anon request! in which you lock yourself in the bathroom due to your depression and colby helps you
finally some angst?! what yall been begging for! i hope this meets your expectations 😭
you sat on the floor against the bathtub, knees drawn up to your chest, arms wrapped tightly around them.
you've been having depression off and on but lately, it's been getting worse. it's like a dark cloud's following you everywhere and today, it reached a breaking point. you felt like you were drowning, and the only thing you could think to do was shut out the world and lock yourself away.
the bathroom was pretty quiet. only thing you could hear was your occasional sniffle and the muffled traffic form a distance. but eventually, colby's voice broke the silence
"y/n? baby are you in there?"
you didn't respond, hoping he would just go away or leave you alone but he did quite literally the opposite. you heard him wiggle the door handle, gently at first but got more violent when he realized it was locked
"y/n please open the door you're scaring me"
his voice was full of genuine concern, making your heart break even more and more tears fall down your face. you wanted to open the door but the weight of your despair was too much. you felt paralyzed, unable to move, unable to speak.
"sweetheart please. i just wanna help, talk to me please, just let me in"
you could hear the desperation in his voice. it was almost enough to twist the lock but you bury your face in your knees again, sobbing quietly
minutes pass and you thought he gave up.. until you hear a soft thud at the door, which was his forehead leaning against it
"i love you y/n. so so much." he mumbles "i can't stand seeing you like this, please let me help you, let me be there for you"
with a shakey breath, you unlocked the door and colby slowly opened it
he kneels down to your level and kisses you on the forehead "come here"
colby pulled you into his arms, holding you tightly, as if he was afraid you'd slip away. you clung to him, burying your face in his chest
"it's okay" colby murmured, his hand stroking your hair "i'm right here"
you sat there in the hug for a few minutes, he didn't say anything he just let you cry
after what felt like an eternity your sobs haven't really calmed down yet, at this point you're crying so hard that you're hiccuping
colby pulls away, grabbing under your arms then setting you in his lap sideways "look at me baby" he says gently. you can't see well from the tears but manage to find his piercing blue eyes
"deep breaths okay? just like we practiced" he explains, you just nod
"in... and out"
"in......and out"
"in....... and out"
after a few breaths, your head drops into colby's chest again. you feel around his chest and find his necklaces to fidget with, feeling around every detail.
and finally, your sobs begin to subtle but leaving you feeling completely drained. colby pulls back again, cupping your face in his hands and wiping away your tears with his thumbs "it's okay." he murmured "you're not alone, we'll get through this together"
you nodded, unable to find words to express. colby smiles softly, his eyes shining with tears "come on, let's get you out of here"
colby helped you on your feet, keeping an arm around your waist as he guided you out of the bathroom, into the bedroom. you felt a sense of relief as you laid back in the bed
colby laid down beside you "did you want to talk about it" he asks softly "or just sit here? whatever you need"
you take a deep breath, gathering your thoughts "i don't even know where to start" you admitted "i just feel so.. i don't know lost?"
colby pulled you on top of him so now you're laying on his bare chest again
"it's okay baby. you don't have to have all the answers right now. just know that i'm here for you." he kisses the top of your head then starts stroking your hair, "always." you lift your hand and start tracing his heart tattoo "promise?" you look up and pout "i promise." he replies
overtime, the heart you were tracing on his chest turned into sloppy shapes. colby watches you slowly fall asleep on top of him as your body got heavier.
he pulls the comforter over you and gives your head one last kiss. "i love you sweetheart, more than anything" he whispers to you.
he continues to whisper sweet nothings until he eventually falls asleep underneath you.
