(waltz anon here!) No worries about taking your time - They’re suggestions, not demands!
Speaking of which… I had an idea!
Imagine Reader hanging out with Janus, and he mentions that Logan could use a hug. Of course, due to recent events, he’d probably not be too amenable to the idea coming from Janus. But, if you approached him…?
That’s cool and all, but here’s the fun part: Reader is also touch starved, and Jan knows this. So, he also asked Logan to give her a hug as well, knowing she’d never ask for one either.
Then at some point they both realize a few things:
Oh, that’s what touch-starved is?!
Janus set this up, didn’t he? Asshole (/aff)
…yeah, we're not moving today, are we?
(Platonic or romantic - could work for either!)
Authors note: I just frikin loooove the idea of a cuddly Logan I need to write about him more lol
Pairings: Logan x reader
⚠️Warnings⚠️ : Nonee

You sighed as your hand fiddled with some of the paint chipping away on the staircase railing. While you did this, you watched as Logan sat upright and ridged as he always did while reading the Murder of Roger Ackroyd. Your heart raced in your chest as you thought about how you were going to go through with doing what Janus suggested.
Like…he needed it right? Jan said it would really help since he’s been going through a rough time recently and you weren’t entirely opposed to the idea since you’ve managed to develop a small huge crush on the nerd.
So, internally, you were mustering up every ounce of courage you had to go give him a big ol’ hug.
But you just felt silly. This is Logan for crying out loud. He was your bestest and closest friend so…why was it so hard to just give him a hug? Yeah sure there was the matter of you liking him but surely you could put that aside to be there for him as a friend, right? Isn’t that what he needed? He wasn’t the type of guy to get into romantic relationships anyway…right??
Due to this inner turmoil you had going on, you failed to notice that Logan’s leg was bouncing up and down as he had the same mental battle going on.
He could hardly—alright, not at all—focus on the words of his favorite book as much as he tried. All that he could concentrate on was Janus’ words from earlier. Was it true that you needed more physical affection?
He had noticed in the past that you struggled to ask for physical touch even when you clearly needed/wanted it. He had also done some research and found that getting things like hugs or cuddles could improve your health—both physically and mentally—tremendously.
So…why was he panicking just from the simple thought of giving you a hug?
Well, he knew the answer to that question actually but didn’t want to accept it. Butterflies fluttered in his stomach any time you looked into his eyes, his mind latched onto every word you said when having a conversation with him, he even stuttered at times when you got too close to him.
So yeah. He knew why he panicked.
He also knew he needed a hug too—badly— but it was just…so. difficult.
He was so caught up in thinking panicking about this that he failed to notice your presence until you plopped your butt right next to him on the couch.
In all honesty, you had no idea how you managed to move as fast as you did. A random surge of confidence surged through you when you were at the stairwell and decided to give Logan that hug right that second. Buuut as soon as his attention was on you, you could feel that confidence literally evaporate.
Now you were staring at Logan, wide eyed, mouth open to speak but no words coming out, stiff as a board, while he just stared at you with a mix of 😳😶🤨
(Not particularly in that order)
Wow you really hadn’t thought this through. Your heart was practically beating out of your chest and you swear you probably looked like a tomato right about now.
He on the other hand, began to wipe the sweat off his hands on his pants. While he noticed that you were acting strangely, his mind could only focus on how nervous you were making him.
So there you sat there. In awkward silence. Staring.
You began to panic even more now. Why hasn’t he said anything?? Why haven’t you said anything??? If you didn’t do or say anything right now, you knew hat whatever small bits of confidence you had left would disappear.
So did the only logical thing you could think of. Enveloping him in the most stiff, giant hug you could offer.
Logan’s body jerked back a bit in surprise at the sudden hug. He even almost fell on his back on the couch from the force of the hug but managed to keep upright.
At first, his body was tense and ridged, not used to physical affection such as this. His heart seemed to stop as he processed the hug, his breath hitched in his throat due to the surprise. You even began to wonder if he was gonna straight up push you away and tell you o never do that again.
But soon his body relaxed, bit by bit, and his arms began to wrap around your torso. You released a sigh of relief at him returning the gesture. To be honest, you were internally screaming at the fact you made such a bold move without even saying a word.
Now though, you relished in the warmth of the embrace. The way his firm arms held you with such emotion almost made tears come to your eyes. His face nuzzled deep into the crook of your neck and you swear you almost fainted right there.
Your hand trailed to the nape of his neck and you heard his breath hitch while the skin of his cheek started to heat up. Smiling into his shoulder, you internally thanked Janus for talking to you. Logan was doing the same in his head too.
Little did you both know that Janus was watching this whole interaction with a smirk on his face as he swirled a glass of wine in one hand.
