“say you won’t let go” - some touch starved scenarios

prompt list by @novelbear

heart pounding whenever the other does so much as to hold onto their wrist while guiding them through a crowd

one just casually sitting down on the other's lap and they start internally freaking the hell out

hesitantly tugging the other's fabric of their shirt or sleeve, testing the waters

^^ the other notices so they pull them into a hug, smiling as they just watch them melt

"wait, don't go, please.."

"is this okay?" "it's more than okay."

already barely holding it together as they're getting their hand held but then they feel that reassuring squeeze and they just can't

wearing the others' clothes so that it can at least feel like they're hugging them, even for just a moment

feeling so lonely that they have to call their lover/friend, just to get a sense and reminder that they're still there

^ trying and failing to hold back their tears as they do so

"can i have one more hug?" "aw, babe you don't have to ask, c'mere..."

when the other holds onto their waist briefly as they're passing by and it just send chills down their spine

breaking down mid-hug because they just needed this so much

their breath hitching whenever the other gets a little closer

^ feeling crushed when that action is taken as a sign of discomfort, and they watch them slowly back off

holding onto a stuffed animal/pillow, imagining that it's their lover in their embrace instead

one leaning their head onto the other's shoulder suddenly and they just freeze

"i wasn't sure how much longer i could have taken this..."

Touch starved / comfort prompts :)

[a/n: if anyone has anyone prompts ideas or wants to see me write for any specific prompts (for any specific characters?) pls don’t hesitate to pop into my asks box :D and if you end up using any of my prompts pls tage me, i would love to read them!]

that big hug in the airport when character A comes home for a holiday. B runs into their arms and squeezes them so tight that A is thinking they might break a rib.

character B feeling character A’s hand on the small of their back while going through a crowd.

character A knows exactly when character B needs cuddles. long day at work? cuddles. didn’t get enough sleep? cuddles.

Character B is away on a trip (either with friends or for work) and Character A is laying awake in their empty bed. the only thing that can get A to sleep each night is a long phone call with their favourite person. telling B about their day calms them down enough for sleep. and they do it all again the next day.

“we don’t have to talk about yet it if you don’t want to. we can just lay here like this, just relax into my arms.” one whispers in the others ear.

Character A is worried about coming off as too clingy and first. Once Character B realised how much A thrives on physical touch, they make sure they set aside enough time each day to just hold them.

If they ever go to bed while in an argument Character B still wraps an arm around Character A, knowing that they won’t sleep without it and to let them know they still love them although they’re arguing.

List of touch starved prompts 

Character A clinging onto Character B whenever they’re together, not wanting to let go.

Heart palpitations whenever Character B so much as brushes their hand against Character A’s.

Feeling warm all over whenever Character B initiates any sort of physical contact with them.

“To what do I owe the pleasure of being hugged so tightly by you?” 

“Can you [insert act of physical contact] with me? Please?”

Character A craving for Character B to have some sort of physical contact with them and whenever they do get that physical contact, they physically melt because of it. 

Mind racing with about a million thoughts whenever Character B touches them.

Daydreaming about Character B cuddling them, day in, day out.

“What do you need from me right now?” “Well, I just… I need you to hold me.” 

“Is this too much?” “It’s not. I’m just… I’m not used to this is all.”

Touch starved promps?

Can do :)

Touch starved

B is scared of coming off as overly clingy to their new partner A, but they just can't let go. A finds it adorable.

Because of their upbringing, A insists that they don't need to get physical affection from anyone. All changes when A wraps them in a surprise hug.

A unable to hold back tears after they get to cuddle for the first time in their life.

B squeezing A's hand like crazy, terrified of letting go.

A finally collected enough courage to snuggle to B's side. They have a hard time staying composed when B wraps their arm around them.

Tingling running through B's skin whenever A touches them, leaving them craving for more.

A is terrified of being touched after a recent bad experience. And yet, they crave B's touch more than anything else.

