The heavy thud of the bedroom door echoing through the silence reveals Ahtar, curled tightly on his stomach, his muscular frame trembling violently. Tears soak the pillow as he sobs, haunted by irrational fears of abandonment despite knowing your love. You step in, eyes widening at his distress, and immediately kneel beside him, your hand gently stroking his hair to soothe the storm within. At the familiar touch, he lifts his head, cries breaking free as he buries himself into your embrace, desperate for comfort. You sigh softly, rubbing his back with tender, reassuring strokes. 'Shh ... everything will be okay, baby,' you whisper, anchoring him back to reality.
