Allowing him time to rebuild his boundaries.
Asking if it’s okay to hug him. If it’s alright to hold his hand. If you can kiss him. Slinking into his tent in the wee hours of the morning, drowsily asking if he would like to cuddle. And he can’t help chuckling at how cautious you are with him. You’re the one who is vulnerable here. Eventually, he gets fed up with you walking on eggshells around him.
“If you want something of me, my love,” he croons into the crown of your head, holding you close and massaging all the world's worries from between your shoulder blades, “You don’t always have to ask.”
