Trinity is such a cuddle bug when she lets her walls down completely.

Once she knows you're not going anywhere, like really knows, there's a softer side that seeps through.

Her friends notice it in small increments and it freaks them the fuck out.

Of course they've seen you resting your head on Trinity's shoulder or her having an arm wrapped around your waist.

But they have NEVER seen Trinity act anywhere close to the word clingy.

Sure Dennis saw how being with the surgeon, who isn't allowed to have a name considering how angry that woman makes you, changed Trinity but this was different.

With you she's soft and needy and almost nice, but never let her hear that last part because she will deny it.

Trinity Santos is not nice, in her words.

She even eases up on the sarcasm when you're around because she doesn't feel the need to hide.

When Dennis comes home one night with Trinity sitting in your lap his eyes practically bulge out of his head.

And the craziest thing is Trinity just smiles and tucks her head under your neck while you're watching a movie.

And one night when Victoria crashes at Trinity's apartment, while you're there, she damn near spits out her water when Trinity asks you to help her open something for the dinner she's making.

It wasn't anything loud or inherently crazy, but Trinity giving up her control was the last thing Victoria expected to see that night.

You knew Trinity could open the container, but having her reach out to you never fails to make your brain feel a bit fuzzy.

And don't get it twisted, it took A LOT for you and Trinity to get to this place, but you couldn't be prouder of her.

You bring out each other's inner child and like it's the most natural thing for both of you.

She turns to you when she needs something and you look for her when you need an outlet to stim.

She listens to you talk and ramble and let out all the animation you mask throughout the day without fear of being told you're too loud.

If anything she purposefully asks questions she already knows the answer to just to see you get excited by giving her a response.

You bring out the hidden beauty in each other and it's something Dennis and Victoria will never get tired of seeing.

The first time it scared them shitless, but now they know you two are the definition of love.

There are ups and downs, but at the end of the day you and Trinity have learned to run towards each other after years of feeling like people will only ever run away.
