Spencer hated physical contact. He is a germaphobe, after all. But when you came into his life, he gave you all the physical contact you needed, even more.

When it was just the two of you, he couldn't help but being clingy: he always craved your touch, he loved when you stroked his hair and sometimes it was too much, even for you. But he was too adorable so you never denied him some good affection.

Then, prison happened. He was broken inside, and you were too. He suffered a lot even if he really didn't tell you anything about this. Luckily, after three long months of detention, he was finally released, and you were the happiest. You were so glad to finally have your Spencer back.

The first weeks after his return were difficult: he didn't talk at all and he didn't even touch you. Just after some time things started to go back to how they were, but he is different now: he is a lot more touchy and possessive than he ever was. He literally couldn't stop touching you, even in public. He always need to have at least one of his hand somewhere when you are standing beside him.

It was like he needed to know you were real, too. After three months of not seeing you, he wanted to touch you all the time. He needed to feel your presence.

That's why, while you both are currently hanging out with his teammates at their usual pub, he has his hand on your inner thigh, while he's normally talking to his friends.
