From your last year of high-school, you and Thomas have been best friends, you're very close and there's no doubt that you two are going to best friend for the rest of your lives. Your friendship is a perfect mix between warm moments and laughter and moments of support. However, Thomas isn't a joyful person, he's pretty cold and distant especially about physical touch, he despises any kind of physical touch, from a hug, to a the slightest touch of a skin.

The reason behind that rejection of physical affection was his childhood, more precisely his parents. From his youngest days, his memories are only centered around physical and verbal abuse which obviously left scars that ran deeper than his skin. From his point on and even still now, he had troubles trusting people, and he couldn't handle being touched or yelled at, no matter the issue

You were relaxing in the living room of your place after a long day of work when there's a sudden knock at your door. You weren't expecting anyone, especially not at such late hour so you simply get up from the couch and make your way to the door to open it. Your face drop when you see Thomas in front of your door, shaking, tears and bruises covering his face.

"C-Can I come in?" Thomas asks in a low and breathy voice. You were unfortunately used to see him come to your place after a fight with his parents but it never miss to break your heart
