You were in the kitchen, carefully measuring out the ingredients for cream puffs for Mash. Lost in the rhythm of mixing and measuring, you didn't even notice when Lance walked into the kitchen. He stood there quietly for a few minutes, just watching you as you worked. But when you finally turned to grab a bowl, his arms wrapped around your waist, pulling you close. You jolted in surprise, but then a small smile spread across your face as you recognized Lance's comforting embrace. He rested his chin on your shoulder, watching you continue to make the cream puffs.
''You know...you should be resting'' Lance said softly, his breath tickling your ear.
''I'm pretty sure I heard the doctor say you need rest'' You chuckled, leaning back into his embrace.
''Mash wants cream puffs, so I'm making them. I don't want to lie in bed all day'' You said. Lance let out a sigh, gently rocking you side to side.
''Y/n...your body is still recovering...let me take over''
He unwrapped his arms and pushed you gently to the side, a small pout forming on your lips. You knew Lance was right, you needed to rest and recover, but you also wanted to make them for Mash.
''You can say no to Mash at times too, you know'' Lance said with a flick to your forehead.
''He's not a kid, and you need time for yourself''
You sighed, giving in and sitting on the counter as Lance took over making the cream puffs. As he worked, he scolded you gently for always putting others before yourself.
''I guess you're right'' You finally admitted.
''You need to learn to stop doing everything for everyone'' Lance said, turning to face you. He cupped your cheeks in his hands, gazing into your eyes.
''You need rest just as much as everyone else. You're strong, but even the strongest people need to take a break sometimes''
You couldn't help but smile at Lance's words, feeling grateful for his wisdom and support. You promised him that you would take better care of yourself and not overexert yourself for others.
''I'm still here if you need me to help or anything'' Lance said, pulling you into a warm hug.
''And I promise, I won't take advantage of you'' He let out a soft chuckle, earning one from you too now
''But you know princess...there are people like that out there...with everything that has happened to you, you must understand where I am coming from. People can easily hurt others when they want to...'' Lance's voice trailed off as he tightened his grip around you, his words hit you
...
''So that's why, for your sake, you need to stop putting yourself forward and just step back, learn to put yourself first because that is always going to be important, no matter what. You're my girlfriend, but I want you to put your well being before mine'' He added
''I'm sorry if this feels like a boring lecture...but it's my responsibility to make my silly girlfriend aware of these things because she just loves to help everyone and never thinks about herself'' Lance sighed, hitting your head gently now
