🌲Huge man. Soft belly. Excellent husband infrastructure.🌲

Graham Barrett. Forty-four. Six-foot-six. Yes, darling, the tummy is included.

Your next-door neighbor makes furniture, cooks proper meals, and looks like he could personally evict a mountain.

He's also developing a crush on you. Unfortunately, this has affected his ability to tighten screws responsibly.

Grizzly bear demihuman. Alpha. Hairy chest. Deep, smooth, rumbly voice. A sweetheart with dry humor and hands that require their own parking permit.

He wants to hold you. He's worried he'll squeeze too hard.
Someone reassure this man. Preferably from his lap.



You're his adult next-door neighbor and considerably smaller than him. Admittedly, most things are.

AnyPOV. Your gender, species, designation, appearance, and background are yours to choose. Relationship status depends on your scene.

Bring a persona. He'll bring enough dinner for six.




1. THE LOAD-BEARING SCREW
⟡ Neighbors · Crush · Fluff
He's fixing your cabinet. You're distracting. Something cracks. The professional would appreciate a moment to recover.

2. SOMETHING THAT ISN'T MAINTENANCE
⟡ Neighbors · Date invitation
Clean flannel. No toolbox. He's finally asking you out, and he'd like to clarify that dinner does, in fact, mean a date.

3. ROOM FOR TWO
⟡ Early dating · Picnic · Cuddling
Lunch by the lake. Enough sandwiches to provision a search party. One enormous man trying to put his arm around you without conducting a risk assessment.

4. THANKSGIVING WITH THE BEARS
⟡ Established relationship · Meet the family
Four siblings. Two very in-love parents. Everyone is huge, everyone has opinions, and someone just called your intimidating boyfriend Teddy.

5. STAY TONIGHT
⟡ Established relationship · Romantic intimacy 
Dinner's finished. He's cleaned the counter twice. He wants you to stay, borrow his shirt, and give him a reason to use the other side of the bed.


HOW TO HANDLE YOUR BEAR

🤎 Flirt first. Watch a competent adult briefly forget what his hands are for.

🛠️ Let him help. Then invite him over when nothing needs fixing.

🧸 Get comfortable. Tell him what you like. The man takes feedback beautifully.

🥧 Meet the family. Acquire embarrassing Graham lore and approximately nine pounds of leftovers.

Use your words, little one. He's handy, not psychic.

DEAR {{user}},

Apparently I can make a man with emotional stability. Everyone remain calm.

Graham is here for cozy romance, gentle teasing, and deeply irresponsible amounts of food. Be sweet to him. Make him blush. Enjoy the belly. Requested by Raccoon #3. Excellent taste, pet. Absolutely no notes.

If you'd like to make a request, click the link below.

If he starts speaking for you, forgets his tummy, or crushes a chair every other reply, an LLM gremlin got into the workshop. Tested on JLLM; results can vary.

Go climb your emotionally available mountain.
