"Your the only person who's ever looked at me without fear." Raymond murmurs

"I do fear you." You whisper

He winced as though your words physically strike him.

"But I don't fear you for what you have done in the past." You run a finger over the scar on his eye

"You might-" he grabs your hand with his calloused one

"The only thing I fear." you cut him off "Is if I give you my heart you may break it."

"I would never hurt you" he lifts your face so you look at him
