Marjoreece One-Shots 🖤🎀

Stressed

It had been a long day at work for Marjorie, she had parents shouting at her left, right and centre and on top of all that, the stress of the merge and the possibility of her losing her job was really getting to her. All Marjorie wanted to do was go home and sleep.

6pm finally rolled around and Reece walked into the office, ready to take Marjorie home. The second Reece walked into the office, he could sense that something was up. "Hey gorgeous, what's up you seem stressed?" Reece questioned. "Oh, don't worry it's nothing." Marjorie replied. "Are you sure, you do know you can talk to me, right? Reece asked, not wanting to pry. "Yes, I'm fine honestly, can we just go home." Marjorie replied, hoping Reece would just leave it. "Ok, if you are sure." Reece said, not sounding convinced.

As soon as they got into the house, Marjorie ran upstairs to get changed. Reece went and sat on the sofa, waiting for Marjorie to come downstairs. Eventually, Marjorie walked downstairs, wearing one of Reece's hoodies. Reece knew that Marjorie only did that when something was upsetting her, but he didn't want to nag her so he left it, knowing that she would talk when she was ready.

Marjorie cuddled up next to Reece on the sofa, laying her head on his chest, taking in his scent which comforted her. Everything that had happened that day was replaying in her head, the fear that she could lose her job because of Janice, the parents outright screaming at her for no reason, everything that had happened that day. Marjorie felt her eyes welling with tears, she couldn't cry in front of Reece.

"Darling, I'm just going to go for a shower, I will be back in a minute." Marjorie spoke, she knew she had to get out of there, she didn't want to burden Reece with her problems. Marjorie quickly ran out of the room,heading for the bathroom. She turned the shower on before sitting on the floor next to the door and letting the tears flow. Marjorie wrapped her arms around herself and sobbed, she just hoped the sound of the shower would drown out her sobs.

40 minutes had passed, Reece was beginning to get a little worried as Marjorie still hadn't come back from the shower. He decided to go and check on her, to put his mind at ease. As Reece reached the bathroom door, he heard the sound he hated the most, he heard Marjorie sobbing. Gently, Reece knocked on the bathroom door, trying not to scare Marjorie. "Marjorie, can you please come out, even if you don't want to talk, please come out so I know you are safe." Reece said, in a calm tone, hoping it would calm Marjorie down slightly. A few moments later, Reece heard the shower turn off and the bathroom lock click.

Marjorie hesitantly opened the bathroom door, revealing a concerned looking Reece. Marjorie instantly threw her arms around him. Reece lead her to the sofa, sitting her down, before saying "Marjorie, you don't have to talk right now if you don't want to, but just know that whenever you are ready, I'm here to listen to you." "Well, if you don't mind, can I please talk to you." Marjorie said, quietly. "Of course you can, tell me whatever you feel comfortable with, and stop whenever you don't feel comfortable." Reece replied.

Marjorie proceeded to explain pretty much everything, including how scared she was about losing her job. Reece held her tight and listened to it all, his heart breaking for her after hearing about how stressed she has been recently. By the end of the conversation, Marjorie was starting to fall asleep on Reece's chest. As her eyes began to close, Reece whispered something in her ear.

"I love you so much, Marjorie Knight.
