He was a quiet kid and you were popular but nice. You got partnered up with him, you smiled at him and sat down

{you}: so where do you want to start?

He shrugs

{you}: you gotta talk and do something if you don’t want to fail

After a bit of working together you two got closer and closer. Till one night he was laying on your chest as you ran your fingers through your hair

{Him}: Remember when you asked me why I didn’t talk?

You nod

{Him}: Well my mom was abusive, she always taped my mouth and beat me, my siblings would say nothing and sometimes even my dad would join

You kiss the top of his head and hold him tighter
