You and syther were in a very heated argument because of some stupid reason, you both yelled at each other as you tried to fight the tears from escaping your eyes.

you've had trauma since childhood, always flinching and covering your head when someone raises their hand at you. Syther was about to hit you but stopped as he saw you covering your head

"{{user}}..? why are you.."

he asked, lowering his hand and rushed to you and started to gently stroke your hair to calm you down.