B freezing in shock and then breaking down when A unexpectedly hugs them as they can't remember the last time getting genuinely hugged.

An Answer To A Problem

They flinched when they touched them. Villain had always looked so stoic and unnerved, but this time, they flinched. 

"Scared of me?" Hero cooed and pressed a hand to their chest, weapon raised to their neck. 

"...Not even for a second." Their eyes subtly dashed between the placement of their hand against their still heaving chest and back down the alley. 

Hero raised a brow at them confidently. Villain was good at lying, but not enough to fool them this time. They pressed them further into the wall, where Villain's constant cocky smile showed up to dismiss any ideas of fear. 

"I had taken you for a tougher criminal than this."

Villain smirked. "Well, let's not assume too much." Their smile wavered briefly as Hero's hand crawled closer to their neck. Villain bit their lip as a sudden burst of thrill came over them, their hands still innocently raised to their head without weapons. 

"And what happened to that playful attitude of yours earlier? What did you say you would do to me, hm?"

Villain shut their eyes regretfully, a wave of heat appearing along their cheeks and down their neck. There was nothing sweeter in this world than getting the opportunity to have Hero's full attention. Their gloved hand clasped onto their chin, smoothing it down as soft eyes gazed at them. 

Hero tilted their head, "You said you were going to pin me up on a wall and what?"

"Alright, alright, you got me..." They took a deep breath as soon as Hero placed the cold edge of the knife on their cheek, forcing their head to turn in their direction. 

Hero tucked one of Villain's loose strands of hair behind their ear, noting their relaxing shoulders. They ran a hand to their cheek, calmly stroking it as they shuddered under their touch. "Well, you've got a nice reaction to me." 

The criminal stayed still, too focused on not giving away their plans. "Hmmm."

Leading a life of crimes had made Villain foreign to the touch of anyone. They couldn't recall the last time they let their guard down, and Hero was a great distraction from their loneliness. 

They leaned in like a puppy leaning closer to its carer. Hero analyzed them for a while longer, enjoying Villain's rare look of helplessness for once. A slanted smile showed up, and Hero unexpectedly stopped. "You're touched-starved." They realized, and their eyes lit up. "I should've known! Is that why you always prefer hand-to-hand combat?"

"What?" Villain snapped out of their haze, their ears burning, "That's not why--"

Hero chuckled and rubbed their hand along their arm, "Yeah, but this gets you dopamine, doesn't it? Wow... a big bad offender like you--"

"Shut up!" They slapped their hand away, embarrassed. What would their comrades think of this? What were they thinking!?

Villain internally berated themselves shamefully. Hero wouldn't be one to put them in front of the entire world for becoming so desperate. Their intentions were generally good, but they had an itching feeling they'd use this against them.

Hero moved away, "I think it's cute you're coming to me for help to relieve your stress." They paused, idling for a second. "Though, I was thinking of other ways." 

They sighed. 

It wasn't like this initially; Villain never realized how horrible it had gotten for them over the following few weeks after joining the Villain's League and cooperating in everything they could. Their focus was solely on every mission, and eventually, by the end of those long nights, Villain was alone again. It wouldn't be wrong to say they found joy in their work because it was a distraction from their aching need to be embraced or even looked at, not with fear but with something else. 

That was until they saw a chance with Hero. They never asked why Villain was so insistent on fighting without weapons. Which was, on their part, their fault for leading Hero to believe they were trying to engage in... seduction. It was a stupid excuse to seek assistance in their search for contact with anything. 

They placed a hand to their face and groaned. "I'm not entertaining this."

"I don't mind," Hero grinned.

"What?"

Hero shrugged, "I don't know, maybe we can find a middle ground for the both of us. I get you all to myself," They bit their lip to stop a laugh, "and I'll satisfy your terrible need to be touched."

"Don't say it like that!" They blushed feverishly again, "I don't need anything! Whatever it is I can just steal it!" They patted their waist and pulled a short knife. Hero swiftly jumped out of their way as Villain rushed them. 

