summary: when colby comes home slightly drunk, he cant help but remind you how much he loves you.
requested by anonymous.
"are you sure you cant come with us tonight?" colby asked, stepping out of the bathroom. him and sam were getting ready for a business dinner, and he'd been begging for you to come with them.
"as much as i would love to get dressed up and go to a fancy dinner with you, i have so much work i need to catch up on." you sighed. you walked over to colby standing at the bathroom counter. he was dressed in a black button up with black jeans and he was slipping his rings on his fingers. "you're so handsome." you said, looking at him in the mirror. his eyes caught your glance in the mirror, and you watched his face flush. you giggled, reaching up to press a kiss to his cheek before walking away.
he finished getting ready, and walked over to you at your desk, pulling you up from your chair.
"i hope you know that all im going to be thinking about tonight is you." he said, intertwining his hands with yours.
"good. i wouldn't want you thinking about anyone else." he laughed, closing the space between you.
"i wouldn't dare." he laughed, pressing a kiss to your lips. you followed him downstairs where he met up with sam at the bottom of the stairs.
"we shouldn't be too late." sam said as they gathered their things.
"no worries. just let me know when you're on your way home." you said to them, and they both nodded. colby moved closer to you, giving you a hug and kissing you good bye.
"i love you." he said softly.
"i love you too." you said kissing him again. "have a drink for me." you smiled. he nodded and he and sam stepped out, you waved as they made their way down the drive way and down the street.
you went back inside and started on your work, ordering yourself dinner. after a while of staring at your computer screen, you'd finally finished your work and were able to laze in bed. you'd ordered yourself dinner, and found a new show to watch and lounged in bed for the rest of the night.
colby had been keeping you updated throughout the night, on the goingson at dinner, where the night was taking him and his group. he told you that they were finished with dinner and ended up at one of the casinos that him and sam frequented. he wasn't gambling but was having a few drinks.
you could tell that he had already downed a few due to the amount of spelling errors in his texts, which made you laugh.
you let him enjoy his night and turned your attention back to your show. as it got later, you were wondering when the boys were going to return home. just as you were going to text him asking when they were going to be home, you heard the front door open, colby mumbling something as he began trudging up the stairs. you paused your show once you heard him coming down the hallway to your bedroom.
"mmmm, there she is." he said softly, stumbling over to the bed. he plopped down and crawled closer to you. he pressed a sloppy kiss to your cheek, causing you to giggle.
"colby, my love, please don't take this the wrong way, but your breath smells like hot garbage." you said, pushing his face away from you.
"no, c'mere." he laughed, moving back to your side. he nuzzled his head into your neck and wrapped his arms around your waist.
"stop!" you laughed, breathless, as his fingers began tickling your hips. you fought against him, your arms useless against his chest under his weight.
after some time of you begging him to stop, colby finally rolled off of you and stumbled to the bathroom to change. you heard him struggling to change, stumbling around the closet. you giggled as you heard him curse after the third time he bumped into the dresser.
he finally stumbled out of the closet and flopped back down in bed, crawling into your arms and resting his chin on your chest. you began running your fingers through his hair and he smiled at you.
"do you know how much i love you?" he asked. his eyes were falling close, and you could tell that he was fighting sleep.
"pretty well, yeah. but i always like to be reminded." you smiled. you felt his arms tighten around your waist as he pressed a kiss to the tip of your nose.
"you are the prettiest girl in the world. i've never met anyone like you and you are so incredibly special." he said, nuzzling your nose.
"i love you so much, sweet boy." you said, booping his nose.
"i feel so lucky that you've chosen to spend your life with me. i never want to lose you." he said softly, laying his head on your chest. you continued playing with his hair as he kept telling you how much he loved you, and how grateful he was for you.
"i know im drunk, but i hope these feelings are there all the time. i dont want you to think that this confession is alcohol induced." he laughed.
"of course i dont. you've been very clear about your feelings towards me and i know how you feel. and i feel the same. although, sometimes i cant help but feel like you settled for me, considering everything you've got going on for you." you sighed.
"never! you are the greatest thing that has happened to me. because i know that you love me for me. i know that if the status and the wealth all went away tomorrow, that you would still be by my side." he said, and you nodded. you felt a tear fall along your temple.
"i love you so much." you said softly. colby looked back up at you, a faint glimmer in his eyes.
"i love you so much." he repeated, scooting closer to your face. he pressed a soft kiss to your lips before pulling away and resting his forehead against yours. "so so much."
he scooted back down before resting his head back on your chest. you continued playing with his hair as he mumbled some more words of affirmation towards you. after a while, once he finally stopped talking, you felt his breathing slow as faint snores filled the room. you smiled to yourself, making sure that he would stay asleep before you fell asleep yourself.
colby truly was the love of your life, and he always took pride in reminding you of it,
