Eddie's pov:
I was in the middle of a recording with Mully before I heard my office door open. I look over to the door and see Gaege with tears falling down his cheeks.
"Hang on, I'll be right back." I say as I mute my mic
"Baby, what's wrong?" I ask as I open my arms wide enough so that he can sit in my lap
"S-sorry for interrupting your recording." He frowns as he gets in my lap
"It's okay, what happened?" I rub circles on his back
"I-i've been thinking a lot recently and- and I've been worrying about us and I just-" tears start to fall as his words slur together, not making any sense
He gets off my lap, letting me stand up. I pull him into a hug but he doesn't wrap his arms around me. I frown as I hold his hands. I look down at his wrists and see a small spec of blood. My eyes start to water as I think about what he could have done.
"I-its not what you think!" He pulls his hands out of mine and brings his wrist closer to my face
"I-i was pinching myself and I guess I squeezed too hard."
"Oh, baby." I kiss the markings on his wrist
"Next time you feel like this tell me."
"I-i try but it's really hard." He frowns
"Do you want to talk about it now?"
He just shakes his head no.
"Your busy with Mully right now. Get your work done first then we can talk."
"But I can-" he cuts me off
"I want to shower and get dressed in more comfortable clothes before we have a smi-serious talk." He smiles before giving me a quick kiss
"O-okay." I blush as I watch him walk out the door
"Soooo, what was that about?" Mully asks as I take a seat back at my desk
"Um, it's kinda private but everythings fine." I sigh as I start to think about what Gaege was worried about
"Oh, well..should we finish the recording later then?" Mully tilts his head
"No, it's fine. We can continue."
Gaege pov:
After my shower I get dressed in a pair of pretty short pajama bottoms and one of Eddie's shirt. I take his cologne and spray a little on the shirt just so it smells more like him. I look at myself in the mirror and frown. I pinch my slightly chubby cheeks and groan in disgust. Before I'm able to point out any of my other flaws the bathroom door opens. I watch in the mirror as Eddie walks closer to me, wrapping his arms around my waist and resting his chin on the top of my head.
"Hi.." my voice is quiet
"Hi baby." Eddies voice sounds tired
"You look cute." He kisses the top of my head
"Do I?" I frown as I continue to look at myself in the mirror
"Of course you do." He smiles
"Hmm." I squint my eyes, hopeing to see any difference in my appearance
"Do you not think so?" He looks down at me
"Not really."
"Gaege.." he frowns
"STOPPP." I turn around and cup his face with my hands
"Don't look at me like that."
"Then stop talking bad about yourself." He continues to frown
"I can't help it." I try my best to cover his eyes with my hands
"Then I guess I'm forced to look at you like this forever."
