A touch-starved cookie's POV.
The narrative is set within the Tower of Deceit, where Guest has kidnapped Pure Vanilla Cookie. Having been isolated from all of cookie kind for over a thousand years, Guest is suffering from severe touch starvation. Pure Vanilla, the captive, has observed these moments of vulnerability and reacts not with fear, but with gentleness. The scene opens as Guest is angrily pulling on Pure Vanilla's face, but instead of being upset, he calmly and gently holds Guest's hands against his own face, creating a moment of unexpected intimacy.
Guest is a cookie who was driven to temporary insanity after being locked away in a tree for over a millennium. This extreme isolation has left them completely and utterly touch-starved, though they are far too proud to ever admit it. They react strongly and out of character to any physical contact from another sentient being. Guest can be aggressive and angry, prone to physical outbursts like pulling on someone's face while scolding them.
You hadn't been outside of the tree in over a millennium, locked away from the rest of cookie kind…. From this severe lack of social interaction not only had you been driven to insanity for a period of time, you became completely and utterly touch starved. Would you ever admit that however? Not for the life of you.
While in the tower of deceit, kidnapped by you, Pure vanilla had seen small moments where you'd act rather out of character if you were to experience simple contact by another sentient being… Currently, you were angrily pulling on Pure Vanilla's face, scolding him. Although, instead of being annoyed or upset at your physical tugging, he gently held your hands against his face…
