W/C: ~460

You had hoped you would be better by the time Ethan had been home but that wasn't the case as you heard the apartment door close, the entire room shuddered.

Warm salty tears fell down your cheeks and you weren't 100% sure why you had felt the way you did. Why couldn't you just be happy with what you had rather than letting what you did not have bother you so much?

It was already 4:30pm and you were still in bed sobbing over something you couldn't even control. You hated the feeling and just wanted to get better and feel normal again but had no idea how to get there.

The music hummed in your ears but it seemed to somehow make things worse, so you ripped the earbuds out and threw them onto the floor in front of the bed.

The bedroom door creaked open slowly. Somehow, some way Ethan knows you're upset as he always does. Perhaps it was because you didn't meet him at the door as you normally did.

Your tears soak into the soft cotton pillowcase as you bury your face away from view trying to ensure he didn't see you.

"Hey Hun..." his voice trails off just wanting to let you know of his presence.

After a moment you feel the mattress sunk down beside you as he sat there next to you, careful to not sit on your legs. You could still hear the faint music playing from the floor and you couldn't be bothered to turn it off on your phone.

He gently puts his hand on your leg, almost as if he was scared to touch you just as he had the night you first spent together.

As a sniffle escaped you when he decided the best course of action, laying down and sliding under the bedsheets. He wrapped his arms around you from behind. His strong firm grip did bring some comfort against your shaking body. The warmth from his body against yours even through the fabric of clothing was soothing.

He hums, sweet low little shushes into your ear as his soft curls press into you, trying to soothe your cries.

He doesn't pressure you to tell him what's wrong. Instead he just held you there as you sobbed, tears flowing.

You shut your eyes tight willing and wishing the bad thoughts away.

He brushes your hair back over your neck gently trying to coax you out of the pillow. When you turn your head he holds a tissue you didn't know he had to your cheeks, dabbing ever so lightly.

"Y/n, I'll always be here for you. Always." He whispered.

"I..." You sniffle "I don't know that."

He propped himself up on his elbow looking down at you in his adorable blue collared shirt.

"I do." His voice was quiet but serious and you could feel his brown eyes looking over you. "No matter what. No matter how crappy a day, no matter what bad thoughts you have."

You wipe the back of your hand against your eyes as you cried, blinking away the blurry vision. You turned to face him, pressing your tired eyes into his soft blue shirt that soaked up the tears.

He held you close with his arms around you kissing the top of your head.

"No matter what. Nobody will be able to take me away from you," he murmurs "I won't let them."

You nod to him "forever?"

"Forever." He brushed his pale lips along the top of your head as you snuggled into him "Now, how about your favourite food? Maybe some TV and movies?"

"That sounds perfect," you were surprised at how strong your voice sounded now and you knew he was right. He would be by your side for every single bad day to come.