"Wait-- Villain!" Hero dodged a blow from their nemesis and clashed against the tall tin garbage cans. They stood up and blocked a kick. "Are you going to kidnap me!?"

"Oh, don't flatter yourself. I'm only going to kill you."

They laughed shakingly, "So, you're so hopeless that you're willing to kill me, because why? You don't like the thought of me giving anyone else attention?"

Villain grasped onto the short knife and narrowly missed Hero, cutting their suit only from the side. They quickly grabbed Hero by the waist and pulled them back before they could get away. Their back meeting Villain's chest as the blade rested under their chin. Hero gasped. 

"You know what? Maybe I will keep you after all."

The saviour smiled, a rosy colour tinging their cheeks. "Ehe... Well, if you wanted me so bad~..." 

It took a lot of power not to feel numb being so close to Hero and acting as if the tiny space between them left no effect, but it was painfully evident from their rival. They licked their lips knowingly. Their hand sifted through Villain's hair, who stood right behind them, freezing up immediately. 

"I'm not going anywhere, darling. I'm all yours."

Villain hesitated. 

"...Yeah, no, I'm starting to think you want me to kidnap you."

They laughed nervously. Well, it was circumstantial, but they didn't mind.

Soft And Sweet - Ellie Sutton/Jude Matheson

A/N: Part 3/4 for @jmathesonandsiblings ' prompts from the touch-starved prompt promptlist. Jude is (obviously) theirs, Ellie is my sweet girl.

“Your hands are so soft…” Jude’s voice is soft even as he lifts Ellie’s hands, soft skin caressed with gentle kisses before he pulls her a little closer, curling her into his arms and smiling at the soft laugh that escapes her at his lips pressed to her hairline, her hands curling into his jacket just a little. “You are so… gentle.” “You think so?” Ellie’s smile is soft, her voice low and sweet. “You are plenty gentle yourself…” “My hands aren’t so…” “Soft? No, maybe not… but they suit you, strong, gentle hands for a strong, gentle man.” He smiles then, leaning to kiss her gently, speechless for once.

It was like their skin was calling out for the other's gentle touch. Curufin/Caranthir please

thanks bestie!

The rain that fell around Lake Mithrim was frigid, nearly pellets of ice. Macalaurë fussed and moaned until his remaining brothers retreated into their garrison, lest he loses more siblings to something as silly as a little freezing rain. Curufin shrugged off his damp clothing, scowling and already in a foul mood because Maglor had never been his favorite brother. 

A heavy hand clamped down on his shoulder, and Curvo whirled around, ready to berate anyone who dared inconvenience him now. Caranthir drew back with a grimace and dropped his hand uselessly to his side, but the weight of it remained upon Curufin. The emotion was palpable. Their very skin was calling out for the other’s gentle touch. 

“Your clothes…off, now,” Curufin rasped and pounced.

Touch Starved Prompts

It was strange to touch each other without one of them dying, but maybe touch was also something for the living.

Like magnets they moved together, pressing into each other's warmth.

There always needed to be a reason, an excuse for their bodies to touch.

Being touch-starved and needy was really starting to mess with their reputation as a tough guy.

It was like their skin was calling out for the other's gentle touch.

They didn't like to be touched by just anyone. But that didn't mean they didn't also crave it sometimes.

A coldness took over their body that only the warmth of another person could erase.

They wanted to be touched, to be missed, to be loved. Was that too much to ask for?

Leaning onto each other, just being close, was enough.

Their bodies fitting together like they always were intended to become one.

A Whumpee who is so touch starved that they start crying from relief when Caretaker combs a gentle hand through their hair. The first hug sends them bawling.

Feel free to add onto any of my prompts!

