the non-sexual intimacy meme


Reach out and touch someone.


1. In Bed
- Sleeping and only sleeping? You can hear your partner's heartbeat and listen to their breathing. Are they stubborn and need to be put to bed? Do they have a nightmare to be woken from, or do they sleep peacefully in your arms?

2. Cleaning Up
- This can be anything from bathing, shaving, to hair care! Or even dressing, getting out of your costume after a long day of superhero-ing.

3. Living Together
- Domesticity requires a certain level of weakness. Maybe you're seeing someone without their 'adaptive equipment' on, or their defenses lowered. A shared space comes with shares items: clothes or jewelry, or anything in between. Who keeps the place clean? Who decorates or cooks?

4. Emotional Support
- Someone who you can share your secrets with. Have you lost someone important? Are you risking your life to save theirs?

5. Physical Support
- Holding hands is the simplest show of support, like being held in someone's arms, or carried when you might fall.

6. Chaste Kisses
- A kiss on the hand may be quite continental! Or perhaps the cheek or forehead, or maybe even feet? Nothing's wrong with a little worship.

7. Wild Card
- There are as many ways to be intimate with someone as there are stars in the sky. What's the unique way that you connect?

[ What the--

He stumbles when she crashes into him. For an instant, he almost loses his footing completely. How does someone as small as her have so much strength? He barely regains himself, his arms stiffly held away from her, making as little contact as possible.

... you again. [ he'll be saying that a lot, it seems. ]

Me again!

[she laughs, snuggling up against him for a moment to compensate for those totally cheating outstretched arms before stepping back. her hands are laced behind her back and she's grinning playfully, obviously not even an iota sorry]

You're going to need some new way of saying hi to me purretty soon!

[ That snuggling is endured very stiffly, his expression carrying an unspoken 'are you finished?' when she pulls back. He slowly drops his arms again, idly tugging his coat back into place. ]

Is that going to be how you say 'hi' from now on?

[ Because that will be a problem. ]

Purrhaps! It's how I say hi to purrlenty of furiends already.

[and if he's going to be such a grump about it it's incredibly tempting to add him to the permanent pouncetackle list]

I didn't think we were friends.
