Tw Night Terrors - Tumblr Posts
This is sort of an emergency request, I still haven’t gotten over the trauma of being sexually assaulted at 15, raped at 16 and sexually abused at 17. So MC is dealing with her trauma and hates being touched unless she initiates it otherwise she flinches or runs away (I personally suffer night terrors) for either Leo, Arthur, Comte, Vincent or Theo. I understand if you’re uncomfortable with this request, just thought I’d ask anyway. Plz and thank you.
A/N: I hope this is any good and that I approached this somewhat well, if you ever need anything else, feel free to ask!
TW: dealing with trauma, night terrors
Leo:
Ok, in the begining, there might be some misunderstandings, because Leo is a touchy guy.
But as soon as you give him a sign or tell him you're not comfortable with being touched, he'll stop.
He will ask why, but won't force you to talk.
If you decide to tell him at some point, his reaction will be calm at first glance.
Trust me, he's angry on the inside that such horrible things happen mostly to innocent people, but won't show it, because it won't help anything.
He'll just thank you for sharing this with him.
And asks how that will affect your relationship.
He'll remember everything you tell him, what you are and are not comfortable with etc.
You can count on him to be with you through thick and thin, if you want him to of course.
He's more than capable of giving you space or comfort, whatever you seek at the moment.
Especially with your night terrors. Whatever you need, he'll try and help you get it.
He's just very respectful and supportive and let's you control how the relationship evolves.
Arthur:
Again, you might have a rocky start, since Artie is a heavy flirt.
However, once he sees how uncomfortable he makes you feel, he'll stop his advances.
I think given his deduction skills, he'd suspect that there's something more serious behind this behaviour of yours.
And that's exactly why he won't ask about it.
He has his own traumas and understands how annoying and invasive it is to pry.
So he bonds with you while respecting your boundaries.
Since he doesn't ask, he doesn't know anything, so he might help himself with his deductions when it comes to you and what you would and wouldn't be comfortable with.
Listens intently to anything and everything you decide to share with him, because he knows how important it is to have someone who just listens and is there, without comparing, or judging.
After that, he would probably act similar to Leo.
Comte:
Comte is a gentleman, so there's a big chance you'll feel the most comfortable around him and right from the beginning too.
He's not really one to invade personal space.
He has a great understanding of boundaries.
Definitely is a great buddy for night terrors too, he can soothe anyone and anything, because he's charming like that.
He would be one of the more protective out of the bunch.
It would be really subtle though.
He can't help but feel at ease when somebody's escorting you when you go out, even if it's just Sebas.
But no matter how much he wants nothing bad to happen to you ever again, he reminds himself that this is about you and not him.
So if you want someone to accompany you to do the shopping, he'll arrange it, but if you don't, he won't complain.
On the other hand, he loves how strong you are and how far you've come and that you're still working on dealing with everything every day.
And he'll show that that through many gifts ^^
Vincent:
Another one that you can feel comfortable around right from the beginning.
He, too, wouldn't ask any questions.
He doesn't understand like Arthur does, he just...doesn't feel the need to know. He understands that you have your reasons and you don't have to explain yourself.
I feel like he'd be a great person to come to when you're feeling down or after a night terrors.
No matter the time or if you've woken him up, he'll stay awake with you, trying his best to comfort you, even though it doesn't come to him as naturally as with Comte.
He also listens without interrupting.
However, expect him to cry.
He is known for being positive and happy and calm all the time, but he can't. Not now.
If Leo was angry because of what happened to you, Vincent would be devastated, crushed, but both for the same reason, you didn't deserve it.
He'll be careful with you. Like, super careful.
He knows you don't like being touched, but even if you initiate it, his touches will be feather light.
He just doesn't want to accidentally make you uncomfortable.
Theo:
I think in the beggining, his attitude might drive you away, but still don't see him as someone who would invade your personal space.
You could be straightforward with him and tell him you don't like being touched and he'd keep it in mind.
But I also could see him be the most curious one of the bunch.
He will ask why and if you don't tell him, he'll act offended for a little while, before he realizes that a) it's none of his business and b) it might not be an easy thing to talk about.
After that, you won't have any troubles with him.
His reaction to your story would be a mix of Leo's and Vincent's.
He'd feel devastated, but would appear calm and serious.
If you come to him with your night terrors, he'll try to stay awake, but given how much he works, he would fall asleep before you do.
In that case, just wake him up again. After a few rounds he'll be awake enough ;)
He'd wreck his brain to find ways to comfort you, since he isn't good with words and you don't like being touched.
He'd show he cares through being protective, however more visibly than Comte.
If you're going to a place where there's bound to be a lot of people, like the market or an event, he'll accompany you.
And if he doesn't have time, he'll ask Vincent, hell maybe even Arthur!
Also doesn't trust strangers around you.
If this would make you feel coddled, you'd have to talk to him about it, set boundaries.
He's hot headed, he means well, but sometimes scts before he thinks.
