We could stay, alone together
T/w- Sad music??
summary- Reader is listening to sad music with a mixed expression, so of course their sweethearts had to interfere! Why would they allow their loved one to beat themself down for some reason? (tumblr request)
Characters- Fremient, Lyney, Alhaitham
You sat curled up in bed with music blasting through your earbuds, you just wanted to drown out the thoughts. Somehow they still kept coming, forcing you to shrink deeper into the bed. There was a sadness that kept creeping up and you couldn't make it leave no matter how hard you tried. The only thing you hadn't done was talk to your partner. But you didn't want to burden them, why would you trouble them with such childish and silly stuff like this?
As the sun sank lower, darkness pooled in your room. Soon enough you could barely see 5 centimeters in front of you. Your partner hadn't gotten home yet, they'd messages about half an hour ago. You didn't even bother to tap on the notification, just quickly looking as your phone flashed. When you didn't respond he was a bit worried, but brushing it off, maybe you were busy making dinner.
You long forgot dinner, you weren't reminded till you felt a hand rubbing on your back.
"Honey? What's wrong?"
Fremmie- tries to cheer you up with stuffed toys.
"Nothing is wrong, I'm just tired."
"Well... why don't we get some sleep? I'll let you cuddle that penguin stuffed toy of mine."
"Mr Quack?"
"Yeah..."
Your expression softened as he gave the idea. "You don't need to do that Fremient, I'm fine."
He could see that you were obviously lying. He just didn't want to push further and create conflict for the both of you. So he just grabbed Mr Quack and came and laid down next to you.
"Did you know that... Male penguins give female penguins rocks to court them... The females then make their nests out of them..."
"Yeah? Do they?
"Mhm."
He held you tighter, gently played with your hair as you cuddled Mr. Quack, and Freminet told you penguin facts.
Lyney- Magic Tricks
You didn't feel like talking to your partner at this point. You just grumbled at him. Lyney moved closer, placing a hand on your head.
"Darling, are you feeling unwell?"
"No, I'm fine, just tired."
He huffed at you, while he began to pull cards out of his pocket. You turned your head back to lyney to watch him prepare his magic trick. It's the one he kept especially for you. It's the one he showed you on your first date.
"Lyney-"
"Nope come on, sit up. You look sad at the moment, and as your boyfriend, it is my job to cheer you up."
Every time he performed the magic trick it always bough a smile to your face. However, he'd never told you how it works. A magician never reveals their secrets.
Alhaitham- reads his book to you
You tried to pretend like you were asleep, but he knew you better than that. With a sigh he sat down on the bed next to you, rubbing your back.
"I know damn well you're not asleep darling."
In response to this you just brought the blanket up over your face more, doing anything to hide. Alhaitham gave a slight chuckle, still running his hands along your back gently.
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know how to explain it, I just feel upset."
"And listening to sad music will help that?"
"Dunno." You grumbled back at him.
Alhaitham pulled you into his chest, gently taking out the earbuds and pausing the song. He grabbed his book off the night stand and began to read to you.
He felt cosy, like a blanket, and his voice soothing like a gentle breeze in the summer. Not even 10 minutes late, you were passed out asleep in his arms.
