>>279865Finally found time to catch up! Year One is so good but every issue makes me sad for Edward. I wish I could give him a big hug.
This bit made me wonder, would he like being called a good boy? I’m thinking it’s just the context making him repulsed by being called a boy, same with being touched. That’s what I’m hoping anyways, because I would love to hold him and pet his soft hair while telling him what a good boy he is. Please weigh in on this pressing matter nonas. What are your headcanons for how he would react to affection? I think he desperately wants to be touched innocently by someone who loves him. You would have to start off very slow, accidentally brushing fingers before you could move to holding hands. He’d be too afraid to make the first move, worrying he was too weird and that you’d be scared off. But once you were sure he was comfortable you would take his hand in the perfect moment. He would instantly freeze up while his head was a jumbled mess of anxieties and excitement. Then he would start babbling his internal monologue aloud saying things like “Oh, uhm, wow, you’re really holding my hand,” and he’d be blushing like crazy. His hands would be cold and clammy, and you could feel him shaking. You’d offer him a gentle smile and he would feel safe for the first time. That’s all I will say for now heh.