Touch Starved

Character who:

instinctively flinches away from the first offer of contact

pulls back before their friend/partner can touch them, recoiling like a scared animal,

then stews in regret about the instinctive movement for days afterward, thinking about the missed opportunity,

wishing they could go back and accept it

wishing they could find a way to muster up the courage to ask for it

hungry for even a trace of contact, following their friend/partner around with silent, begging eyes, needing it so badly but unable to form the words for the request...

and then finally being hugged by surprise as someone comes up from behind them and wraps their arms around them

it feels so good, they can't even breathe for a moment,

tears prickle in their eyes the moment the other person pulls away

wait, they can barely whisper,

but this time their friend/partner hears them, wraps them in their arms, and doesn't let go for the longest time -

and this time, when their friend tries to disentangle themselves, the touch-starved character grabs onto their shirt or arms and holds on, too tight to allow them to pull away again. They're not about to let go of this ever again, now that they've finally found it.

Hallo! I saw your touch-starved prompts, and loved them, but (prepare yourself)... What of the character hated being touched(like some sort of trauma involving others touching them)?

Thmank(not a typo) you very much!

[tw: mentions of abuse]

song to set the mood [taylor swift my beloved] ^^^

in which Character A knows that Character B was previously in an abusive relationship, A will do everything to make sure that B is comfortable. they don’t want to be touched right now? B isn’t going to push it. they do want to be touched right now? B will absolutely give them all the love and attention they deserve.

in which Character A doesn’t know that Character B was previously in an abusive relationship. it doesn’t take A long to notice that something is wrong with A, hugs and even hand-holding makes them uncomfortable. communication is key between them. they sit down and talk about it and A is completely supportive and willing to help.

“is this ok?”

“you know that i won’t hurt you, right?”

“i’m never going to let anything like that happen to you again. ever.”

for a while they just sit in each other’s company while watching tv or reading.

eventually they work up from linking pinkie fingers to full cuddles. it takes a while and is very difficult for B to get used to and know that they are safe, but A is patient with them and they are learning together.

“can i have a hug.” B asks one day. it shocks A so much that they think it’s a joke at first. once they realise that B isn’t joking they slowly wrap their arms around them, letting B adjust to the feeling.

[hope you enjoyed the prompts! if you write something inspired by anything here PLEASE tag me in it, i would LOVE to read your writing :) if you like my content PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE follow me on tiktok and instagram @/miakate.writes i would really appreciate the support 🫶🏻]

[just-a-whumping-racoon-with-wifi]

Whumpee who has been hurt and torment and abused to the point where they flinch from even a sideways glance. Being in the same room as Caretaker is hard. Being close, being touched is impossible.

But that’s all they want.

Whumpee craves a hug so much they can barely stand it. They wrap themself in blankets, cuddle with pillows, try everything they can think of.

But the idea of caretaker touching them is so intimidating.

So they start slow. Scooting closer on the couch. Gently leaning their shoulder against Caretaker’s knees. Heart beating wildly, not able to look up at them.

Resting their head on Caretakers’s calf, lap way to scary to try yet.

Asking to hold Caretaker’s hand, twice when they couldn’t go through with it the first time. Feeling Caretaker gently rub their thumb up and down.

They can get better. A little smile.

Whumpees who are never touched

There's a million ways to torture a person without ever laying a hand on them.

Whumpees slowly losing their minds in a solid white room, rubbing their own blood on the walls just to see something.

Whumpees who can't sleep because they're too full of caffeine from the drugged food.

Whumpees who have to listen as their loved ones are tortured.

Whumpees who are locked up and abandoned to starve.

Whumpees who are denied medical care after an accident, suffering the pain of broken bones without assistance.

Whumpees who haven't felt the touch of another person in forever, at this point even a punch would be welcome.

Whumpees who are stuck in quarantine, only ever able to see others through the thick glass walls.

Whumpees who are completely touch averse, even the gentlest brush of fingers against their hand makes their skin crawl.

Whumpees who were turned into monsters, and nobody is brave enough to get close.

Can you guys tell I really like emotional whump?
