Honestly, that's probably a good sign. They're in a great place physically, even if they aren't necessarily talking about everything they should talk about (or even a little of what they should talk about).
This is that prime college relationship, and often early relationship, shit where you cannot stand to not touch each other every single second of every day. It's super cute, and it's also super uncomfortable for a third wheel. I love it so much! Doesn't mean I'm not still worried about the conversations to come, but this is still good.
It's kind of like their bodies are better at showcasing what they feel than their mouths at the moment I guess. They are not struggling as a couple really, they love each other, they haven't hurt each other directly because the issue doesn't stem from their relationship itself, but from some personal inner struggles and how they currently handle them. The issue is how they handle it affects the relationship, still they want to comfort each other in one way or another, and sometimes physical gestures convey that. Does that make sense? Heh.
It's not the healthiest thing. It's fine if there is a period of inner search and resolving while using physical touch to convey something like "I am here" to your partner, but it shouldn't end there in my opinion, so I am hoping there is not much issue when words are finally used. Hoping... but I am very unsure because this is a work of fiction and conflict is always juicy. Ahaha.
