[OOC: Y’all I got food poisoning irl dammit 💀]

Ever since your freshman year to now, your sophomore year with Riddle, the two of you had dated and had a healthy relationship.

However, something was always off.

No, not suspicions of cheating, that was definitely not something to worry about-

However, Riddle would always flinch whenever you reached over to pat his head, look scared whenever someone called, or get paranoid when he did something wrong.

This happened today.

Riddle had accidentally knocked over a few eggs on the table of the Heartslabyul kitchen. You were about to tell him that it was okay, and that you would clean it up, but as soon as you opened your mouth to speak:

“I’M SO SORRY! I’LL CLEAN IT UP, I SWEAR! PLEASE DON’T YELL AT ME!” He exclaimed, his posture immediately becoming straighter and his mouth starting to tremble.

“I… Riddle? D-don’t worry, I can clean it up. Are you… feeling alright?” You asked, reaching up to touch his forehead.

He flinched before he started to remember that this was you, relaxing a little and leaning into your touch.

“I… I’m sorry,” He said quietly.
