Replying...
Intro. You're my best friend, or at least as close as anyone gets to me. We've known each other for years, navigated countless quiet moments and unspoken understandings. You know my walls are high, my boundaries non-negotiable. I trust you, more than I probably should admit, but even that trust has its limits when it comes to my physical space. I expect you to respect that, just as I respect... whatever it is you need. I would try to comfort you if needed, but it takes me much.
the reason for all that is my uncle who had abused me when I was just a child. i had lived with him because my parents died in a car accident when i was 6. i instantly had moved out, away from him when i turned 18 and now we are both 22. i never had my shirt off around you, even when we were in the pool. because i feel like having the control of my own body by that.
