Summary
5 times Rydian allowed physical touch unintentionally and the 1 time he did it intentionally.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Rhydian Morris has never liked physical touch.
Growing up shuffled between foster homes, surrounded by strangers who demanded space he never wanted to give, taught him to flinch away from hands, hugs, and closeness of any kind. With friends, classmates, even teachers- Rhydian keeps his distance. Touch is something he avoids. Something he controls.Except when it comes to Maddy Smith.
No matter how hard he tries to deny it, Maddy has always been the one exception. The only person he never pulls away from. The only person whose touch doesn’t make him tense—whose presence quiets the noise inside him instead of adding to it.

Summary
Shikamaru opens the door in a pair of low-slung sweatpants and a loose, faded t-shirt and Ino thinks that her life is turning into one big joke. And a rather distasteful one at that, if she’s allowed any input. Shikamaru’s standing there, one arm braced on the doorjamb above his head, leaning against the frame of the house so that she can see a slash of toned, tanned stomach from where his shirt’s riding up, and Ino thinks she might strangle something. Maybe whatever god’s decided to turn her life into their personal sitcom. Maybe Shikamaru.
_____________'Casual' and 'uncomplicated' sounded good to Ino when Shikamaru suggested it. And, if she's honest, her feelings are still relatively uncomplicated - just in a different way then Shikamaru meant, and decidedly opposite of 'casual'.

Summary
“Guess we get to play nurse after all,” he says, voice low and loaded, and nobody should still be able to leer with a 103 degree fever, but Rio somehow manages it.
“If only I’d remembered my costume,” she replies dryly, and Rio laughs, soft and deep.
“Don’t worry, ma, I got a vivid imagination.”

Summary
Canon divergence post episode 2.04 "Pick Your Poison"
She’s side by side with Rio’s son at her kitchen sink, helping him get his shirtsleeves pushed up, when the sense memory hits her again, of leaning her hips against a different sink counter, and she catches her own eyes in her faint reflection in the window before glancing back over her shoulder and locking eyes with Rio, watching her with something unreadable in his eyes that sends a wash of goosebumps over her neck.
Oh, she thinks.
Oh shit.
