Waylon Reavis x M. Reader
*3rd person pov*
Waylon sat on his couch, his cat Polly sat on his lap. He would run his fingers through her fur every once in a while. However he was not paying that much attention to what was going on around him. all of his focus was on the words you muttered to him before you left in a hurry this morning.
Waylon stirred awake because of the shuffling on your side of the bed. He opens his eyes and rolls over to see you getting dressed to go to work.
You looked heavenly. The light glistening off of your still damp skin after the shower. Droplets of water falling form the tips of your hair. Waylon could not help but to stare at you with a loving gaze in his brown eyes.
"Sorry for waking you up babe, I'm kind of running late" you sheepishly look up at him. Waylon couldn't tell you if it was his sleepy mind still not being fully awake or it was the way the sun beams bounced off of your eyes and made look even more welcoming than usual, but you took his breath away.
"It's ok sweetheart." was all he could say as he lovingly gazes at you. You quickly throw on your work shirt and run your hands through your damp hair, you lean over to him and kiss his lips.
"Hey, I love you Way. I'll see you after work" you pecked him again and then leave the apartment.
Waylon has been playing those words; "I love you", over and over in his head, not believing that you said them, thinking that it was a cruel trick that his mind played on him.
He decided to call Jason and just talk to him to get his mind off of things.
"Hey Jason, how are you?" he asks his voice sounding a bit off, as if he is still stuck in his headspace.
"Not much man, are you ok? Did something happen between you and Y/n?" Jason asks.
"No, nothing bad happened, he just said something that kind of threw me off a bit."
"What did he say?" Jason inquires, a feeling of protectiveness for his friend's feelings overtaking him.
"He said he loved me this morning." Waylon breaths out, "He has never told me that. I mean we exchange the I like you's and whatnot, but never I love you's."
"Well man, o me that sounds like a good thing." Jason starts, a silly smile resting on his lips, "You care for him dearly, and now he obviously cares for you as well. So there is really nothing to worry about." he concludes.
"I tell you what, Y/n's shift ended 15 minutes ago, so he should be home right about ow. Go talk to him, tell him how you feel and put your self to rest." Jason suggests o which Waylon agrees and they bid the other farewell.
As soon as Waylon hangs up with Jason, you walk into the apartment. You had a smile on your face the moment your eyes landed on your boyfriend.
You skip towards him and jump over the back of the couch and land next to him. In response to the sudden movement Polly fixes you with a disapproving and judgmental glare and then stalks off to some other part o the apartment. You and Waylon laugh at her antics and then set into a calm and relaxed silence.
"I love you too" Waylon mumbles, his eyes fixed on your intertwined fingers. You look at him with a smile that he believes could brighten anyone's day.
"I love you more" you challenge playfully.
"Well I love even more." He bits back, a friendly smile on his lips.
You two kept bickering back and forth about who loves the other more. In the end what mattered is that you both cared about each other deeply and would always look out for the other no matter what.
