Katie McCabe x Reader- Comfort in Your Arms

You unlocked the door to your apartment, shoulders heavy with the weight of a particularly rough day. As you stepped inside, the first thing you noticed was the soothing aroma of lavender—Katie's thoughtful way of welcoming you home.

"Hey," Katie's voice floated from the living room, where she sat curled up on the couch, a book abandoned on her lap. She looked up, concern etching her features as she took in your tired expression. "Rough day?"

You nodded wearily, dropping your bag by the door before trudging over to the couch. Katie moved aside the book and immediately made space for you, opening her arms invitingly. Without a word, you sank into her embrace, the warmth and comfort of her presence enveloping you like a blanket.

"I sorta had a bad day," you murmured, your voice muffled against her shoulder. "Just... cuddle up with me for a little while, please."

Katie responded wordlessly, tightening her arms around you and pressing a gentle kiss to the top of your head. She understood that sometimes words weren't necessary, that the simple act of being there was enough. You let out a sigh of relief, feeling the tension slowly melt away as you nestled closer to her.

For the next few minutes—or maybe hours, time seemed irrelevant in her arms—you forgot about deadlines, missed opportunities, and everything else that had plagued your mind earlier. The only thing that mattered was the steady rhythm of Katie's heartbeat beneath your ear and the reassuring feeling of her fingers tracing soothing patterns on your back.

"You're amazing, you know that?" Katie finally broke the comfortable silence, her voice soft and filled with genuine admiration.

You lifted your head to meet her eyes, finding nothing but sincerity in her gaze. "I wouldn't survive without you."

Her smile was like a beacon of warmth, lighting up the room and your heart. "Then I'll always be here," she promised, pressing a tender kiss to your forehead. "No matter what kind of day you've had."

With Katie by your side, you knew that even the toughest days could be weathered, because in her arms, you found solace, love, and a home that anchored you through life's storms.
