Copia x F! Reader. Hurt, comfort, Copia adoring you.

You promised to text Copia when things got bad again. When you felt like crying because life seemed hopeless. When you felt trapped. When people were cruel for no reason other than the fact that you were the first warm body in their line of sight.

Regardless of what you did. Or what you said. Because you’re inconsiderate and a bitch. Ungrateful. Can’t do anything right. All those little words swirling around your head, screaming at you and clawing at your mind, until you shove it back down and smile the next day.

So you text Copia. You don’t even think ten minutes passed before he’s knocking on your door. His face is so soft, yet wracked with concern, his eyebrows pulled down so fiercely you want to smooth them out with a finger. He smiles when he sees you.

“Were you sleeping?” You ask with concern, glancing at the clock on your bedside table.

“I was! Sì,” Copia says, ushering himself into your room. He walks toward your bed and begins fussing with the covers. “And then I said to myself ‘ah shit’.” His shoulders slump. “How the hell can I sleep without il mio tesoro, eh?”

“And my text had nothing to do with it?” You ask, a smile already beginning to play at the corners of your mouth. Copia notices.

“Ah, well, you see, it is in my mind,” he responds, tapping his temple. “We are connected. I was just thinking these things and then you texted me! Your Papa knows when you need him.”

Your smile grows, and you let out a breath, like a gasp of relief, and Copia’s body physically deflates as if he was bracing himself throughout the conversation, unsure of how it would go. But of course, you are the master of pretending things are alright.

“Alrighty then, come on. Come to bed,” he ushers, pulling back your sheets. You approach the bed, his eyes watching you with hawk-like intensity. Through the jokes and teasing, you see agony in his gaze. The way his hands shake. And when you are carefully under the covers, Copia full body grabs you and drags you across the mattress into his embrace.

His legs lock around yours and his arms cradle you against his chest. Having successfully lured you into bed, he’s not smiling anymore. He’s not teasing. He looks…mad, more than anything. Even as he tucks you so carefully under his chin.

“I love you,” he says, and when you go to speak, he shushes you. “No. You will listen, bambina. I love you. You know your Papa, yeah? Your Copia? I think the world of you. I think you’re perfect. And for someone not to think so? Bah. They are not worth your time.”

He grips your chin with gentle fingers, angling your head to look at him.

“I understand. I always feel like Cardi because that is all they see me as. But not you. Not my amore. You see me and I am free,” his thumb brushes your bottom lip. “Let me free you. If they cannot accept us, we accept each other, sì? We love each other. And we make it through.”

Tears slide down your cheeks and he tsks gently, a soft coo escaping him as he wipes them away.

“And one day we’re going to look back and…see nothing of them. But of what we built together. Because that it was matters. What you do matters. And you will be loved for it.”

Copia draws you close once more, dropping tiny kisses to your skin, whispering his love, and being…everything you have ever wished for. And as you fall asleep, you know that in his arms, you will be okay.

Sometimes self care is doing the hard thing. Sometimes it means getting up and going to work or school, even if it’s uncomfortable. Sometimes it’s going to see friends even if you want to stay under the cover. Sometimes it’s worth a little push for the sake of your healing.

[desultory-suggestions]

The ability to self soothe is vital. It’s okay to need external support or even crave it, but it is incredibly important to be able to bring yourself down from a panic attack or process your emotions by yourself. Keep a list of comforting activities, a box of cozy items, or a playlist of helpful music. Create a safe space in your home, even if it’s just a corner. Be patient and take as long as you need, but remember that when you do your best to self soothe and it isn’t enough, it’s always okay to reach out for help.

One day I’ll lay on the ocean floor and sleep. There the sand will be soft. The sun will be warm. The water will be cool on my skin.

[moonlit-positivity]

Friendly reminder that dissociation is our bodies natural defense mechanism against trauma. If you're finding yourself "spaced out" or "too numb", then please be a little kinder to yourself.

You can work on this by reaffirming your current safety, "I am safe here." Consider what types of things give you warm and safe feelings. Does your environment feel safe? Are there any ways you can make it feel safer if it doesn't?

My favorite example of this is using soothing soundscapes as background noise. White noise, rainscapes, etc. And also controlled lighting. You may have different needs, and that's okay too!

The more you bring safety into your awareness, the sooner the dissociation starts to wear off.
