Let's be honest, Guzma isn't the best at comforting others. He's even had trouble keeping his own Pokémon from getting upset. It's all stemmed from how he was raised, but he's been getting better because of you.

Lately though, you've been having some issues of your own, and he's been having trouble getting you to calm down. Nightmares mostly, about them, again and again you suffer from their torment. You can't even seem to escape them if you aren't awake and curled up against your boyfriend. He was less than happy to know that the dreams have been becoming more frequent.

He knows exactly what happened with your ex, mostly because he was the one who ended it for you before they took your soul entirely. You two were friends previously to your relationship with your ex. When your ex told you to start cutting people out of your life, Guzma put his foot down.

"You're just going to let them control you Y/N? Where are they right now? I have a few things I'd like to say myself."

"I had to sneak out, they're still at "home", probably asleep."

"Well they'll be waking up real soon whether they want to or not."

Guzma had thought about killing them at some point, most of those thoughts rushing in when you wake up gasping for air.

"Y/N, hey you're ok..."

"But! I-"

"It was just a dream. Look around you for a second."

".....I'm sorry for waking you up again."

"Don't be. I don't sleep much in general anyways."

You didn't want to tell him everything they did, and he probably couldn't handle it if you did. He's suffered some levels of abuse himself, but it's very different for you. It was all because of them that you flinch so much when people go in for a hug, or to show some form of affection. He just does his best to keep you happy around him, which isn't exactly hard since you view him as a sort of savior. The only time that issues arise is when he gets angry, but because of you, he's learning to curve that anger of his.

It sometimes keeps him up at night. 'What did they do to you Y/N?' He'd never have the guts to ask, at least, not yet. Maybe one day, but until either of you are ready, you'll continue to lean on each other for support. God knows just how much you need each other right now.
