What are the non-sexual forms of intimacy with the guys?

Leo loves to pamper you. Play with your hair, help you in painting your nails, or just hold you after you've had a rough day.

The hair thing most, though. Short or long, curly or straight, it doesn't matter; he'll ask to feel it, maybe run his fingers through it or braid it. He'll help in brushing it, as much as he could, anyway. He does cornrows and fishtails like nobody's business, and is always happy with his finished handiwork.

He's also very upfront about telling you how beautiful you'd look, even when you wake up with the most terrible bed head and dark circles in your eyes, or when you come home from a long day at work. He's just happy to have you in his life, and wants to show his appreciation in any way you can.

Raph just loves spending alone time with you. It gives him space to loosen up and relax, and just some free time to not think of shit in the world, and only focus on you, the best thing to happen to him. Despite it, those nights don't always end in sexual activities. Sure, he'd get a little grabby here and nippy there, but he just wants to feel you close to him.

Those nights can have anything; he could join you in cooking, watching TV, maybe even help you clean the place. He loves it when you pull out freshly dry-cleaned laundry. He'll bury his face into the very warm pile of clothes and churr loudly, before getting up to help you in folding them.

Donnie is a romantic. He likes to think of himself as one, and will treat you like royalty. Imagine flowers, sweet texts, some gifts. But if you're the type that doesn't really care for extravagant displays of affection, then he'll tone it down.

He'd still bring you flowers though.

Knowing that Donnie is almost always running on sheer determination and coffee, you make sure to come up and get him to sleep. He never really liked it at first, having you pull him away from his work even though he's reassured you that he's been awake for longer before, but you'd be adamant. You both start to take up napping together. No sex, no insinuating touches, just you and him laying close in bed, quietly talking until both of you doze off.

He'll trace a hand down your face and cup your chin when he's feeling particularly sappy and romantic, and he'll tell you how thankful he is for having you in his life.

Honestly, Mikey's a wild card. He'd already do a lot of non-intimate actions to make ya feel loved. He'd shower ya with cheesy compliments and pickup lines, he'll make you laugh till your sides hurt, hell, he'd even bust out in song with you. But the thing I'm sure he'd do often with you is try and get you to dance with him.

It didn't matter what type of music it was, he'd still take ya by the hand and make you move with him. He has this one special playlist that just has an assortment of different music types, from ballroom to jazz, even ballet. You can't be shy in dancing with him, he'll have you all giggly and moving to the beat in no time.

He makes sure to instigate a lot of trust in his relationship, and he'll want you to let loose and be comfortable around him. And when he watches you relax and sync yourself with the music, its that moment when he knows it all been worth it.
