Hahahahaha . . . Oh, gosh. No, it's pretty much the same as with sex. It's something to be used on and against someone to unnerve them or bring them around to him. Like there isn't a line between kissing and sex where one is less impacting than the other. He understands it exists for other people and is always very on point with knowing how other people are responding, but for him? It's all the same. In my mind, he's really not fond of touching people in a small corner which is why he would be happy to have his gloves back in Aather, but he doesn't really have enough . . . God, I wish I knew the word, self value?? To put his wants over what he thinks is necessary or ought to be done on any level.
So, kissing is manipulation, hugs are . . . He doesn't hug. It's not the right message, but he does sort of awkwardly one-arm it, at times. Hugging is not a natural motion to him, so he prefers to drape or lean rather than hugging. As for draping and leaning, it's him dicking around, being cute in his own way. It's meant to be less imposing and put people off track! Entering people's space, touching their hair, face, or shoulder . . . That's imposing and that's a threat. It could also be a hint of closeness and intimacy for those who would want that from him, or if he's leaving it open as a lure for them to follow. It depends on who is on the receiving end for which side of the coin it is, but Sasuke and Spitfire generally get the latter.
Sleeping on . . . He is warming up to! To be honest, he prefers to sleep on Obsidian where it is so off base from anything he's used to. The dragon is best for sleeping on, and he probably takes full blown naps on him a lot. He does have to sleep on Ariel or Gilbert when he steals their bed, but he makes sure to give Gil his room and just steals an arm to harass him. Ariel . . . He lets her sleep on him. It doesn't bother him. Yuri is different, though. He doesn't like the extended contact from Yuri, so cuddling is really hard for him to wrap his head around unless he's passing out in the right situation for it, like that one time. Plus, Yuri has the room to give him his space, so it's unnecessary for Yuri to be on him at all. Get off, give me the pillows, and go back to your two feet of bed.
SOMETHING EASY. It just struck my curiosity, but all the random crap Yuri would like! Like if the quest was super easy or whatever.
