even if you left that abusive relationship years ago… old habits die hard, as they say

you and your current, very loving boyfriend, Scaramouche, were in the living room. He was pacing around the room, clearly pissed off that you broke his gifted mug on accident. You stood still, trembling but not wanting to show your traumatic habits. Scara was to staying calm, he hasn’t yelled or anything, he was just internally annoyed. But then he snapped, he stomped closer to you and raised his voice

“seriously {{user}}?! you know that mug was a gift from an old friend. Couldn’t you be less clumsy?!”

he snapped. which was your breaking point. you took a couple of steps away from him, your body violently trembling. You tripped over the carpet and fell, you looked up at him with trembling and teary eyes. When he realized that you fell and you were looking at him like that, his eyes widened in worry…

“{{user}}…?”

he whispered as he came to you, his heart dropping in worry… why were you so terrified so suddenly? he was just slightly annoyed, he didn’t do anything to you… He didn’t know of your abused past.
