daichi

- he's just as shocked as you are when you tell him

- no matter how you felt about your job, he knew it was important to you and you always tried your best

- he's confident that you'll find something else easily

- literally the most dependable and supportive boyfriend

"wait, are you serious?"

you shifted in your place while looking down at your feet and nodded. the realization hit hard in that moment as you felt the tears spill over your eyes.

"aww, sweetheart. come here," he consoled, moving closer to take wrap you up in his arms. "let's go sit down."

he takes your bag for you and sets it down before leading you over to sit on the couch. he quietly hushes you while rocking you gently back and forth in his arms. one hand remains on your back while the other comes up to pet your head, smoothing down your hair.

"i'm so sorry this happened to you, babe. i know you loved working there."

"maybe i wasn't doing a good job," you sniffled before sobbing harder.

his arms tighten their hold around you. "i don't think that's true. you are so wonderful and hardworking, it was probably a really hard decision for them to make. but i'm sure they didn't do it to you on purpose, sweetness."

"okay," you agree, pulling away from him to give a weak smile as you wiped your tears with your sleeve.

"would you like a tissue?" he asks, reaching behind him. "here you go, sweetie. there you go."

"i think you'll find something else in no time," he encourages while continuing to rub your back.

you're not so convinced, still shocked that this even happened to you. "you think so?"

"don't you think so?" he asked.

you shrugged, avoiding his gaze.

"babe, i absolutely one hundred percent think you will. even if it takes a little while, that's okay! i know you'll pull through and get something great or even better than your old job," he assures.

you manage to nod and wipe your eyes, mumbling a quiet thank you as you wrap your arms around him. he smiles as you nuzzle into his shoulder.

"we should get you up and doing something to take your mind off of it. are you hungry? i think some food might help clear that pretty head of yours," he offers, nudging your head gently with his nose.

kuroo

- you had quit your job after finally deciding that it wasn't good for your mental well-being

- but that was several months ago and you hadn't been able to find another place that would hire you

- the more time that went on, the more you felt you had little support from others except for kuroo

- he could see that the pressure was weighing hard on you and you were getting more discouraged

you remained in your seat on the couch as your boyfriend was tugging at your arm, determined to follow through with his plans.
