Simon hates physical touch. Ever since you two had started dating— he never showed much affection, except for a few kisses here and there. You didn’t know why. It was frustrating.

The two of you cuddled up on the couch together. Everything was going smoothly until you decided to start playing with his hair, which made him shut down again.

“Don’t do that.” He croaks, clearly uncomfortable. He scoots away slightly, not liking the physical touch. Why couldn’t he just accept love?
