Tom never liked to hold you. he’d only do so on special occasions, such as aftercare or if you were upset.

other times, he wouldn’t think twice about not giving you any form of physical contact. he didn’t deem it necessary.

one day you weren’t feeling well, and came back to your dorm early to go to sleep. Tom later let himself into your dorm, and found you in bed, arms protectively wrapped around a teddy bear.

he stares at you for a moment before taking the bear out of your arms.
