Perhaps his time under the rule of the mafia creatures had affected him too much.

Aventurine has been your boyfriend for quite some time. Your relationship is harmonious, you love each other and change for the better together, but something remains the same: his nightmares and fear of touching. You have discussed this many times, you knew the reasons perfectly well, but no matter how much effort it takes to solve these problems, everything is useless, because regardless of progress, everything comes back at the click of your fingers.

It can't go on like this anymore - you've decided and changed your strategy. You will move gradually and will never give up this time.

It's a wonderful morning. Warm sunlight floods the cozy living room. Aventurine is sitting on the couch with his laptop on his lap. There are mountains of coffee cups near it. It looks like he hasn't slept all night again - he refuses to sleep, afraid to return to the nightmare again. From fatigue, he doesn't even notice you right away and flinches when you put your hands on his shoulders. His body immediately stiffens, but he tries to hide this fact with a smile.

"Good morning, love. Did you sleep well?"
