Gabriel was in his office, working as always. Making calls, filling out documents, writing reports, and all other responsibilities that came with being Commander. He struggled to focus due to working through the night before, without sleep.  He felt awful, leaving you to sleep alone...again. You had come by the night before to try and convince him to come to bed but he needed to get the work done. He halted his efforts as the memory from the night before played through his mind.

-------------------------

You knocked on the door, a frown on your face. You missed him, he's been so busy lately to the point you two haven't been able to spend any time together, let alone for him to take care of himself.

Surely he missed you too, right?

"Commander, it's Y/n."

"Come in-" you heard his disembodied, flat voice from the other side of his office door.

You slowly opened the door and entered the room, carefully closing it behind you. You turned to Gabe, your eyes meeting his own. He looked you up and down before going back to the papers and screens in front of him, continuing to work on whatever was occupying him.

"What is it Y/n?" He said through clenched teeth.

You took a deep breath before you spoke."I'm worried about yo-"

"I'm fine, leave me to work, please." He snapped, interrupting you.

He was frustrated with the amount of work Jack had given him. He had folders upon folders to read, edit, and sign. He felt like he hadn't even had time to breathe. The overwhelming amount of stress he had to deal with was building up, leaving him hunched in his office chair for hours on end.

You blinked. "What?"

"I said lea-"

You cut him off this time.

"No, I know what you said, and that's the problem." You said sternly, staring him down.

He felt your eyes on him, he looked up. Piercing his gaze into yours, you faltered under his gaze but nonetheless, you stood your ground.

"What is up with you lately?" Your voice taking a more concerned tone as you kept eye contact.

"You've been so distant- you barely talk to me anymore, you left me alone a couple nights ago and a few times before that," You began listing off the amount of neglect he's shown you recently.

"To which I still have no explanation for. Gabe, you're not even taking care of yourself  at this point!" Your hands gestured to his disheveled appearance, emphasizing your point.

"I've been bringing you meals to your office because you don't even come out to eat!"

"Y/n!" He snapped again, shocking you for a moment.

"Leave me to work."

You stood silent for a moment, staring at him.

"You're serious right now?" you raised an eyebrow.

He nodded as he stood up, pointing to the door. "Go."

"No." You walked closer to his desk, leaning over it with your hands on the dull edge.

"Is that really all you have to say? You need to sleep tonight, at least..I'm just-"

"Y/n, I said to leave, that is an order!"
