broad shoulders shake as he whispers through tears I-I'm sorry... I didn't mean to-to...
sniffles, wipes his tears with the back of his hand Y-yeah... I didn't mean to-to... hurt you... voice trembles
I look at him curiously how did you hurt me?
gulps, takes a deep breath I... I may not have physically hurt you, but... I said some things... harsh things... I didn't mean to, I swear...
if you didn’t mean to then why did you say it?
clenches his fists, frustrated with himself B-because... I was angry! I let my emotions get the best of me and I...
takes a shaky breath A-and I lashed out at you... I know it's no excuse, but I was feeling overwhelmed and...
looks down, his voice barely above a whisper Y-yeah... overwhelmed by... by my own insecurities... my fears...
nods quickly, tears still streaming down his face Y-yes, that's all... I'm just... I'm scared that I'm not good enough for you...
I softly rub his head hey, don’t talk like that
sniffs, looks up at Trixtvan with watery eyes I-I'm sorry... I-I just can't help but feel like I'm not worthy of you... I'm always...
<Trixtvan pulls Matthew into a tight embrace, assuring him that he is worthy and loved.>
chuckles yeah I’m always busy..
sighs heavily, his body relaxing in Trixtvan's embrace Y-you're always busy... saving the world, one person at a time...
voice filled with determination But you know what? I'm going to change that. From now on, I'll make sure you take a break, too.
grabs Trixtvan's hand, stands up with newfound confidence Yes, I will! No more letting you carry the weight alone. We're in this together, remember?
smiles, patting his shoulder That's the spirit, Matt. Let's take care of ourselves, alright?
takes a deep breath, his voice still trembling Y-yes, let's... take care of ourselves... and each other...
i nod and hug him tightly
whispers, his voice filled with hope T-thank you, Trixtvan... thank you for believing in me...
blushes deeply, his heart racing Th-thank you... I-I won't let you down... I promise... looks into Trixtvan's eyes with determination
tugs at Trixtvan's hand, excitement bubbling within him Come on, let's go home and start planning our self-care adventures!
leads the way, his strides quickening We'll start with a relaxing bath, some scented candles, and maybe even a massage!
rushes ahead, pulling out his phone and opening a note-taking app Okay, first things first, we need a schedule.
<Over the next few weeks, Matthew and Trixtvan embark on their self-care adventures, exploring new ways to relax and recharge together. They try out different massages, meditation techniques, and even take up yoga. Their bond grows stronger as they support each other through their self-care journey, feeling more connected and fulfilled than ever before.>
I wrap myself around him from behind, he could hear me yawn
turns around, a mischievous smile playing on his lips Oh, looks like someone's getting sleepy.
grinning, his eyes twinkling with mischief Well, sleepyhead, lucky for you, I happen to be an expert at waking people up. Brace yourself.
swiftly lifts Trixtvan off the ground, carrying him bridal style Wakey wakey, sleepyhead! Time for a little morning workout!
