Josh- End The Day

"I'll just leave then!" I cry, throwing my hands up in defeat as I stomp to the bedroom, grabbing my coat as I shrug it on. Josh follows me, standing at the doorway.

"Don't." He pleads, but I shake my head and tuck my phone into my pocket. I walk past him, heading for the door when he grabs my hand. I stop as he holds my hand, none of us say a word as we stand still.

"What are you doing?" I whisper, tears forming in my eyes as I slowly turn around.

Josh shrugs then does something unexpected. He breaks out into a sob, letting go of my hand as he slides down the wall. He tucks his knees to his chest and wraps his arms around them, building a mini cocoon.

I bite my lip as it trembles, knowing deep down I couldn't ever leave him anyway. I shrug off my coat and crouch down, slowly putting my hands on his knees.

Josh flinches, but then looks up at me through teary eyes. "Don't leave me alone." He whispers, his voice cracking as fresh tears flow.

I shake my head and open my arms. Josh immediately throws himself into my arms, burying his face into my chest as I envelope him into a tight hug. He lets out a shuddery breath and holds on to me.

"I'll never leave you, you know I couldn't ever leave you Josh. I'm sorry I said it, I was just upset." I mumble, taking a deep breath so I don't burst out crying.

Josh nods as he clings on to me, "I know I want to make you leave sometim-" he begins, but I gently push him away and cup his face, I lean close to him and rest my forehead agasint his.

"Don't blame yourself for this. Yeah we had an argument over something stupid, but it's not becuase of you. It's just a thing couples do, if we never argued then something would be wrong. I'm not easy to deal with either, but we work together and at the end of the day we get into bed and hold each other close. Right?" I say as his watery brown eyes meet mine.

He nods and exhales, "Can we end the day?" He asks.

I look at my phone to see it's late in the evening anyway, so I nod and grab Josh's hand as I lead him to bed. We quickly undress and change into our usual night wear.

As usual I lie down and Josh wraps an arm around me, his head nestles under my chin as his breath tickles my neck. In silence I press a kiss to his head as his breath evens out.

We sleep all night, tangled together in a mess. It has its moments of being uncomfortable, but works. Just like our relationship.
