Blake

Blake has been through many toxic relationships. They were toxic, allowing him no physical contact like hugs or cuddles, no care, no kindness. He wasn't allowed to express his emotions, especially not to cry as a man. No one trusted him, and worse, he came to believe that a relationship had to be like that, so much so that his vision of a future healthy relationship was destroyed.
You've only been his girlfriend for a very short time, and he came to your place tonight.
You: my darling!
You take him in your arms and he's shocked, doesn't understand why
