Clays pov:

i hadn't seen him all day, i mean he said he would be working today but i didn't think he meant the whole day. This morning, at 9am, was when he stared working and it was now dark out, i took a glance at my phone screen and saw it was about to turn 11pm. i knew George had a tendency of overworking himself but this was a new extreme he hasn't come out of his room all day which means he hasn't ate or drank anything all day and George wasn't the type of person to just push aside talking care of himself, something else was going on that i didn't know about. although i knew it could make things worse i decided to go and check on him, its my responsibility as his boyfriend after all.

i was preparing what to say in my head as i walked up the stairs and down the small corridor, wooden panels creaking beneath my feet as i went. the sound of voices became clearer the closer i got to his door, probably off of a video he was editing, i opened the door after getting permission to enter and saw him slouched over his desk in the corner of his dark stuffy room. his bed was unmade and his blinds were closed and he was wearing the same sweatpants and shirt that he fell asleep in last night.

"hey" i said almost timidly.

"hi" his voice was a little croaky as he hadn't spoke for a while.

"what are you doing?" i came up behind him and started to massage his tense shoulders, he leaned back into the touch as a long breath escaped his mouth.

"work" he replied bluntly.

"yea i know that hun, i mean what are you doing that's taking you this long to do? you stuck on something?" i leaned down to plant a gentle kiss on his neck.

"no i'm just..." he trailed off, "i don't know...i guess i just have a lot to do"

"is it really that important?"

"clay, i need to do this"

"you need a break, George"

"no" he practically whispered, "i wont be long i swear"

at this point i wasn't really sure what to do. i couldn't let him work any longer he was clearly stressing out, but at the same time he is a hard person to persuade and its not like i could physically drag him away from the screen.

"hey" i said into his unkempt hair.

"mhm" he seemed tired

"get up" he groaned and put his head in his hands, "come on" i swivelled his chair around so he was facing me.

"no clay i've got so much to doooo" he whined.

"its okay, ill help you with it tomorrow but for now i just want you to get up and put a hoodie on" he stared at me confused at the last part of the sentence but decided to comply anyway, picking up a black jumper off of the end of the bed and slipping it on over his head. once he was somewhat dressed i took his hand in mine and guided him out of his room and downstairs where i told him to put his shoes on.

"what? where are we going its almost midnight?"

"a late night drive, and i wanna get some snacks from the store so you can come with me, you need a break from being inside all day" he didn't seem to mind the idea and started wedging his feet into his shoes. i quickly grabbed my wallet and the car keys before putting my own shoes on and following George out the door.

As soon as we got into the car George reached over to turn the heat all the way up and put his hands between his legs trying to get some warmth. i gave the shivering boy my phone, as it was already connected to the bluetooth, so that he could put some music on. after a couple minutes of him searching through playlists, mac demarco began playing through the speakers setting the mood for the short drive. i gave him my warm hand to hold after he complained that he was still cold and he played with the dainty gold ring on my finger until we were parked up outside the small convenient store.

we entered the store still linking hands, a small brunette woman greeted us as we walked past the tills. the isles of the shop were all completely empty the only noise was an old 80s song playing quietly in the background, i never really enjoyed 80s music but george loved it, he listens to it all the time, so much it gets very annoying very fast. suddenly, i got snapped out of my train of thought by George dragging me over to the slush machine at the far back wall of the store.

"dream can you get me one pleaseee"

"yeah of course, what flavour do you want?" he picked blue raspberry and filled up a medium cup.

"we should get some food baby, you haven't eaten all day" he nodded.

"do you think they have sushi? I've been craving sushi so bad recently" we walked up and down every isle of the store until we eventually found a shelf full of sandwiches, right beneath that shelf was a shelf full of sushi. they had salmon, cucumber, avocado and tuna, he grabbed a box of salmon and another small box of cucumber ones before asking me what i wanted. i wasn't feeling too hungry so i only grabbed a bottle of diet coke and a small packet of chilli heatwave Doritos.

"you want anything else ?" he turned around to look at me after grabbing a small snack box of green grapes and i gave him a quick surprise peck, my lips slightly missing his.

"that was a shit kiss" he whispered against my lips.

"i know i'm sorry i didn't really plan it out" i replied in the same volume. a quiet giggle escaped his lips and then he leaned in to give me a proper kiss, it was still short as he didn't like pda very much but i felt the sparks just as strong.

"so? is there anything else baby?" he thought for awhile before shaking his head no. with our food in our hands we walked over to the till where the brunette woman still stood, she looked young probably around our age and she had dark circles under her hazel eyes that were made almost unnoticeable with thick mascara coated lashes and and gold shimmer eye shadow. her hair was long and sprawled out over her shoulders the top half of her hair up in a hair tie to keep it out of her face. Next to me George was placing the items down on the counter and she started to scan them one by one.

"you two having a late night picnic?" she asked in a sweet voice.

"yea something like that"

"hmm..very romantic" i couldn't tell if she knew that were together or if she was just joking but before i could reply she asked, "do you need a bag?"

i politely declined her offer and we paid and left, the cold night air blowing through my hair on the short walk to the car. i started the drive home with George sipping on his slush and opening his grapes, putting one in my mouth every couple of minutes.

once we were back in the warmth of the house, we were greeted by a little ball of fluff winding around our ankles as we tried to take our shoes off. patches made her way into the living room to the right of us and we followed her through the door setting the snacks onto the wooden coffee table. digging around the drawer next to the sofa, i found a lighter and lit a cinnamon scented candle then i sat down on the long couch spreading my legs over to the other side of it and resting my feet on the arm rest, George soon joined me and laid on his front on top of me his arms reaching around my torso.

"what do you wanna watch?" his brown locks tickled against my neck.

"i don't care i'm tired... you choose" after a couple minutes of scrolling Netflix i put on stranger things (season three obviously) and relaxed into Georges warmth. i knew we would both end up falling asleep here so i made a mental note to put the food in the fridge before that happens.

my fingers ran through the boys soft hair, twirling around strands and brushing it away form his drowsy eyes. a purring cat curled up by our feet, the tv playing quiet in the background, the light from the candle filling the room. peaceful was the only way to describe it, it was a peaceful night.
