To the fanfic writers who talk about a character who is touch starved, it feels unrealistic for them to go from never allowing touch to being obsessed with it. Make it slow, draw it out. It’s not just about affection is about trust as well, and that comes slowly. Start with light touches, lingering stares, hands on shoulders and backs that make them go tense and then relax. Take your time with it, and you’ll find that the reward for when they do crave that touch all the more rewarding.
