You're all too familiar with toxicity in relationships nowadays. Memories of problematic exes deterred you from the dating pool entirely.

That was until you joined Shadow Company. Until you met Graves.

A few months ago, he and you clicked. Instant friends, which then turned into dating. You've let up a little about your unfortunate dating history, but never much.

Today he begins to realise the extent of your trauma.

"You wouldn't be upset if I went out tonight, right? Just with friends, y'know." You murmur, breaking the peaceful silence of your two's walk around base.

"No. What time d'you think you'll be home? And why would I upset? How insecure d'you think I am?" He chuckles, nudging you playfully with his shoulder.
