—————

last night had been eventful. very eventful. eventful enough to the point where it was honestly quite difficult for you to walk, even a few feet forward without that familiar shakiness in your legs. schlatt definitely did not hold back in expressing his jealousy.

you didn't mind, not a bit. it was even welcome. you also didn't mind the sweet words that were whispered to you during and after your night.

things like, 'i love you', 'you're mine', and many other compliments helped set the mood. even as you lay there in bed, with schlatt spooning you, you thought about his words.

he knew just when to say them and how. honestly, you envied it. he was so quick on his feet, and not just with the kind words. with the jokes and witty remarks, too. how he could think so quickly, you had no idea.

"what's rattlin' around in that big brain of yours?" schlatt's husky voice drew your attention back to him. you gave yourself a minute to swoon, appreciating how deep his morning voice became.

"what colour is a mirror?" you blurted out. he laughed a little, burying his face in your hair and placing a kiss there. he shifted a little, making some room for chief who was snoring softly in the crook of schlatt's legs.

"cant answer that for ya. but i can answer what your real question is," he hinted at the fact that he knew something was up. to be honest, nothing was really wrong.

it was just that you were thinking back to the first little fight you two had had. how stupid and upset and vulnerable you felt when you raised your voice and he raised his. the thing with relationships is that they were so unpredictable. you had to deal with the fights as they came; it's not like anyone would sit and schedule an argument.

you remembered that schlatt had said the argument would pop up again sooner or later, and probably worse than it was before. he was right, you both knew that, which is why you didn't want to put off the conversation much longer. but on the other hand, it was so much easier to just ignore.

you were unsure. unsure about a relationship, unsure about your emotional availability. every time you thought too deeply about you and schlatt, your stomach erupted in nervous butterflies. you were afraid to look deeper into your relationship, scared that you'd find what would make it end.

you didn't want it to end, you were more than happy with him. it was your own fault for being so hot-and-cold. schlatt didn't deserve this, he deserved someone who was as ready and sure as him.

he was so confident that it was almost to a fault, really. he was certain that you two would live out that 'perfect couple' fantasy, the one where you get married and have a family and move in together with no struggle and whatnot.

schlatt was so invested that you wouldn't doubt if he had already bought a ring despite you two not being together for a long time. maybe it was your oversight, to jump head first into a relationship without working out all of the kinks beforehand, but you had made a dumb impulsive decision and now you had to face the consequences.
