Jorgeous's POV:

I was nudged awake, mumbling softly as I raised my head from Orion's chest. I looked up to see Alyssa, who gave me a small smile.

"Hey, I have to leave early to get my guitar fixed. Can you make sure Orion takes one of these?" She held up a pill bottle, but I couldn't see exactly what it was in the dull light of the room. "Sometimes she forgets to take them in the morning."

I nodded a little, curious about what they were for but didn't ask. Alyssa thanked me as she set the bottle down on the nightstand. She grabbed her guitar case, heading out the door and leaving me alone with Orion.

I settled back down in her arms, leaving small kisses along her jaw and glancing at the pill bottle. I let curiosity get the best of me and reached over, grabbing it and resting my head on Orion's shoulder.

I squinted to read the label. Lexapro. I tilted my head, feeling like I had heard the name before but didn't know what it was for. I reached under Orion's pillow to where my phone had been pushed under during our cuddling, quickly looking it up.

My heart sank when I got the answer I was looking for. I looked back down at the antidepressants in my hand and sighed, placing it back down on the nightstand and snuggling Orion once more.

She had been so tense and and quiet when I first met her. And now she seemed so small and innocent laying beside me. She looked like she could do no wrong. I kissed her forehead and ran a hand through her dark hair. I couldn't stand the thought of something making her sad. I pouted as I thought to myself, and it must've been a while because I was suddenly snapped out of my thoughts.

"Why the pouting?" Orion asked in her sleepy morning voice, eyes still half closed as she ran her thumb over my bottom lip. I immediately blushed, squeaking and hiding my face in her chest.

Orion smiled, sitting up and putting a finger under my chin. "Your hair is a mess. It's cute." She giggled softly. If I could listen to one thing forever it'd probably be that giggle.

"Yours is too-" I huffed and placed my hands on her shoulders. "You're lucky it's the weekend. You slept late."

Orion shrugged and pecked my lips softly. "Even if it wasn't, I'd still ditch my class to cuddle with you."

It wasn't fair the way she made me so flustered. I went to respond until I was lifted up and placed to the side, watching Orion pull herself out of bed. "I gotta feed Jazzy." She said as she grabbed the cat's food bowl. "Then I'm holding you more and you have to deal with it."

There was no way I was gonna complain about that. I watched her feed Jazzy, smiling a little as I admired how much she adored that cat until I saw the pill bottle in the corner of my eye. I hesitated before carefully grabbing it. "Uh...Alyssa told me to remind you to take one." I held them up to her.

Orion turned around and sighed softly, placing the bag of cat food back down. "I will." She said softly as she grabbed them. "Even though I told her not to tell you about them."

I pouted, wanting to reach my arms out for more cuddles but held myself back. "Why? Are you embarrassed by them?"

Orion hesitated before slowly nodding, and I watched to make sure she actually took one of the pills. "Y-Yeah, I guess so. I thought you'd see me differently." She finally admitted after taking it.

I finally gave in and held my arms out for her, giving her puppy eyes. "You shouldn't be embarrassed by that. I..." I trailed off when realizing what I was about to say.
