TW! : anxiety, mentions of sexual harassment, body appearance& bullying
the tears continued to roll down their cheeks as angel put their car into park on the drive way. they wiped their eyes, looking in the mirror to check, seeing them, red and puffy, david would definitely be able to see that somethings wrong, hell, he'd be able to tell even if they didn't look as though they'd been crying for the last six hours, which they had been. their phone went off, david had messaged them, asking them where they were, since they were half and hour late getting home.
davey 💖 ; where are you Angel? are you ok?
me ; i'm fine, just pulled up
angel replied, figuring they had to leave their car now. they let out a large sigh as they opened the door and then shut it after them. they took in a breath as they opened the front door. they slipped their shoes off, and hung up their coat and bag. "i'm home!" angel called out, trying to sound as normal as possible. "ok! i'm in the living room" david shouted back, the sounds from the tv indicating he was playing halo with asher. "i'm just going to get changed" angel spoke, walking passed david as quickly as they good. david looked over at them and smiled, not being able to see their face.
angel practically ran up the stairs and into their's and davey's bedroom. they shut the door behind them, locking it too, and that's when they broke down, letting out all of the upset they had been trying to hold in throughout the day. as they heard his voice replay inside their head. the other workers laughing along with him, trying to make their new co-worker like them. not giving a damn about angel. the disgusting phrases he said to them throughout the day, followed by horrible comments about their appearance. they replayed, over and over again.
and who do we have here? Jesus Christ, didn't know they were letting animals work jobs now
angel clutched their head in their hands, letting out the cries, desperately trying to stay silent, david didn't need to have to comfort them after yet another awful day at work.
too bad such an disgusting looking human has such a nice ass he spoke before slapping it
who does that to someone? angel cried, they cried and cried. they felt disgusting, he made them feel disgusting, and not one of their other co-workers said anything, did anything.
ha! the person who has been here so much longer than me fucked up something that simple? who the fuck hired someone as useless as you? he laughed, they all laughed with him.
more tears were falling, their hands were soaked in them.
do you even speak? helloooooo? what a rude bitch, not even speaking to me, i could write you up for that y'know, disrespecting another co-worker. he walked away, and returned a few moments later with their boss. (angel) we've spoken about this, you can't keep ignoring everyone in this place, it's rude and disrespectful! and quite frankly, i'm finding you rather rude and disrespectful right now! so if you don't make your new co-worker feel welcome, you're out! got it?
they wanted to scream at them in that moment, asked what they had done wrong. their boss knew they struggled with social anxiety, and had a hard time talking to new people. they wanted to tell them about all of the horrible things their new co-worker had been doing and saying to them all day, but like always their throat closed up, and they tried to hold back the tears.
"angel?" they heard david call out, "o-one minute!" they called out, standing up, walking over to their bathroom and throwing as much cold water as they could over their face. "angel? why's the door locked?" david questioned, angel didn't reply, they simply walked over to the door and unlocked it, "oh angel, what's wrong?" david questioned as he walked in and shut the door after him, he didn't know why he did, there was no-one else in the house. "i just had a bad day at work" angel sighed as they sat down on the edge of the bed. "you're not fooling anyone, this was more than just a bad day, what happened?" david asked as he sat down next to angel. wrapping an arm around their shoulder.
"w-well, we had a new guy start at my work today, a-and he wasn't very n-nice to m-me" angel spoke, chocking up a little again. "what do you mean he wasn't very nice to you?" david questioned, his protective instinct kicking in. "h-he, made fun of me for not being able to talk to h-him, he c-called me an a-animal, h-he called m-me useless. a-and he t-told my b-boss i was being r-rude and d-disrespectful towards him, i-i wasn't! i just, it was just, h-he, i couldn't talk to him" angel finished, the tears falling once more.
angel looked up at david, who was looking pretty furious by now. "he did what!? what the actual fuck!" he began, before angel cut him off, remembering the other thing he did. "o-oh, and, p-promise me you won't g-get too m-mad?" angel mumbled. "of course angel, what is it?"
"he walked b-by me, and h-he, s-slapped my a-ass, and everyone else j-just laughed at him! they didn't t-try to help me" angel cried, hiding their face in david's neck. "he did what?, he fucking sexually assaulted you and your fucking asshole co-workers didn't say or do anything?!" david spoke, trying to keep his cool but understandably failing. someone made his angel feel uncomfortable all day long, and no-one did anything to help. angel simply shook their head, sobs leaving their lips.
"he better hope he doesn't have the same hours as you, or he's going to be dust before too long" david exclaimed. "how dare he think it's ok to touch you! to make you feel uncomfortable, to say all of those disgusting things to you?hey, angel? look at me" he spoke, angel did so. david's hands moving up and resting upon angel's cheeks. "you did nothing wrong, he is just a fucking asshole, i honestly don't think there's a strong enough word to explain someone like that. but, my angel, you're safe now, you're with me. and when i'm done with whoever this dickhead is tomorrow morning when i take you to work, he's going to wish he never applied for this job" david spoke, before pulling angel in and connecting his lips to theirs. the pair stayed like that for a few moments.
"c-can you hold me? p-properly?" angel asked, david simply smiled, nodded, and pulled them gently with him up to the headboard, lying down on his pillows, angel resting their head on his chest, his heartbeat acting as white noise. their eyelids growing heavy, as david's voice, and presence calmed them immensely. "im sorry this happened to you, angel, you don't deserve any of that, anything that asshole said to you is lies, you're the most beautiful human being on this planet, and you deserve the world" david spoke, kissing the top of angel's head, before falling asleep himself.
