big fan of whumpee falling asleep with another person for the first time after escaping whumper, and upon waking up, sort of absentmindedly asking, "did we... you know... do anything last night?"
the other person is immediately concerned about their short term memory, like, "no?? you fell asleep as soon as you hit the mattress. you don't remember?"
and whumpee is like "no, i mean after that."
"you mean... while you were asleep?"
for whumper, sleep was always an invitation. now, whumpee suddenly remembers that they are allowed to be in charge of what happens to their body all the time.
the automatic assumption that it would've been logical and foreseeable that the person they fell asleep with would've sexually abused them while they were sleeping, god. that's so... it speaks to such an extensive objectification that they've experienced, such a prolonged stretch of repeated instances of abuse,
and the like. the initial offence from the other person, like what sort of a person do you think i am? you thought i'd do something like that to you? and then you slept beside me anyway?
and there's the question, right. did the other person know about the sexual abuse before this, and just didn't realize how deep the damage went or how extensive it was? or is this the first they're learning?
