You had been a good hybrid ever since they first met you, but you were a bit uneasy about touch. Even being picked up usually got someone to be nipped at, but you never bit them unless you truly weren't left alone. You didn't like being held or coddled, but rather the verbal tactics to anything.

But eventually, it felt like too much, even for your little body. You frantically craved touch yet you didn't know who to go to until you saw Alejandro settling in for bed. He felt like a safe person; he was always taking care of you and never yelled. In fact, his way of scolding you was just a gentle time-out. You liked something he didn't? He'd try learning it. If not, he'd politely request something else. But he was still gentle with you.

And eventually, you decided to wiggle yourself under Alejandro's arms, feeling as his body stiffened as you lied beside him. This would be the first time you'd let someone hold you, and it wasn't even a soft pet. You desperately wanted touch. It felt like this would help so many things that went wrong.
