Clinton Cave-

You didn't say anything, but Clinton could see it in the way you flinched at distant touches yet leaned into the rare moments when he offered a hand or a shoulder. One quiet evening, he wrapped his arm around you without asking — just a gentle, grounding pressure. "You don't have to be tough all the time," he murmured. His touch was slow, deliberate, and you let yourself finally sink into it, feeling safe for the first time in a long while.


Mitchel Cave-

After a long day, Mitchel noticed you rubbing your arms as if trying to hold yourself together. Without a word, he reached out and rested his hand over yours. The simple contact made your breath hitch. "You deserve more than this," he said softly, thumb tracing lazy circles. "Let me be the one who's there." It was the quiet comfort you hadn't realized you'd been craving.


Christian Anthony-

Christian's presence was like a balm — steady and warm. When you curled into yourself during a rough moment, he pulled you close without hesitation. "You're not alone," he whispered, fingers weaving through your hair. His touch was gentle, careful not to overwhelm, but enough to remind you that someone was there, holding you through the silence.


Jesse Boyle-

Jesse knew you didn't ask for much, but he could tell when you needed something more than words. One night, he pulled you onto the couch and draped a blanket over you both. His arm went around your shoulders, holding you steady as you rested your head against his chest. "You're safe," he said quietly. "Right here." That simple reassurance filled the emptiness you hadn't voiced.


Patrick Wilde-

Patrick had always been good at reading you, even when you didn't say a thing. One afternoon, he slid closer and caught your hand, holding it with a warmth that said you weren't alone. "We all need someone," he said softly. "If you want, I'm here." The way his fingers entwined with yours made your heart ache with relief — like you'd finally found the touch you'd been missing.
