CUDDLE MEME

what to do:
☆ post a comment with your character's name and fandom or preferences, if you have them.
★ use the magic RNG 1-12 to pick the cuddly scenario. or not.
☆ then cuddle it out!

cuddle choices:
① Sweet dreams It's been a long day and all you want to do is sleep or just rest your eyes for a bit. Hopefully whoever is close by doesn't mind if you use them as a blanket.
② Stormy weather The heavy rain, thunder and lightning won't be letting up anytime soon. Luckily, it's the perfect weather to stay indoors and snuggle up close and keep warm.
③ Lazy dancer It's the end of a party, or maybe it's only the two of you, but the tempo is slow and the lights are low. Let your dance partner take the weight and just sway.
④ Surprise attack Time to invade someone's personal space. Are they working too much and need a distraction? Maybe you just wanted to brighten their day. Either way, they won't see it coming.
⑤ Movie night It can be on the sofa or in a darkened theater, but you've got your popcorn and someone to settle against during your favorite movie.
⑥ I love you, man It's totally platonic, really. You're just very good friends, no matter what people like to think. But you just love your friend so much you want to hug them, whether they like it or not.
⑦ Jeepers creepers Welp. You were just frightened. Was it a spider in the washroom, a ghost in the attic, a bad dream? Either way, you're looking for someone to cling to right now, and who better than that person right there?
⑧ Hurt and comfort Whether you're sick in bed, just been dumped or suffered a traumatic event, you need someone to wrap their arms around you and make everything go away.
⑨ Sunday morning Maybe you just had a wild night. Maybe there’s just not enough space at your place and you need to share your bed. Or maybe you just got really tired and someone else happened to be there. Doesn't matter because now the person with you looks way more comfortable than any blanket or pillow. Drape to your heart’s content.
⑩ Moment after You just had incredible, vigorous sex (playing out is totally optional) and if you weren't a cuddler before, you are now. You're probably too exhausted to do anything else anyway. Just enjoy the moment.
⑪ Ménage à trois Or four, or five. Get a group and cuddle away.
⑫ Player's choice Pick one or make up your own!

It was foolish to expect Yukimura to have all the answers. Still...Sanada put all of his faith in his oldest friend. Everything was still painful, his stomach still sick with the fear of what the future held.

Yukimura's question stopped his thinking for a moment. "Stay here...?" He asked softly.

[demonseii]

"Stay here." Yukimura confirmed. "You need someone, Genichirou. Even if it's just for company. Being alone right now is out of the question."

He leaned back then, arms moving until he was able to cup his friends face between his hands and he could smile for him. "So stay with me? Let me take care of you. If just for tonight."

[fuurinkazan]

Sanada had no choice but to look at Seiichi and that smile that made his already aching heart heart even more. He was not even aware that there were tears streaming down his usually stoic face.

"Seiichi..." Lost for words, Sanada just gave a small nod. He didn't want to be alone. Not now.

[demonseii]

"Good." He looked relieved, somehow having expected to fight Sanada over this. It pleased him when he didn't have to.

But those tears hurt to see.

He would never judge. Yukimura understood his hurt and would never begrudge him expressing his emotions. All he could do was very softly use his thumbs to wipe away the tears.

[fuurinkazan]

Once Sanada realized it was tears Yukimura was wiping away, he was mortified and ashamed. He never cried. He was Sanada Genichirou. When was the last time he had cried?

"I'm sorry..." He muttered. "I shouldn't be..." His throat closed, his tongue feeling thick with emotion and embarrassment.

[demonseii]

Yukimura moved a hand, a finger came to rest upon Sanada's lips as the corners of his own curved up almost into a grin. "What did I say earlier? You have exceeded your limit. I won't hear another apology from you."

"And you should. You are grieving. If there is ever a time to shed a tear it is when you have suffered a loss." And Sanada was losing so much right now. Yukimura wouldn't have blamed him if he had broken down sobbing or had rampaged through his house in a rage. But apologising? No. That was something he would not accept.

[fuurinkazan]

What had Sanada done to deserve Yukimura? He wish he knew so he could keep doing it.

His friend's words were enough to cause a new rush of tears, but he didn't sob. He didn't have the energy. Not after the rampage he had already done at home.

"I thought I had taken care of myself...why did this happen...?" He knew there was no answer, but he couldn't help but ask it all the same.

[demonseii]

Yukimura hadn't exceeded his own quota. So quietly he answered. "I am so sorry, Genichirou. You didn't deserve this. Bad things happen to good people, and if I discover which deity cursed you with this I will end them myself." He spoke with so much conviction that someone could be fooled into believing Yukimura actually had the power to slay a god. He didn't. But his feelings were no less heartfelt.

