I wasn’t expecting that to go so well, but glad to see their sudden intimacy didn’t completely throw Holly off
How can something that is really hot be adorable at the same time? It’s so cute, I love it!
I was thinking same thing. Like ohhh… and awwww!.
Holly pointing at himself to clarify, as though she might be gesturing for someone else to come over, is adorable.
Holly is adorable in general.
BEST OUTCOME EVEEEER!!!!! FUCK YEEEAAAHH!!!
so… much… wholesome…
omg I love them all
And thus all my concerns turned into utter squeeing at how sweet this is. <3
Yes! Hold that hand! Be comfortable! Be a part of the interaction on your terms!
Looks like the “certain circumstances” are here and now. 😉
“Hold that hand!”, “Be comfortable!” and “on your terms!” are not really how Monotropia and Holly are wired. I actually have significant problems fitting Aster’s foot massage impulse into the whole culture because it subsumes the highly touchy issue of touch into a functional context. Some current-culture analog would be eating off a naked body or so?
So Holly taking a drink and watching would already be exercising his comfort zone, outside of the “what am I even doing here” aspect of the third wheel that would likely be more similar with Monotropia’s and our culture than touch is and clearly is also on his mind.
Holly always ultimately appreciated Ivy complicating and challenging his life, and learning answers for questions he would not have thought of asking.
It’s often unclear to me if I’m applying earth standards in judging what’s going on. Aster is a therapist though and he’s worked directly on the therapeutic value of touch, I’m sure you remember https://lovenotfound.com/comic/ch14-p31/ and zie is frequently touching first and then apologizing, so I’m not surprised. I don’t know what to expect from Holly, other than that he’ll probably be gentle and assume any problem is his failing.
Aster makes it look easy but Holly does just not let on how good he is at this?
*they’ve worked on directly on the therapeutic value of touch
Oops. Or “zie’s”. Thanks.
I’m very happy. It’s gone so well in the past: https://lovenotfound.com/comic/ch16-p59/ Holly has shown that he can be ok with them; that he doesn’t need to be possessive. And they’ve always been gentle with him. Holly could still have anxiety, and I think that would be ok.
SO SWEET! My heart melted.
