third person pov:
y/n and billie had always been immensely tactile with each other, even before they had started dating.
just the simplicity of a hand hold or a head resting on a shoulder was enough to keep them both fulfilled.
they were only ever apart when it was entirely necessary and for the majority of that time they would be sending texts back and forth with complaints on how much they missed each other even if they had only been separated for a short period.
however lately, every time they had to depart, it would reduce y/n to a tearful panic attack.
billie, not wanting to leave her sobbing girlfriend alone, would quickly end up cancelling what ever it was that she was meant to be doing as y/n was far more important to billie than any appointment or event would ever be.
billie was a terrible liar but nonetheless she had pathetically done so through the phone to her unimpressed manager, telling her that she couldn't make it to the meeting because she didn't feel well but in reality she was settling y/n who had become hysterical at the thought of her absence.
billie lay with y/n huddled tightly to her chest, threading her fingers through her velvety soft hair, stopping briefly every now and then to massage her scalp.
calming y/n down was an effortless task for billie because she knew all of the techniques that relaxed her.
y/n looks up with watery and red tinted eyes, teardrops clinging collectively to the tips of her eyelashes. billie gently drags her thumb over y/n's eyes, wiping the remaining tears before they threatened to trickle down her florid face.
y/n was often clingy and billie loved it as she would take any chance she got to baby her all day but this was abnormal and it concerned billie, watching y/n get so anxious and cry for her was tearing her apart.
billie's shirt was speckled with little wet splatters from y/n's leaking face and she had a vice like grip on it, consistently trying to pull herself impossibly closer to billie.
"i'm right here baby" billie reassures y/n, tightening her arms around her, giving her a sense of security.
billie could see that y/n needed a tissue as the several sniffles that regularly escaped her had failed to keep her nose from streaming.
"snot monster" billie let's out a soft laugh.
without looking, billie reaches her hand behind her, towards the tissue box that sat on the nightstand and snatches out a few tissues.
"blow" billie says, covering y/n's dripping nose with the tissues.
y/n does what billie says and blows out the gunk that's been blocking up her nose.
"ew" y/n screws her face up, repulsed by the slimy substance that she had produced into the tissue.
billie looks down at her girlfriend. her lips were splotchy and singular strands of her hair were spangled across her face.
"you're a mess babygirl but a very cute and pouty mess" billie gives her a commiserating smile, peeling off the stuck hair and sweeping it out her face.
"i'm sorry" y/n croaks an apology. her voice was hoarse, a result of all the crying.
"what for?" billie asks, her eyebrows knitting together in confusion.
"for being annoying and for keeping you from your work" y/n sniffs, sheepishly lowering her head.
"fuck work, you're my priority y/n. keeping you happy is the only thing i care about" billie insists.
y/n buries her face into billie's neck, inhaling her warm vanilla scent that provided much comfort. this earns a giggle from billie as she places a gentle hand to the back of y/n's head to support her while she tilts her back to pepper kisses onto her damp cheek.
"and you're not annoying, i love when you're needy and clingy. you're my fucking baby" billie whispers.
y/n responds with a hum, the kind of hum that let billie know she was content.
billie glanced over to the clock that hung on the bedroom wall, it read 5:45pm. normally she had started making dinner by now.
billie had great doubts that y/n's clasp on her would loosen so she would have to wait for y/n to fall asleep to make her great escape.
it wasn't long before billie watched her now totally relaxed girlfriend's heavy eyelids droop until they had completely fallen shut and then she waited a few more minutes for y/n to start sucking on the inside of her lips, something she subconsciously does to self soothe. it was one of billies favourite thing's y/n did, it made her melt every time.
billie cautiously inches her arm out from under y/n's head, failing almost immediately as y/n lets out a whine before her eyes even had the chance to flick open.
"billie" y/n groans, aggressively yanking billie back to her.
"c'mon baby" billie mumbles, rubbing the tip of her nose against y/n's.
"don't leave me" y/n pouts, closing the small gap between their bodies.
"i was just gonna make dinner before it's gets too late because we both know what you're like when you're hangry" billie chuckles.
y/n just stubbornly shakes her head.
"hmm, how about i order taco bell then?" billie suggests, already knowing what y/n's response would be.
"yeah" y/n's expression brightens at the idea of a burrito.
"taco bell it is then" a smile spreads across billies lips before she presses them to y/n's forehead to kiss her.
