Cute drawings of shota (regardless of age) showing intimacy and deep friendship between each other will always make my heart flutter. Where they're so comfortable with each other that something as simple as holding hands or a kiss on the cheek can mean "say so little" yet mean so much.

>>6886 Deep friendships that are one or two steeps from becoming a romantic relationship are concentrated sugar, but what takes the prize (at least for me) are displays of sincere affection between two siblings of different ages. Things like the younger brother wanting the older brother to play with him, or the older brother protecting and guiding the younger brother make my rotten heart feel pure love for those scenes. I know the ones on the 4th pic aren't siblings, but they look just as cute and trigger the same effect on me.

>>6908 You should check out the manga Shota Oni, it's about an older and younger pair of boys that aren't siblings but have that type of relationship. It's very cute and is a comfy read. I also forgot to add here >>6886 that any image of cute toddler shotas makes my heart melt. I especially love when they're at that age where they're so short and they have their chubby little arms and legs, small hands and plump bellies. They deserve so many hugs and kisses.

>>6917 Just finished reading Shota Oni (at least its translated chapters). The little boy is sugar incarnate due to how sweet he is. >any image of cute toddler shotas makes my heart melt Same, specially when there's an older shota taking care of them. I prefer them to look like the ones in your 3rd and 4th pics rather than those "moeblobs" that are so common in chibi toddler art. Their smooth bellies almost invite me to kiss and tickle them.
