Trigger Warnings: Self-harm scars mention, speak of self-injury, mention of sex
Summary: Tom learns the reason behind your long sleeves, and assures you that it won't stop him from loving you.
He looked absolutely amazing at tonight's event, the suit, the hair, everything about Tom was stunning.
He had taken you as his date tonight, your first public appearance since you started dating 7 months ago. You wore a gorgeous red long-sleeve silk gown, with a high slit up the leg and a low back, your skin mostly covered by your hair, much to Tom's request. He got jealous when other guys ogled at you.
You watched from the sidelines as he answered interview questions and engaged with the lucky fans who got to attend, beaming with pride for him.
As the night progressed Tom and you had had a few drinks and Tom began secretly whispering dirty things in your ear every chance he could get. Each time he did, you could not hide the blush on your cheeks, giving him a gentle slap on the arm, reminding him to behave himself.By the time your ride home had arrived, you and Tom had sobered up a little, and were talking about your favourite parts of the night.
"My utter most favourite though, was seeing your pretty little face get all embarrassed at the things I said." He purred at you.
"Still not quite the right place for that kind of talk, Hiddleston." You laughed. "Maybe wait until this poor gentleman has dropped us off."When the car came to a stop, Tom payed the driver generously and held his hand out, helping you get out the car. He walked with you, arm in arm to his front door as the car sped off. A gust of wind blew as Tom unlocked the front door and you shivered.
"Hurry up, it's cold!" You whined.He chuckled and unlocked the door, gesturing you to go first. He walked in behind you and put the keys in the lock, turning it and putting on the security chain. You struggled to take of your heels as Tom slipped his jacket on the coat rack.
You turned lights on as you went through the house, making a direct journey to his bedroom - pajamas were much needed. As you were picking out your nightwear Tom walked into his room and snuck his big hands around your waist from behind and pulled you into him softly.
"Ready for bed already, my sweet?" He said softly, you leaned your head back against his chest lovingly.
"I'm just ready to be out of this dress." You giggled.
"Then let me do the honors." He purred.
He hooked his fingers over the shoulders and you panicked. You couldn't let him see what you hid behind those sleeves. Quickly, you turned around and kissed him.
Tom looked at you wide eyed and confused.
"Sorry, sweetheart, but I'd rather change in the bathroom like I usually do." You said apologetically. One day you would have to tell him but not tonight. He was so happy, you didn't want to ruin it by bringing him down."It's alright, love." He smiled. You walked past him, clothing in hand and he sat down on the bed as the door clicked behind you.
Tom began to undress himself, feeling slightly disappointed that even after months of dating you still weren't comfortable showing your body around him. His mind started to wander, and he worried that maybe he wasn't making you feel secure enough. He let his mood slip as he mindlessly stripped himself, until he was just sat in boxers when you opened the door again, fully covered."Darling?" He said in a sad tone.
"Yes?" You replied, worried at how different his mood had become.
"Do I make you feel insecure.. in any way?"You stopped for a moment, that question definitely wasn't what you expected. You looked at your boyfriend, with sad eyes, biting his lip and felt your heart sigh.
"No.." You said softly. "Where did you get that idea from?" You sat down beside him, taking his hand in yours.
He looked into your eyes and you tried your best to see what he was thinking.
"I would never force you to do anything that made you uncomfortable.. but you never show your body around me. And I need to know if I've made you feel that you can't. Or that you shouldn't."
You felt your heart sink. He deserved to know the truth.
"I know it's still early in our relationship," He continued. "But I think I love you. And I'd do anything for you.. but if I don't make you feel comfortable and loved, I am truly sorry and perhaps you deserve someone else."