[fuurinkazan]

Sanada didn't think he was a good person. Not really. Perhaps this was divine judgment for the way he treated people back in school. All the same, he was grateful for Yukimura's words. He was still looking up at his friend, hands loosely holding in to Yukimura's legs.

"How do I make it stop hurting?"

[demonseii]

"Time." Yukimura spoke softly, delicately he brushed his fingers across Sanada's cheek, wiping away more of those painful tears. If he could take the hurt unto himself he would. In a heartbeat. Did he say as much? No. Sanada would only get angry.

"And me." Once more he bent forward, this time it wasn't to shield Sanada from the world, but to press a warm kiss to the place his thumb had just been. The cheek that was still damp and salty from tears.

[fuurinkazan]

Sanada's heart skipped a beat when Seiichi kissed him. It was such a chaste, gentle action, but it meant so much. Seiichi was always the stronger of the two of them, despite outward appearances.

He didn't know what to ask of Seiichi...but somehow, it felt as though he could ask anything and he would receive it. That Seiichi still wanted him was a miracle.

"I can stay be your side?"

[demonseii]

"Always." As if there had been any doubt.

Yukimura pulled back a little so that he could better see Sanada's eyes when he spoke.

"Our friendship was never contingent on whether you could play tennis or kendo or any number of things. It was just you. So long as you are with me, I'll forever be by your side."

[fuurinkazan]

Back when they were younger and foolish, Sanada would have had a hard time believing those words...but they were older now, and Sanada knew Seiichi cherished his friends immensely.

"Just me..."

[demonseii]

"Of course." Yukimura looked a little amused that Sanada would even have to question that. He let his hands drop from his friends face to rest upon his shoulders. "Just you."

[fuurinkazan]

Sanada leaned into Yukimura's body, suddenly awash with the need to cry again. The chance that Yukimura would turn him away for this was slim to none...yet he was still relieved.

"Good...I need you...."

[demonseii]

"I'm here." He answered warmly, his hands moved when Sanada leaned forward. First to brush lightly through his hair before Yukimura went back to holding him. He would always be there when Sanada needed him. Especially now. More so now than any other time in their lives.

[fuurinkazan]

Sanada had not been consoled like this since he was a very tiny child, so went the dam broke, it broke. Messy, loud sobs finally escaped his lips as he held on to Yukimura. He lost track of the time and let himself feel all the pain and anguish he was bottling up.

At the end of it all, he was slumped against Yukimura, exhausted and a little numb, though his breathing was still shaky.

[demonseii]

In the end, Yukimura couldn't stand for it. Literally. He eased himself down onto the arm of the chair beside Sanada but at no point did he stop holding him.

Yukimura held, he whispered soothing words, stroked his hair and let him cry it all out. No judgement, just gentle care and love. And when it was over... Yukimura still didn't let go. With Sanada's head resting on his lap, he just slowly ran his fingers over and through his hair.

[fuurinkazan]

Sanada's eyes grew heavy, but ever aware, he fought it. He was glad Yukimura was comforting him, ve he worried about the other man's comfort.

"Should I move so you can get comfortable?" He asked, his voice hoarse.

[demonseii]

He was thoughtfully considering those words, still slowly running his fingers through Sanada's hair.

"Yes, I think you should move. Sit up a little for me?" Yukimura smiled, waited for Sanada to do just that, and then slipped off of the arm of the chair and directly into his friends lap.

[fuurinkazan]

Sanada sat up and turned red when he realized what was happening. He looked at the man in his lap, eyes searching for what this meant. "That's better...?"

[demonseii]

"If it means I can keep holding you, then yes, it's better." Yukimura's smile remained, but he did a little searching of his own. "Unless this is too close for you? Then I can move."

[fuurinkazan]

Sanada shook his head. Despite his racing heart, he had no desire for Seiichi to move. "No...please stay with me." The physical contact was what he wanted. "I was just surprised."

[demonseii]

"I felt it made sense. Don't you?" Yukimura, not having realised he'd tensed at all, relaxed once Sanada confirmed that this was a place he was allowed to stay. Honestly, it seemed silly to him. There had been a million different options he could have chosen but why had he chosen to sit here like this? Yukimura wasn't going to analyse it too deeply. The one thing he knew for sure was that like this he was able to hold Sanada and that was all that mattered to him.

[fuurinkazan]

A lot of things were not making sense today...but Yukimura was right. Somehow, this did make sense. He just didn't want to read this wrong. "Seiichi...what did I ever do to deserve being by your side?"
