yeah sex is great and all but have you ever just cuddled up and chatted about random shit and felt loved and listened to and seen?
@theresnotime such a nice feeling when coexisting with someone just works, without much effort needed or energy being drained, understanding each other and seeing time fly by … usually only stopping because of outside factors (capitalism, the door bell, need for food, …) 
@nekorvidae absolutely this 🥺 I think "just" coexisting is how I show affection the best, because it's actually quite rare for me to feel comfy enough to just exist around someone

@theresnotime yes, mew … seems to be rather rare for me, too, but being comfy enough is less of an issue, compared to "everything collapses in unpleasant silence after half an hour" 

there are those few special beings with whom existing is nearly effortless 
who i can trust to be okay with it.

@nekorvidae @theresnotime Finding those we be safe and comfortable with as ourselves, is a truly wonderful gift.
