Touch Therapy

A/N: This is much worse written than the first one. I was not in the mood to write when I wrote this, so please do not have high expectations for this. I'll most likely re-make it because this did not turn out at all like how I wanted it to.

TW: Cussing, mentions of past abuse, and touch-starved Serizawa. If I missed anything then please tell me in the comments!!

"Serizawa! I've been doing some thinking and I believe that you should do some touch therapy to help you with socializing!" Reigen suddenly exclaimed in the office. They were having an incredibly slow day, so he was itching to do something.

"T-touch therapy? What does that mean?" Serizawa asked with a bright blush, several thoughts swirling through his head at once. "Touch therapy! It's where every day from now on, we will show each other small bits of physical affection or simply physical touch. This will be good for your socialization skills! Especially if you ever pursue a partner in the future," Reigen explained while waving his hands in the air around him, his usual smile on his face.

"Oh, okay. That sounds good to me, though what counts as small bits of physical affection?" Serizawa asked as his hands fidgeted together. "More pats on the shoulder, hand touching or holding, working our way up to hugs, possibly cuddling, and that's as far as friends usually go. So, we'd most likely stop there," Reigen continued to explain while looking at Serizawa's flustered self.

"Okay, I'm okay with that. Would you mind initiating the affection first for a while, though? I don't think I can for a while," The question was more of a plea than anything else. "Yes, of course. However, we should also have a safe word. I know we aren't doing anything sexual but it is still always good to have one just in case either of us gets overwhelmed," The suggestion brought confusion to Serizawa.

"What is a safe word?" He asked with a slight head tilt. The question honestly took Reigen by surprise, he knew the man had been a shut-in the majority of his life but he didn't think the guy never watched porn or anything of the sort.

"A safe word is when two or more people start physically interacting with one another. To make sure no one gets uncomfortable, they usually create safewords that anyone can say at any time. If someone says a safe word, the other person stops what they are doing completely and does whatever they can to help comfort the person who used the safe word," The more he explained, the easier it was for Serizawa to understand.

"That makes sense, Do you have a preference for the safe word?" Serizawa asked while Reigen stood up and beckoned Serizawa beside him. "You get to choose it because you're the one that's most likely to get uncomfortable. When you begin to get physical contact after so long without it, your body registers it as an attack rather than comfort," Reigen explained before he gently took hold of Serizawa's hand and pulled it closer to him, looking at the other man's watch before he let go.

"The word can be Takoyaki if that's alright?" The shared treat was the only thing he could think about. His hand was still buzzing from Reigen's small touch. He wanted more affection. He liked it a lot.

"It's usually best to not have it be something you have frequently, though it'll be alright. Takoyaki it is! Now, we have to go pick up Mob from school today. I don't know why but he asked me to a few minutes ago... It's probably best to keep the touch therapy just between you and me," As he spoke he started heading for the door, Serizawa in toe.

"I hope he's alright. Are we getting Ritsu too? Or just Mob?" Serizawa asked while they walked to Reigen's car. "I'm not sure. Mob usually walks here, so I hope he's alright," Reigen's voice was filled with nothing but concern as he quickly got into the driver's seat.
