, there wonāt be a moment of hesitation before Bobaās arms wrap around you, one of his hands resting on the back of your head.
- You close your eyes, taking a deep breath and committing the feeling to memory.
- āBe careful,ā You mutter.
- Boba leans away and rests his forehead against yours for a moment. You grin, nudging your nose against his before he pulls away entirely, hands falling from you.
- You canāt help your worry as you watch the Slave I lift into the atmosphere
- And you canāt help the way you run to Boba when he comes off of the ship days later.
- You donāt care that Shand is watching, and Fett seems not to care, either.
- He draws you into his chest, a chuckle rattling through his vocoder as he twirls you around before setting you back on your feet.
- āWhy do you never hug me like that?ā Shand teases as she strolls past the two of you.
