Excuses to make two characters cuddle
when they're not that close to cuddle on their own
(CW: alcohol mention, character's death)
-----------------------
- A is delirious and has a pretty bad nightmare. They call for a dead family member/long lost love/friend. In their sleep they grab hold of the arm of B that lies next to them. A calms down and the nightmare is gone. B tenses up, but doesn't wake A up.
- It's cold and they have to warm eachother up. The awkward: "tell me if you feel uncomfortable" "No- I mean- are you? I can move backwards-" "No, it's okay. Can I place my hand on your back or...? It goes numb when you lie on it" "Oh, gosh, sorry"
- A and B get drunk. A wakes up cuddled to B's chest. They move to their own bed and never talk about it again. It works great if A and B don't like eachother at all or are enemies to lovers.
- B is a big spoon that needs to hug the pillow to sleep well. But after they left home for the adventure, they instinctively grab the nearest thing every night. A bag with supplies. A pillow of their mates. Their mates. They're never aware they are doing this. A's too awkward to tell them.
- (A:) "Whaat?? US?? NOT LiKing eachother???? noooOo! That's crazy!!" squishes B hard in hug and grins with anger (B:) "NooooOo! I just- LOVE THIS GUY!" B jabs A in the ribs while laughing.
