Marcy's POV:

It was just like any other day with me and my partner, Y/N, we were together on the couch playing video games and eating some snacks. Although, on this particular day, I started to notice something...that whenever I touched Y/N or hugged them, they would flinch but then ease into my touch. I thought to myself 'huh...I never noticed this before, why are they acting like this towards me? Is it something I did?' Once we finished playing a few matches of the game we were playing.

No one's POV:

Marcy looked over at Y/N, who was sitting beside her on the couch, their eyes fixed on the TV screen even after the match had ended. There was a flicker of concern in Marcy's mind, she couldn't shake off the feeling that something was bothering Y/N.

"Hey, Y/N" Marcy began tentatively, placing her controller down. "Is everything alright?"

Y/N glanced at her, their expression a mix of surprise and quickly masked discomfort. "Oh uh...yeah! Everything's fine! Totally fine!- Just tired from the game, I guess."

Marcy wasn't convinced. She had known Y/N for a long time to sense when something was off. Today, it wasn't just their distracted demeanor - it was the way they reacted to her touch. Every touch seemed to startle Y/N, making Marcy's heart ache with concern.

"We can stop for today if you're tired!" Marcy suggested softly, scooting closer to Y/N "But if something's bothering you, you can tell me...you know that, right?.."

Y/N hesitated, fidgeting with the edge of the blanket draped over their legs "It's...it's nothing... really! Just a long day..."

Marcy didn't push further, sensing that Y/N wasn't ready to talk. Instead, she decided to show her support in the way she knew best...through actions rather than words! She gently wrapped her arms around Y/N, pulling them into a warm embrace.

At first, Y/N tensed slightly, a reflexive reaction that didn't go unnoticed by Marcy. But instead of pulling away, Marcy held on, pressing a gentle kiss to Y/N's forehead. She felt Y/N slowly relax into her embrace, their body melting against hers as if seeking solace. "I'm here for you, Y/N" Marcy murmured softly, rubbing soothing circles on Y/N's back. "Whenever you're ready to talk or if you just need a hug...I'm right here."

Y/N let out a quiet sigh, burying their face into Marcy's shoulder "I know...thank you"

Marcy smiled to herself, silently vowing to be there for Y/N no matter what...she continued to hold them close, savoring the warmth of their presence and the reassuring beat of their heart against hers. In that moment, all that mattered was being together, finding comfort in each other's arms, and silently promising to navigate whatever was troubling Y/N as a team...

Y/N's POV:

Once everything went silent and rather peaceful, I spoke up in a small and meekly voice while still having my head buried into Marcy's shoulder "M-Marcy?.."

"Hm?.." She responded softly, her voice carrying a mixture of concern and tenderness.

"I...I'm sorry" I began hesitantly, my voice muffled against Marcy's shoulder "I didn't mean to...it's just..."

Marcy gently shifted, allowing me to face her while still wrapped in her arms. "Hey, it's okay..." she reassured, brushing a strand of hair away from my face. "You don't need to apologize. Tell me what's on your mind"

I met Marcy's gaze, my eyes searching for understanding "It's just- I've been feeling...I don't know...touch starved lately...and when you hugged me just now...it felt...really nice"

Marcy's expression softened with empathy. She noticed my reaction to her touch earlier, but hearing the underlying reason stirred a protective instinct within her "I'm sorry you've been feeling that way" she murmured sincerely, pulling me closer into her embrace. "You know I'm here for you, right? Always"

I nodded slightly, leaning into Marcy's comforting hold "I know...it's just been hard lately, with everything going on...you know?.."

Marcy nodded understandingly. "I can't imagine how tough it's been, but you don't have to go through it alone, okay? We're in this together"

I let out a small sigh of relief, feeling a weight lift off my shoulders. "Thank you, Marcy. For being so understanding"

Marcy smiled warmly, pressing a gentle kiss to my forehead. "Anytime, love. I mean it"

No one's POV:

They stayed wrapped in each other's arms, the quiet intimacy of the moment bringing a sense of calm and reassurance. For Y/N, it was a moment of vulnerability shared with someone they trusted deeply. Marcy held them close, silently vowing to provide the comfort and affection Y/N needed, cherishing every moment they spent together.

As they sat together on the couch, the world outside seemed to fade away, leaving only the warmth of their embrace and the steady rhythm of their hearts beating in sync. In that moment, Y/N knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, they would face them together, their bond growing stronger with each shared heartbeat.
