♖ Scara was never one for physical touch — in fact, he absolutely despised it. He would grimace whenever you touched him, and flinch when you tried to give him something. He was never sociable and you were pretty sure he absolutely despised your company. It's not that he hated you, despite that being his go to phrase he would mumble whenever you pestered him with your antics, but he really didn't know what else to say or do. You were his only friend in the Sumeru Akademiya and you were always so friendly and chatty towards him, giving him little gifts and keeping him company during break periods. He wasn't good at receiving or reciprocating affection at all.

♖ But when you came to his dorm-room all teary-eyed one night, trembling and about to burst into tears, there's no way he could deny you when you asked for a hug.

♖ "You ..... seriously want a hug?" He asked, an edge of disgust in his clipped tone, arms folded as he stared at you like you were some sort of worthless maggot.
