⊹ ࣪ ˖͙͘͡★ | shadow milk cookie was really affectionate with you , lately !!
you were in the kitchen , when he came up behind you .
you barely have time to react before his arms are around you . it’s not one of those casual , one - armed hugs . no , this is a real hug — the kind that swallows you whole . his arms slide securely around your waist , pulling you close , and in that instant , the world feels smaller , quieter .
then he nuzzles into your hair .
a shaky breath leaves your lips . his warmth presses against you , his heartbeat slow and steady against your chest . it’s overwhelming in the best way , like being wrapped in the softest , safest cocoon . his fingers rest lightly against your back , not gripping but holding , as if you’re something fragile , something to be cherished .
you close your eyes . his scent surrounds you , familiar and comforting . the way he buries his face into your hair makes your heart stutter, like he’s found home in this embrace .
neither of you speak . you don’t have to . the way he holds you , the way his arms tighten just slightly when you shift — it’s enough .
