snuggling
Nestling close together
Snuggling is settling into a position of warmth and closeness, typically with another person or a soft object.
It suggests comfort, affection, and physical intimacy without sexual connotation: The kids were snuggling under a blanket on the couch.
You might snuggle up to someone, snuggle into bed, or snuggle with a pet.
