Chapter Text
Siegward of Catarina
When it comes to snuggling up, this cheery onion will be more than happy to do it. If you happen to cuddle by a warm fire after sharing a refreshing pint of Siegbrau and some delicious Estus soup (cooked by yours truly) then that's even better! Naps and cuddles? Count him in for sure! And I'm willing to bet you can't really say no to that invitation either. After all. The road sometimes gets tough and during those moments it's nice to be reminded that you can find a bit of peace and quiet by his side whether that is by a freshly slaughtered fire demon or near a bonfire.
Just make sure you keep checking on him if you want to have a conversation. Because a full stomach and a bit of warmth will knock him right out and when he does fall asleep he is close to impossible to wake up no matter what you do.
Eygon of Carim
This man is not the cuddling kind. However do not be discouraged! He will make an exception when it comes to you. You are the one that gets the cuddling going for the most part but every now and again, when he doesn't have a stick up his ass, he will wrap his arm around you and pull you to his side as you sit by the bonfire. Of course that action won't lack his natural charm which consists of insults and taunts.
He'll come around eventually. Or not. He's stubborn. But also know that you won't catch him in a cuddling mood too often, especially if he is busy or you two have to handle serious business.
Horace the Hushed
Despite his cold exterior and the fact that he can't express himself unless it's through guttural grunts and other almost animalistic noises, he quite enjoys it when you pull him close or when he brings you to his chest. It reminds him of a time when he wasn't hollow, a period long lost but definitely not forgotten. Eventually your touch, presence and the feeling of your arms around him turn into his very own little safe haven, one that he can go to whenever he needs to. Which is definitely a rare sight in this forsaken land.
Sometimes he will wake up from a nightmare in a cold sweat and only your arms and your voice can soothe him. So yes. Please cuddle and love him.
Leonhard
This guy will be open to cuddling but do be careful because he won't keep his hands to himself. He likes to let his touch wander, especially when you are pressed against him. So as long as you are fine with a bit of groping and a couple sensual whispers then you will be fine! In fact, something tells him that's the only reason why you even cuddle him in the first place. The way you approach him or lay next to him and oh so gently shove your backside to his crotch is enough of a hint for him.
Basically cuddling turns into your own little way of saying: "fuck me". And he is always up to answer that request however he is a major tease so you're in for a fun time.
Yhorm the Giant
He definitely does try but there is an obvious size difference here. Most of the time your cuddles consist of you laying on his chest and trying to wrap your arms around him while he watches with an amused smile. But he definitely appreciates the intention! Even more so when you try to be the bigger spoon. Before you know it, he's got you trapped against him by simply resting his arms over you. And you can bet you aren't going to leave any time soon so you better cancel any plans.
Yhorm is a big ol' softie. Even more so when he's in a good mood but those days seem rather rare. Especially as of late.
Abyss Watcher
At first he didn't really understand what you were doing when you suddenly hugged him. Were you attacking him? No. This didn't feel threatening whatsoever. Once you explained the concept to him though, he seemed to warm up to the idea. Although he still struggles a bit with the act itself, he finds that the intimacy really more than enjoyable so he won't mind it at all. In fact he'll even come around to liking it in time!
He'll become especially fond of just laying with you and talking to you about whatever faded memories he can grasp on that day.
Soul of Cinder
Now this bad boy is a bit weird when it comes to contact. He's been alone staring at the same bonfire for who knows how long. Contact isn't really his thing. Certainly not the kind you are offering. Definitely don't just up and cuddle him out of nowhere. Worst case scenario, you get to take a trip to the last bonfire because of it. Take him easy. Earn his trust, start with small gestures at first and maybe. Just maybe. He will let you get him in the vulnerable position of having your arms around him while he rests.
Once you do get over that hill, he finds it even harder to deal with the silence and the loneliness. When you aren't there with him, the world somehow feels emptier. He sees this as both a good thing and a bad one.
