Gender: gn!Reader
Malleus
- Stroking your head, especially if he is helping you calm down or you are being cute. His touch is gentle and affectionate.
- Sitting you in his lap and holds you close to his chest. Malleus wants to make you feel loved and protected. He will sometimes rest his chin on your head or leave gentle kisses on the top of your head.
Lilia
- Rubbing/stroking your back. He definitely does this if you are upset or angry in hopes of helping you calm down. But if you are spending time with him, he will unintentionally stroke your back.
- Playing with your hair. If you have long hair, Lilia likes to curl a few strands around his fingers and leave soft kisses or caress it. He will even help you do your hair if you ask him. Touching your soft locks helps him relax as well.
Silver
- Using your lap as a pillow. He really enjoys taking naps with his head on your lap – not only does it help him relax more, but he also gets better sleep.
- Stroking your skin, be it your cheeks, your hand, your arms…Silver likes touching your skin. Sometimes, he just wants to make sure you are really there beside him and he is not dreaming.
Sebek
- Wrapping one arm around your shoulder as you lay your head on his shoulder or chest, especially when you are upset. While holding you close, Sebek also strokes your shoulder while blushing.
- Bashfully kissing your cheek and pretending you are forcing him to do it. In reality, Sebek really likes giving you kisses, but he chooses to kiss your cheek as a safe spot. He never wants you to feel like he is crossing any limits.
Leona
- Wrapping his tail around you, be it around your arm, leg, or waist…Leona gets a sense of comfort knowing that you are close to him. Even more, allowing him to wrap his tail around you tells him you are his.
- Nuzzling face in your hair or neck, especially when you are asleep beside him. As a lion, he will only nuzzle someone who he loves dearly, and this is his way of showing how much you mean to him.
Ruggie
- Hugging you from behind and tickling you a little. He does this when he wants to surprise you or if you are in a bad mood and he needs to cheer you up.
- Standing behind you with his hands on your shoulder (or in private on your hips). No matter the time or day, Ruggie always feels the need to be close to you. In public, he doesn’t want to touch any part of you that might be seen as inappropriate PDA, so he sticks to touching your shoulders.
- Cuddling with you. Ruggie loves feeling your warmth and making you feel safe and loved.
Jack
- Wrapping his arm around your shoulder and holding you close to him. This is also a way of telling others that you are his and don’t even think about getting close to you.
- Carrying you around, be it in his arms or on his back. Jack likes to feel your body close to him, and he loves you so much that his mind never goes towards the gutter, even if you are close to him,
unless you choose to take things in that direction.
Riddle
- Resting his forehead against yours as he cups your face and strokes your cheeks. It takes him a very long time to be able to do this without feeling shy or embarrassed.
- Hold your hand while lacing his fingers in yours. It’s an innocent way to show his affection, and Riddles sometimes like placing kissing on the back of your hand and on your wrist.
Trey
- Stroking your thigh. No, he is not trying to do anything else. Your thigh’s skin is so smooth and soft that he likes touching it. When he needs to calm you down, he tends to rest his hand on your thigh and gently pats it.
- Giving you massages, especially on your shoulders, neck, and back. He is very talented with his hands.
Cater
- Playfully leaving soft kisses on your face. If you are in a bad mood or sad, his kisses will be more tender.
- Hugs of all kinds. Cater is a very touchy-feel type of man, and he absolutely loves to give you all sorts of hugs, especially back hugs. Sometimes, when he gets excited and when you two are alone, he will even give you tackle hugs (with caution to avoid injuring you).
Ace
- Slinging his arm around your shoulder and letting it casually rest there. Ace just wants to keep you close to his side without making you feel like he is being clingy.
- Sitting close to you. No matter where you two are, Ace will always sit very close to you and make sure at least some part of him is touching you, be it his shoulder, arm, or leg. He wants you to always know he is there for you.
Deuce
- Hugs from behind with his arms wrapped around your waist, and he would bury his face on the top of your head or neck.
- Deuce is too shy to show affection, even if you two have been dating for a while, so he tends to hide his expressions when touching you.

Azul
- Holding your hand and caressing it. He likes how your hand feels in his hand, and if he sees you enjoy it, it will make him even happier.

Floyd

Kalim
- Everything! He is a touchy-feel man who loves to touch you playfully and gently whenever he can.
- His favorites are cuddles. Nothing beats holding you close and letting your scent and warmth envelop his body.
- Surprise, tackle hugs! He will tackle you onto a soft surface and give you a bear hug. If Kalim learns you don’t like this, he will try his best to resist. If you enjoy his playful hugs, nothing will make him happier.
Jamil
- Cheek pinches. Jamil will pinch your cheeks whenever you do anything cute, innocent, or playful. Sometimes, he will even pinch your nose. If he learns you don’t like nose pinches, he will pinch your nose even more just to tease you.
- Massages. No, it’s nothing intimate unless you are in a serious relationship with him. His massages are more to help you relax and loosen up after a long, difficult day.
- Tickling. Jamil likes to tickle you, especially if you are ticklish. He will catch you off guard because he wants to hear your squeals and laughter.
Vil
- Gentle strokes of your cheek, but only after washing his hands thoroughly. He wouldn’t want to cause any breakouts on your skin.
- In more intimate moments, Vil likes to rest his forehead against yours while he plays with your hair. He also whispers sweet words to you, from compliments to encouraging words.
- Vil dislikes showing much PDA, but at times, he likes to tuck your hair behind your ears while talking to you. Sometimes, when he is lost in thought, he gently twirls your strands in his index finger.
Rook
- He likes pulling you close, wrapping one around your waist, and dancing with you. In public, he will be a bit more respectful and not do anything that will draw more attention than needed. But in private, he will slow dance with you and place kisses on your lips and forehead.
- Back hugs. Rook is big on surprise back hugs as it is his favorite type of hug. There’s just something about having your back pressed against him that makes him feel relaxed.
- Surprise kiss on your shoulder. If Rook wants to get your attention, he sometimes pecks your shoulder. He likes the surprised expression you show him, but most of all, he likes your red cheeks.
Epel
- Epel is a bit shy when it comes to touch, so his way of showing affection is more on the innocent side. He likes to hold your hand, but in public, he likes to brush the back of his hand against your hand.
- Cheek kisses. His kiss is quick and light, and he mainly uses this to greet you but never in public. Epel doesn’t like showing much PDA; more like he doesn’t want others to see his affection for you as it is not for your eyes.
- Forehead kisses. Something about forehead kisses makes Epel feel manly. He specifically likes to give forehead kisses when you are sad, angry, or upset. It’s his way of helping you calm down.
Idia
- Cheek pokes. Idia likes to poke your cheek. Sometimes, he does it out of boredom, to get your attention, and other times to annoy you if you are not talking to him.
- Resting his forehead on your shoulder while hugging you from behind. That’s Idia’s way of showing that he trusts you enough to be vulnerable around you. Give him head pats in this position, and he will be secretly happy.
- Resting his head on your lap. To get Idia to use your lap as a pillow, you would have to first gain his trust. Even then, he doesn’t do it often. Maybe if you ask him, Idia might use your lap as a pillow more.
Bonus:
Rollo
- Head pats. Being tall, Rollo can reach most people’s heads without struggle, so he likes to give head pats. He mainly does this to calm you down or when you act cute. He will use head pats to ‘get back’ at you if he learns you don’t like it.
- Touching the side of your head. Most of the time, Rollo gently rests his hand on the side of your head to show affection. He will stroke your cheek with his thumb to make you feel extra special.
