"Miss (Y/L/N)?"

Cormac enters the CEO's office and he's carrying a parcel with him. (Y/N) lifts her head up and stands up to take the small box from her assistant. She looks down to see who's it from and notices Jennie's handwriting. She smiles at it before looking back up.

"I'm going home. Just laminate some of the documents on my desk from this morning and you can take the night off." spoke (Y/N) with a curt nod, and Cormac grins.

(Y/N) leaves her office and bades goodbye to a few of her employees. She makes her way out of the building and hops into her car.

She sighs and blasts the ac, loosening her tie up abit for comfort. She starts the car and hears her phone ring, she looks down at the car rest where it was settled. She can't help but smile fondly at the contact name.

"Hey you,"

"Hey you," (Y/N) replied in the same tone, a grin creeping up to her lips.

"Could you come home soon? I demand a meeting with Miss (Y/L/N). We have urgent business to discuss."

"Oh?" (Y/N) hums as she drove with one hand on the steering wheel. "May I ask for further details?"

"Mm, I need her to sign a contract that states; she must come home immediately and cuddle with me."

"What's in it for me? This sounds abit unfair on my side."

"You get me. Fair trade, no?"

There's a giggle, and (Y/N) can't wait to reach home.

It's been three and a half years and some things never change. Her body still aches from sitting on an office chair all day, and she still plays the same tunes on the aux on her way home.

But the ache in her body doesn't stay that long, it soothes over almost immediately the moment she steps into her home. Her meals consist of actual food instead of a dozen cups of coffee.

And it's all thanks to her fiancé.

She reaches her driveway and parks before hopping out. She walks to her front door, the exhaustion creeping up to her.

But the door is already open and there are hands cupping her face, a tiny figure on her tip toes, planting a gentle and loving kiss on her lips.

...

"I'm leaving."

It echoes in Hermione's ears as she went through a box of things she recieved from (Y/N) when she moved to Japan. She's bitter even after begging her own self to make peace with her feelings. She can't stay like this, a dumb teenager still madly in love with her ex that won't reciprocate half of her feelings.

Reminiscing is part of moving on right? That's why she's going through all the gifts that (Y/N) sent her before they broke up.

"Huh?"

She's holding up a letter, and it's sealed shut.

My Hermione,

It's 4 am and I can't sleep anymore. Nothing seems easy without you around, and everything around me is like ten shades duller than before.

I'm dying here which sounds so exaggerated but I mean it. I see your posts on Instagram and you still seem as bright as ever.

And it's weird because it's what makes me smile, but I find bitterness at the tip of my tongue seeing you so happy while I can barely pluck up the appetite without you around.

I end up hurting you, baby.

And It's something that I would never dream of doing.

When you talk about your day to me, my smile feels forced and I know you can read right through me. You'd stop talking mid way and ask me if I have plans and want to end the call.

And although you're smiling at me, I can read right through you just as well. And It's a fucking gunshot to my stomach when I see just how sad you are because of my behavior.

Everytime you smile I can see just how much you're holding in and it's killing me more than anything.

When we'd argue, you'd always yell through the phone. But today? You were silent.

As if you gave up on me. On us.

And the thought of it killed me.

So I called it off.

I've been becoming less of the lover that you deserve, baby.

But please know that I'm trying my best to become a better version of myself, not only for me but for you, for us. Because our love is everything to me, it's my drive and everything I'm doing is for our future.

We're still sixteen, we don't have to have it all figured out. Just please hang on and don't give up on me, on us.

All I ask is for a little bit of patience as I find the answers to the hows of us.

I love you, baby.

(Y/N)

...

"You taste of coffee."

Hermione's smiling up at her with bright honey brown eyes, always engulfing (Y/N) in their sweet love, completely numbing her with love.

(Y/N) leans down to press another kiss on her lips, she earns a giggle.

And she knows that she's finally home.
