Tango x Etho - Cuddling Drabble

Etho wasn't a very touchy person. Didn't care for touch and would avoid it if he could. He would constantly flinch at the smallest of touches. Even though nothing had happened in his past. No neglect, no abuse and not a trace of trauma. But he had been bullied for his face being the way it was. Facial Dismorphia sucked.

But there were only two hermits to ever see his real face uncovered. Bdubs and Tango.

Tango always made sure there were boundaries set up. But he always used every opportunity to make sure Etho knew that he loved him. Just small things like a flower bouquet at meetings, hand holding in public and even going as far as kissing him overtop his mask.

But when the two were alone at night, Etho became more willing to actively be more touchy because he knew his partner loved it and would not hesitate to show it. Even going as far as cuddling with the blond blazeborn.

Right now, that was exactly what was happening. Etho had his head on Tango's chest, his body, for the most part, wrapped around the shorter blond's. Tango, being the blaze he was, gave off heat which Etho gladly took. He sighed contently as he continued playing and sometimes tugging at Tango's hair, hearing him purr like a cat underneath him.

It was moments like these that nothing mattered other than eachother. They could be themselves.

Etho repositioned himself so that he held the blond, Tango becoming little spoon. In nature, they were both switches, claiming they both like to play the dominant and submissive roles equally. No one questioned it either.

"Hey, Blondie?" The other smiled at the nickname at hummed out. "I want to ne more out with our relationship. Is that okay?" Tango smiled. "I would love that baby." Etho chuckled a bit at the nickname. "What were you thinking? I don't want to overstep."

Etho was silent for a moment. "I would be fine to cuddle and have dates more in public as well as meing more touchy." Tango was shocked. He smiled. "Ok."

Etho raised his head up to look at his boyfriend and smiled. It was a rare sight, Etho without his mask. And Tango loved these rare moments.
