Light my Love
You took in a deep breath, as your eyes fluttered shut. The warmth of Mike's body next to yours, slowly lulling you to sleep. When you had last looked out the window, the sun had long since disappeared behind the horizon, Abby was already in bed and you had Mike all to yourself, finally able to spend some quality time with your boyfriend.
He had been on job interviews a lot lately, so the two of you didn't have that much time to see each other, but today both of you managed to finally spend an evening together again.
"Mike?", You asked quietly, after the two of you had just been laying in comfortable silence for a while.
He only hummed in response, slightly lifting his head from your chest, where he had been resting.
"What's on your Mind, Love?", You mumbled, brushing a hand through his hair,"I can practically see your thoughts racing."
A nervous chuckle escaped his lips, as Mike slowly set up in front of you. You gave him a reassuring smile, propping yourself up on your elbows, your gaze lingering on Mike.
"It's alright, Mike. Whatever it is, I'll be on your side, right here.", You added, as you saw that Mike was struggling to put his thoughts into words. You gently grabbed his hand, giving it a light squeeze, before you pulled him up to your lips, pressing a few soft kisses to his wrist. Mike seemed to relax against your touch. You saw that he closed his eyes for a second, taking in a deep breath, before finally looking back at you.
"I...I ehm..", he started hesitantly. You saw that he was still struggling, so you gave his hand one more light squeeze. That seemed to do the trick.
"You know how I had a lot of job interviews lately...?", He began, his other hand rising to nervously rub his neck, but you just gave him a nod, encouraging him to continue.
"So uh...I haven't been able to find a new Job since the whole Pizzeria thing...and I'm just really struggling to pay our bills, that's why I was a bit absent today. Sorry."
"Oh Mike.", You sighed softly. You slowly raised your hand to cup his cheek,"You could've said something. I can help you with your bills."
"I just...didn't want to be a burden to you.", Mike confessed, his hand now gripping your wrist,"You shouldn't have to do this."
"Mike my Love.", You said firmly, now also sitting up. You turned his head, until he was looking directly at your face,"You could never be a Burden to me. Do you hear me? Never. I love you and I'll always do my best to support you. You know I got a raise a few weeks ago. It won't be a problem to take over some of your bills."
Mike could only stare at you for a second, debating what to say. You knew that he hated it to ask for your help. He had grown up to be the one to always take care of everything, to be the one to give safety and comfort to his loved one's, so it was hard for him to ask for something, especially if it was Money.
You kissed his forehead with a small sigh:"I won't take no for an answer."
"Thank you", Mike whispered promptly.
A small yelp escaped your lips, as he pulled you against his body, his arms wrapping around you tightly. With a soft smile, you hugged him back just as tightly, as you heard him sniffle quietly.
"I love you so much. Thank you.", Mike mumbled against your shoulder. His hot breath against your skin made a shiver run down your spine.
"Of course, Darling.", You answered, as the two of you parted,"Please, never be afraid to ask for help."
Mike only nodded again, looking down at your still intertwined hands. After a few seconds of Silence, You laid back down on the bed pulling him with You. The two of You returned to your previous position with Mike resting his head on your chest, right over your heartbeat. It had made you chuckle, when he told you that listening to your heartbeat helped him fall asleep, for the first time. By now, it had become a tiny ritual that the two of you always did, when you came over.
"Sleep, my love.", You mumbled into his ear, pulling the blanket over the both of you,"You need it."
"I love you", Mike mumbled into your chest, as he tightened his grip around your hips, squeezing the soft skin like you were a stuffed animal, that he couldn't sleep without.
"I love you too, Darling", You whispered, but you soon realized that he had already fallen asleep. With a small smile on your lips, you closed your eyes, soon following into sweet sweet dreamland.
