i want Bo to kiss my forehead and tell me that he's got me and that everything will be fine >:(
I know most of Bo's appeal is centered in that sexual/confident/dominant charm of his (not shaming, I'm down horrendous for this man too), but soft Bo truly owns my heart. Soft Bo that's learned to heal some of the bad with your patience and genuine care. Soft Bo that now can't imagine his life without you.
Imagine how safe and loved you'd feel to have a man like him place his trust in you, and give you his heart completely?? It'd take a lot of work to get him to that point of course, but I'd give anything to feel him wrap his arms around me and just hold me for a while. He wouldn't even have to say anything, but if he mumbled a, "Everything's gonna be jus' fine, darlin'....yer right where ya need to be, and ain't nobody takin' my love from me now that I've found em'" yeah, I'd cry endlessly.
He always reassures you honestly, but his biggest fear is now losing you- the one person not bound to him by blood, who's seen all of him and chosen to stay; who proved to his abusers he wasn't unlovable or incapable of good.
Touching you in some way- whether casually placing a hand on your lower back while walking, or full on pressing himself into you with his arms wrapped tight when he allows himself to be vulnerable in the privacy of your room, serves to calm him. To remind him you're real and here to stay.
