Not *every* cuddle is a happy cuddle. Ri's an abused Lucario, he struggles with it even years after being saved from his abusers. He trusts his mate Two and their friends Red and Blue, but even Two can trigger Ri sometimes if he isn't careful. Exploring a city full of people and auras Ri isn't familiar with is rather stressful on him already, and when Two mentioned his old abusers off-handedly it sent Ri panicking, unable to get his mind off being unsure he would never be harmed again.
Ri has a mate who cares for him, at least, and friends to watch over them while Ri settles down. Hiding away in a darkened alley out of sight Two pulls his mate close to comfort him and remind him he's safe in his paws. It doesn't come through to the Lucario immediately but *soon* Ri will remember, work through it and realize he doesn't have to worry about people he is sure won't be able to find him. Until then, though, it's tears, racing thoughts, and being held close against the comforting fur, warmth, and weight of a pokemon who can take care of him.
This is a scene from a story I recently released. Red's visiting all the gyms in Kanto and Ri, Two, and Blue are following along and exploring the region with him. This happens sometime after Red's battle while the mates and friends are exploring. You can read the whole story here on FA or on my alt Ao3. I don't usually mention this stuff but I thought it was a good idea to get it out there that Ri and Two have pasts that I don't really get into with my usual stuff. It's not *always* happy.
