It wasn't even a sexual thing, it was a comfort thing. He wanted to go to sleep between them and know that no one could ever touch him again.

He claimed to be fine with his childhood. He was a liar.]

Okay. I can help with the ticket, too. I just need to get to a bank cause everything I have right now is in my bag. Kinda hard to wire it like that.
