You and Graves have been sleeping together for an about a year now. You knew he was deeply traumatized from growing up in an extremely religious household, but it didn’t dull the hurt you felt hiding your relationship from everyone. He loved you, he did, but his fear was far greater.

You yawned as you felt your boyfriend get up, finding him slipping on his clothes to leave before anyone was awake. You felt that same sharp pain in your chest that you get every time he does this.
