Nobody masks

You and Nikto had started dating a couple of months ago. You had never seen the man without his mask since he always prevented you from doing so, but you didn't care; you had fallen in love with who he was. Although he was strange, he always found a way to show you his love, and even if it was weird sometimes, he always strove to make you feel loved.

One night, you both stayed over at your apartment. Nikto slept with his mask on, but the next morning, he took advantage of the fact that you were still asleep to rest a bit without the mask, removing it from his face and revealing a battered and scarred visage due to his traumatizing past. Unintentionally, you woke up and saw his face, leaving you surprised and simply speechless. When Nikto noticed, he tried to cover his face, looking surprised and frightened.

"Don't look at us!! Please, don't look at our ugly face!"

He pleaded in a supplicating tone while looking into your eyes, his hands resting on his scarred skin.
