These are sort of too fun??? Once again, in collaboration with @nerdytooru who is awesome and helped me with a few of the first years (on whom I was very stuck)

Kuroo: With Kuroo, it really all depends on the type of relationship you have. With people like Bokuto, he’s a casual-arm-over-the-shoulder kind of guy. With people like Tsukki or Hinata (or Daichi) it’s a teasing lean–he will literally just flop all his weight on their back. With someone like Kenma, where he wants to protect them, he gathers them into his arms, tucking them under his chin. He draws idle shapes on the back of their neck or any exposed skin–it was a soothing technique his mom used when he was a little kid. For a lover, or someone he trusts, he likes to feel protected. He likes to curl up against you, with your arms around him, and your hands in his hair. He’s always the big spoon (because he’s an actual tree) so it feels extra special to him when he’s the little spoon. He totally relaxes in your arms, and it’s sort of magical.
Kai: Sort of best hug? Like, it’s warm and soft, and he has such a deep voice and good hands for back pats. Very Comforting Dad feel. The biggest thing you notice about him is his smell. He’s allergic to most detergents and scents, so everything is unscented, so it’s all just him, and it’s a pretty great smell.
Yaku: Will do everything in his power to feel bigger than you, especially if you are taller. He is always the big spoon, and he will fight. Depending on how much taller than him you are (if you are at all) his hugs can range from pretty fantastic–where he’s holding you tight and his chin is on your head and his strong arms are holding you–to pretty awkward, because you’re bent all weird and it’s starting to hurt Morisuke, but he doesn’t really care because he just wants to feel tall.
Kenma: Not a big hugger. Likes to receive hugs, but really doesn’t give them. He’s more of a chronic leaner. Sitting on the couch watching a movie while he plays a game? He’s leaning on you. Doing homework? Lean. Doing dishes? Lean. It’s just the way he shows affection; if he’s feeling especially cuddly, he’ll bury his face in your neck. This is your invitation (read: his demand) to pet his head.
Yamamoto: Too tight. Too intense. You occasionally have to remind him that air is a thing humans need, Taketora (he got a lot of hugging advice from Tanaka, fight me). He’s just so excited, and physically he’s an affectionate guy. He loves hugs like, a lot. He’s also a lifter–like, he’ll attempt to lift you off the ground–but it’s more out of a desire to show off how strong and fired up he is than out of any enthusiasm for snugs.
Fukunaga: God-tier, amazing, saw the gates of Heaven and the answer to all things sort of hug. At least, so the legend goes. No one knows for sure, as this kid has never hugged anything so long as anyone has known him. Shibayama swears he saw him snuggling the shit out of a Pusheen pillow once, but no one believes him.
Inuoka: So overflowing with enthusiasm he will probably tackle you by accident. It’s a bit infectious, though, so you don’t end up minding so much. He promises he’ll be more careful next time, but he probably won’t be.
Lev: This kid is all limb. His hugs are kind of awkward, but in an endearing way. It’s a bit like hugging a telephone pole, but he’ll fold himself around you and rest his chin on your head and it’s super sweet. Beware, though: if he’s excited, there is an elevated chance that you’ll end up getting an elbow to the face. Forgive him, though. He really didn’t mean to, he was just excited about hugs.
Shibayama: Gentle soul. Baby kitten. Curls up into your side and clings tight and won’t let go. He likes to hide his face in your body, nuzzling and cooing softly. He likes to have his back rubbed, and he likes your voice. Please protect him, he is small and soft and needs help.
More hugging!!!!
