;3; My cuties<333 I'm so happy to see Flea slowly allowing himself to become soft and loved. Becoming vulnerable, especially with trauma is so hard and scary. Although I don't have The Detective's particular trauma, it all felt the same as my fight, fight, freeze response for mine. I could also relate to Flea being scared but yearning to be seen by the person they care for as well. As always I love your writing and eagerly look forward to the next one! Definitely take as much time as you need to write and have fun! ^v^
(PS: I love that the menu has Flea in his relaxed appearance)
