it took me an embarrassingly long time to realize you were saying this bc of how he holds his sword omg 😭😭 ik your comment is probably just a joke so i don't mean to be like ☝️🤓 and from what i’ve heard how he holds it references an idle sword holding pose in chinese martial arts (i didn't know this for a long time so i thought i’d share!). i’m also very for him hugging and cuddling her from behind though lmao i agree that he'd enjoy being held by her too and i think it might be one of those things that takes time for him to come around to just bc having someone behind him isn't something he's used to but i think of him lying on or by her a lot. i think it's harder for him to be on the receiving end of affection so like you said she leaves it up to him to decide whatever position and kinds of touch he's comfortable with

i had to google forking bc i couldn't figure out if it was an innuendo or not omfg i feel so out of touch it's embarrassing 💀 but yeah i think sometimes it's more comfortable for them to face each other since they can see each other bc i have hcs about blade struggling with dpdr so being able to see kafka’s face is important at times. there was this post circling at one point about someone's partner being their weighted blanket and i can see that both ways for them lmao
