how would he react to reader complimenting his carapace/legs, cuddling with him, just generally being super affectionate?

centipede yan x reader

everyone loves him, i do find it really funny that if reader was this affectionate he'd have such a bad time

Caleb had always been the calm and collected type, nonchalant, one would say. There was nothing getting past him whatsoever.

"I bet that if I lay on top of you, you could wrap all your legs around me like a hug cocoon," you say in passing, like it was nothing?!

Of course you didn't see how red his face became afterwards because he brushed you off and quickly made his way to his room. Why do you do these things? You toy with his mind, and you don't even realize it, do you?

Your hand slides down the back of his tail. “Caleb, do you-”

“W-what the hell do you think you’re doing?!” His whole body wants to curl up on itself as he looks at you, totally mortified, while you just blink at him, confused.

“Huh? Did I do something wrong?”

“Are you!-? You can’t just!- God, you can’t just touch me there!” he snaps, spitting every word through his teeth

“Oh, I’m so sorry.” You yank your hand back, eyes wide. “Did I hurt you?”

“No, genius, you didn’t hurt me. J-just forget it,” he grumbles, crossing his arms and refusing to look at you.

“Are you sure? It looked like I really upset you.”

"no you didn't...nevermind"

This wasn’t how it was supposed to go he was supposed to be the one in control, the one teasing you, not the other way around. And what’s worse, you don’t even realize you’re getting under his skin half the time; you drive him up the wall without even trying!

And it was always something with you poking his cheek, messing with his tail, brushing your hand over his legs, as you owned him!?

It was nearly impossible to get anything done in the apartment with you constantly in his space.

He hated you!..ok that was an exaggeration, but when you were the one doing the initiating, he felt like he was handing over the power to you and he absolutely despised that. Sure, the idea of cocooning you up in his legs and never letting you go was amazing! But not when you asked for it!?
