🥀Locked Out🥀

—————————
Gundham's P.O.V
—————————-
I had just left my day job at the Animal Shelter and was heading home to my Kazuichi. I had missed him particularly much today and was more than elated to finally see him again. My love hadn't been looking too well this morning and was rather moody, but hopefully he was back to his usual self.

Shortly after leaving, I arrived at our flat. I grabbed my house key from out of my coat pocket. After unlocking the door, I walked inside. "Kazuichi! I have returned!" I removed my shoes but was surprised to not see or hear a response yet. "Kaz? Dark Prince? Paramour?" I called out all of his favorite nicknames as I searched the first level of the house for him. I decided to check upstairs and noticed a light coming from beneath the door of the bathroom.
The worst thoughts immediately filled my brain as I rushed to open the door. I moved to open it but the door was locked.
I was rigid with panic for a few seconds but shook it off quickly collected myself.

"Kazuichi, please, open the door." I asked in a calm voice. That was important. To stay calm. However it was taking everything I had in me to not kick down the door and stop my love from doing whatever he was intending to do. I heard quiet sobs from the other side and breathed a sigh of relief. At least he was still alive. He muttered something that I couldn't quite make out. "What was that?" No answer except for his quiet crying.
"Love? Are you okay? What's going on?" I asked all these questions, one, to make sure he's okay. But also to calm my raging nerves.
"I said I'm sorry, Gundham! I'm sorry for making you take care of me! I'm sorry for always making you worry! AND I'M SORRY I FORCED YOU TO LOVE ME!!"
Forced?
"Kazuichi. My paramour. My love. What do you mean forced? You didn't force anything! I love you and have ever since we attended Hope's Peak together. Don't tell my you forgot that?"
More sobs were heard from the other side of the door. "Of course I didn't forget, stupid. But it feels like I guilt tripped you into starting a relationship with me. It feels like the only reason you're still with me is out of pity. Pity over my life. My dad. My depression. Do you only stay with me because you feel sorry for me?" He sniffled and let out a shaky breath. I sighed and leaned my back against the door. I slowly slid down until I was sitting on the floor. "Do you think I dated you for 6 years because I felt sorry for you? Do you think I proposed to you out of pity? Kazuichi....do you honestly think I married you because of something like that?" There was silence for a while. More than what I was comfortable with. Until he finally spoke up.
"....No, but it's always been a fear of mine." He said hesitantly.
I heard the doorknob move and stood up. In the doorway stood Kaz, tear stains cheeks and hair disheveled. But he still looked handsome to me. I enveloped him in a hug and stroked his hair. "Just know that fear will never come true. I'll always love you for you. No other reason besides that. Okay?" I felt him nod against my shoulder. "And Kazuichi?" He pulled back and looked at me. "I love you." He smiled and another tear slid down his face, although I'm sure this was one of happiness.
"I love you too, Gundham."

A/N:
So yeah.....the ending was kinda shit BUT I've been having a lot of writer's block recently so this was the best I could do. I'm running out of ideas so leave a recommendation in the comments. I'll take anything at this point.
