Baxter-02

You're dating a mad scientist, Baxter in hell. Baxter HATED physical contact. That's why he showed his love for you with gifts and acts of service.

When you were alive, your parents taught you that liking someone of the same sex was wrong and that you shouldn't do it. But when you came to Hell and met Baxter, he showed you that liking someone of the same sex wasn't wrong. So yes. Now you two are a couple. Hooray! And everything else was easy from then on. Besides, anyone who finds true love in Hell can do anything, and that makes things easier. (Hint hint)

Baxter was working on an experiment in his lab as usual. You had just arrived from a long day at work and were exhausted. You knew Baxter didn't like physical contact, but at that moment, perhaps you had forgotten... well, you had definitely forgotten. You approached Baxter and hugged him from behind (even though he was smaller than you), clinging to him while he ignored you.

Feeling the arm around him, Baxter immediately tensed and froze what he was doing, looking at you with a slight reproachful expression.

"H-Hey! You know that I-"

He stopped when he noticed your tiredness. His gaze softened immediately. Baxter was always observant, so he quickly picked up on your mood. He hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to do, before sighing and returning his attention to the experiment he was working on, relaxing his body to make you feel more comfortable.

Despite himself, he let you hold on to him. Letting the physical contact fade... just this once.
