Thinking about Lan Wangji and how he only wants to be touched by certain people. He thinks that he just doesn’t enjoy physical touch— occasional hugs from his brother are okay, but otherwise something in him recoils at others touching him
Then he meets wwx and he touches lwj and he’s like /oh/. wwx of course noticed that lwj doesn’t like to be touched, so he tries to hold back, but lwj is like “no, I *want* that”. wwx’s touch feels good and right and comforting
Post canon he’s always touching wwx, cupping his cheek, brushing a hand down his arm, wrapping an arm around his waist and tugging him close, hugging, kissing, leaning against him. Everyone is shocked at how into pda lwj is.
He still doesn’t want others to touch him, but with wwx it’s grounding and the ‘something’ in him is content instead of bothered, searching more and more for tactile comfort from his husband. Wwx is more than happy to give it
I relate to lwj so much in this respect. For my brain, touch is only okay from Certain People. I’m not sure why that is, but I feel seen by this part of lwj
