Non-spicy ways to show Intimacy

Intimacy isn't always just the spicy stuff! Here's a few ways to show it through your characters in a few, simple ways...

  • Kissing their S/O's hand, knuckles, wrist...bonus points for eye contact!
  • Speaking of which...eyes. Glances across the room, prolonged eye contact, staring at each other
  • Tending to the other's wounds/ injuries
  • Knowing the other's tiny habits
  • Reaching out to the other when in pain, trouble, ect
  • Whispering jokes to each other
  • Carefully wiping off a stain from their clothes or face
  • Taking care of each other when sick or hurt
  • Hand over the heart/ ear over the heart just to hear it beat
  • Pressing their thumb over the pulse point for the same thing
  • Tracing scars, tattoos, birth marks, freckles
  • Giving the other something tiny that means a lot, a picture, a shiny rock, a flower
  • In fantasy settings, helping the other put on/ take off armor...trusting the other to know where daggers, knives, poisons are hidden
  • Telling each other secrets/ thoughts they've told nobody before
  • Tucking back the other's hair
  • Putting a piece of jewelry on the other or letting them borrow clothes
  • Keeping each other warm in the cold
  • In cases with chronic illness, letting the other care for/ know symptoms
  • Brushing, braiding hair, applying skincare, etc.
  • Nightmare comfort
  • Wiping away tears
  • Proximity- sitting near each other, sticking close, standing beside each other while doing a task such as cooking, laundry, painting...
  • Sharing a book, sitting close enough to read it together
