Majima Goro

Some days he’s the big spoon, some days he’s the little spoon. On the day’s that he needs to be the little spoon, I imagine he’d talk a little shit as it’s happening. Like, his s/o is laying on their side and he scooches back into them and when they don’t immediately wrap an arm around him he’s like, “What? Ya don’t wanna love on me? Fine then,” and pretend that he’s gonna move away just so they’re the ones asking to hold him. He’s tall af but if his s/o isn’t able to cover all of him, he shrinks into them a little to make it work. When he’s the big spoon, he likes to be as close as physically possible. He might hump them a little but it doesn't have to go anywhere, force of habit. Whether he’s the big or the little spoon, someone's hair must be played in-- I don’t make the rules. His s/o can play in his if he’s the little spoon but if he’s the big spoon, they can bet their bottom dollar his fingers are gonna wind up in their hair. He also loves hiding his face in the crook of their neck and nodding off but rarely ever fully falling asleep because this is Majima we’re talking about.

He just so soft on the inside. He would probably love to be the little spoon but he’s large, huge & gigantic, okay? Unless they’re the same size as him, good luck getting their arms around that big chunk of man! So, anyways, he’s practically always the big spoon. As mentioned before, he’s huge--I know what you’re thinking, ‘Kulemi, your size kink is showing’--shut your mouth, it’s true. He’s enormous and soft and with enormous, soft men come gentle, warm cuddles. He likes to tuck one arm underneath him-- resting on his hand while they lay on his arm like a pillow; his other arm will be wrapped around them nice and taut. He’s quiet but at times like this, he loves chatting with his s/o about their day-- mostly asking them questions and just listening to what they have to say. They’re so close to his chest and his head is just above theirs, they can feel his voice vibrating behind them. Ahhh~

If "Big Spoon in the Streets, Little Spoon in the Sheets" was a thing that people actually said, his face would be in the encyclopedia for the origin because oh my god what a phony this guy is! If he’s just laying up with someone he’s randomly hooking up with, he’ll need to be the big spoon-- for appearances sake. He’s a tough guy-- until he’s not. Please, when he’s with someone who he feels safe enough to show his vulnerability to, he will absolutely be the little spoon. During cuddle sessions, he would lean into his s/o and let out whatever it is that he has on his mind at the moment that’s been weighing him down. He doesn’t cry every single time he gets frustrated, it’s usually the result of him letting things build up and fester to the point that he feels like he doesn’t have any control and that is what brings the waterworks and at that time, holding him is very much appreciated.

Cool guy, this one and also protective-- therefore, big spoon. If spooning isn’t directly the end result of a steamy love session, he’s probably a little less likely to initiate. Of course if he’s been asked, he’s not going to turn his partner down but I imagine he’d click his tongue and scratch at the back of his head and spit out, “Really?” in a faux annoyed voice and a, “I guess I’ve got no choice” but once he’s actually laying there behind his partner, he’s whispering things to them and making sure they’re comfortable, “You warm?”, “Wanna cover up?”, “Am I holding you too tight?” and kissing their neck and shoulder while his fingertips ghost their frame. Once he’s there, it’s almost impossible to get him to let up-- funny, considering how he pretended to be bothered by the proposal to begin with...

Oh my god does this man love to cuddle! Working as a host for as long as he did, made him really in tune with his intimate side as well anticipating the needs of his s/o. He’s got a buff chest and muscular arms which makes him the perfect teddy bear. He’s protective of that which he holds dear so of course he enjoys being the big spoon but he likes being the little spoon just as much if that’s what his partner wants. If pillows and sheets are needed, he’ll make sure they’re in the general vicinity so that he doesn’t have to move too far away from them.

He’s probably not the first to initiate a cuddle session but he’s definitely not going to turn one down. He’s generally always going to be the big spoon as it’s his default position. He likes to wrap his arms tight around his s/o, tuck them into his broad chest and bury his face into their neck or hair or both. He loves it when his s/o runs a hand up and down the arm that he’s wrapped around them. If there’s a height difference (because he’s huge) and the difference allows for it, he likes to tangle the feet together because he knows that feet are always forgotten and usually the most cold part of the body. We all know that he’s quiet but he doesn’t mind pillowtalking when he’s with his partner like this, it almost feels natural.

Big Spoon, Little Spoon, Middle Spoon, Akiyama doesn’t give a shit so long as he gets some warmth. It doesn’t matter which position he’s in; he’s next to his partner, he’s warm, he’s napping. No ifs, ands, or buts. If his partner has had a rough day and needs to be held, that’s no problem at all; but if they wanna talk, they’d better do it while he’s still sitting upright or he will fall asleep on them and he won’t regret it. If his partner is the one holding him, he’ll likely fall asleep even quicker. If he’s fallen asleep on his partner while they're talking and they shake him and ask if he’s listening, he will say yes. He’s a liar. He was asleep and didn’t hear a word after…. Wait, what did they say again?

True to her name, she is a queen and a queen must be held; delicately, now. This little spoon loves the feeling of a strong but gentle hand at her waist. If her partner is going to run their fingers through her hair, that’s fine but she asks that they don’t cover her face with it; it tickles and the oil is bad for her skin. She melts in a tight embrace and will entangle all of her limbs with her s/os if allowed to. She might talk a little or she might ask her partner to tell her a story, something nobody else knows while she caresses their forearm. She’s not beyond getting her beauty sleep once comfortable.

Don’t get it wrong. She doesn’t need to be held but if they’re going to lay that close, they may as well hold her. She melts from the comfort and security that comes from being held by one of the few people that she trusts. This doesn’t mean that she’s only a little spoon. If there are ever times when her partner needs to feel from her that they are safe and loved she would be happy to wrap her toned arms around them and bring them as close to her body as possible. She likes to run her foot up and down the leg of her partner whether she’s in front or behind.

Hard on the outside, soft on the inside, Saejima has gone 25 years too many without the warmth of a person he cares about pressed tight against his muscular build. More often than not, he winds up being the little spoon even if he’s much bigger than the person he’s laying with. In the beginning, he would probably default to being the big spoon but he’s always preferred being loved on. As a self admitted ‘sucker for a pair of legs’, if his partner hooks a leg around him while holding him from behind, he’ll latch on and his heart would go nuts.

There’s no shame in indulging in his needs, with his job, he often does but majority of the time it lacks the intimacy that comes naturally with being attached to someone. When he finds himself laying up beside someone that he’s dedicated to, he finds it almost impossible to not want to cling onto them all day. Cuddling sessions are the best thing in the world. They’re the perfect excuse to hold on and not let go. He prefers to be the big spoon but his goofy ass melts every time he gets to be the little spoon. There would be lots of spooning and sleeping in every day.
