Reader Pronouns: She/They

Opening the front door, Y/N slumped into the home they shared with their boyfriend, Charlie. It had been a rough day at work, not only from working hard to the point of exhaustion, but then finding out they could possibly be let go was the worst of it.

Kicking their shoes off they headed into the living room, flopping down on the couch and grabbing the remote. She figured watching something could help take her mind off of everything, yet that plan was sadly interrupted as Charlie skipped his way downstairs, smiling brightly at the sight of his lover sitting there.

"Welcome home, honey!" He said joyfully, walking over and sitting down, wrapping his arm around them and placing a gentle kiss on their cheek. "How was your day?"

Y/N couldn't even get a word out before tears began to weld in her eyes, immediate she dropped the remote and let out a shakey sigh. "Stressful- stressful all day, Charlie.." She said sadly, looking up at her boyfriend with glossy eyes. "And to make it all worse, they threatened to fire me."

Immediately, Charlie's smile dropped. Not only was it shocking news to hear in the first place, but seeing how shaken up Y/N was- it broke his heart. He pulled them into a hug, gently resting his head against theirs. "What?! But you work so hard! How could they do such a thing?!"

Giving a small shrug, Y/N just leaned into the hug, not bothering to move their arms to wrap them around him. "I don't know.. it's just- it's not fucking fair, Charlie.." They whispered softly into his chest, tears soaking into the fabric of his shirt. "I don't know what to do-"

Without another word, Charlie snatched the remote and pulled away from Y/N, looking her dead in the eyes with a small huff. "For the rest of the day- it's not our problem, alright? Not yours, not mine. It's irrelevant." He said softly, before smiling. "How about you go and take a nice relaxing shower, alright? When you're done, come back down here. I bet I'll know a way to turn that frown upside down!"

A small sniffle escaped Y/N as they looked at Charlie, wiping her eyes with her hands. "Charlie, you don't have to do anything.. I can gladly just-" She began to explain, only to be cut off almost immediately.

"Ah ah ah, it'll be my pleasure." Charlie said with a smile. "Now go on, wash all of today's stress off and change clothes. I promise you by the end of the night, you'll forget all about today!"

Though she was hesitant, Y/N soon gave a small sigh. "Fine, fine. I'll shower- but don't plan anything crazy, alright?" She said with a small smile, standing up from the couch and heading towards the stairs.

Charlie laughed softly as he gave her a small wink. "No promises! Now go on and relax!" He called out, waving her off.

Despite being completely exhausted from the day, Y/N pushed through and headed into her room, gathering some new clothes before heading into the bathroom, turning the shower on.

As soon as Charlie heard the shower running, he got to work. He hopped off of the couch and rush into the kitchen, grabbing a few things here and there.

First was the blender. He hummed softly as he walked into the pantry where they stored snacks, drinks, and kitchen appliances, and grabbed the blender from the bottom shelf. It was a bit dusty from not being used in so long but its nothing a quick wash couldn't fix.

Once he washed and dried the glass of the blender, he then began to gather some ingredients. Ice cream was definelty first on the list, so quickly he grabbed the container from the fridge. Luckily it was Y/N's favorite flavor, only the best for this situation.

Setting the container on the counter, he then grabbed a few more goodies that mixed well with the flavor of the ice cream, as well as some milk and whipped cream. Finally he retrieved a scoop from a drawer, getting a couple of blobs of ice cream, tossing them into the blender, as well as some of the other goodies and a bit of milk.

He hummed as he placed the lid on the blender, making sure he still heard the water running upstairs before turning the blender on, watching as all of the ingredients inside began to turn into a container of cold, liquidy goodness.

When the mixture was nice and blended, Charlie shut the blender off, grabbing two glasses and pouring an even amount of the smoothie into both. Once both were full, he topped both off with a swirl of whipped cream at the top. Sadly they didn't have any cherries available to seal the whole 'milkshake aesthetic', but it would have to do.

After placing straws in both drinks, Charlie grabbed both cups and made his way into the living room, setting the shakes on the coffee table with a smile. He sat on the couch, grabbing the remote and deciding to open up Netflix, wanting to find a nice movie the both could relax and watch together.

As he scrolled, though, he heard the shower switch off, which caused him to perk up. It took a few minutes, but finally the bathroom door opened, allowing Y/N to step out and slowly make their way downstairs.

They paused for a moment as they sat the sight of Charlie sitting there, staring at them with a big smile. Charlie eventually broke the silence by opening his arms, signaling his lover to make their way to him. "Well, what are you waiting for? You know I don't bite."

Still Y/N hesitated, though the day had been rough this definetly wasn't what she was expecting to see. Finally she gave in though, making her way toward Charlie and carefully sitting in his lap, allowing him to wrap his arms around her. "You didn't have to do any of this, Charlie.." She muttered softly, cuddling close to their boyfriend as much as they could.

"Of course I did. Like I said, it's my pleasure." He hummed softly, leaning forward and grabbing the milkshake he had grabbed for his love, gently placing it in their lap. "This is also for you. I figured you'd like something to sip on while we watch a movie."

Though she hated how much trouble Charlie was going through to set all of this up- it sure did put a smile on her face. She rested her head against Charlie's shoulder as she quietly sipped the milkshake. "Well, then, if you don't mind, you pick the movie." She said softly. "At least pick something for yourself. You deserve it too, y'know."

Charlie just smiled and placed a small kiss on her cheek, before leaning back and finally selecting some random rom-com looking movie. Of course it was obscure, neither of the lovers had ever even heard of it.

But instead of complaining, the two just leaned back and watched this random piece of media. It was honestly not too bad, but it was obvious that the two spending time together was where the real enjoyment blossomed.

As Y/N sipped and soon finished their milkshake throughout 30 minutes of the movie, it didn't take long before they simply cuddled up to Charlie, trying to enjoy the movie while also trying to stay awake, all at the same time.

The sweet release of sleep soon won, though, and as Y/N slept in his arms, Charlie remained completely still, just glad that his attempt worked well.

And for as long as he was with them, he'd make sure that whenever they were down, he'd be there to cheer them up.
