Reneé Rapp x Fem Reader One shots

Burden

The sunlight streamed through the window, casting warm patterns on the living room floor where Y/N sat curled up on the couch, a blanket draped over her legs. The world outside buzzed with life, but inside, she felt trapped in a cocoon of anxiety and uncertainty. Her mind raced, a whirlwind of thoughts that made it hard to breathe.

Renee Rapp, her girlfriend, was out for a rehearsal, and while Y/N loved watching her shine on stage, being alone often amplified her feelings of inadequacy and sadness. She traced her fingers over the fabric of the blanket, trying to find comfort in its softness.

When Renee finally came home, the front door swung open with a burst of energy. "Hey! I brought dinner!" she exclaimed, her voice lighting up the room. The aroma of something delicious wafted in, and Y/N felt a flicker of warmth, but it was quickly overshadowed by her overwhelming thoughts.

"Thanks," Y/N replied, her voice quiet and subdued.

Renee set the takeout on the coffee table and turned to Y/N, concern flashing in her eyes. "You okay?" she asked gently, sensing the tension in the air.

"Just tired," Y/N said, avoiding eye contact. She didn't want to burden Renee with her feelings, not when she was always so full of life.

Renee sat down beside her, the couch sinking slightly under their weight. "You've been tired for a while now," she noted, her tone a mix of concern and love. "Is something bothering you?"

Y/N felt a lump in her throat. "I don't know, Renny. I just feel... off," she admitted, finally letting the words escape. "Like I'm stuck in a fog and can't find my way out."

Renee's expression softened as she reached for Y/N's hand. "You don't have to go through this alone. I'm here for you, no matter what. You can talk to me about anything."

"I don't want to drag you down," Y/N murmured, tears welling in her eyes. "You have your own life, your music, your dreams. I don't want to be the reason you feel weighed down."

"Y/N, listen to me," Renee said firmly but gently. "You could never be a burden to me. You're my partner, and I want to support you. I want to help you find your way through this."

Y/N's defenses began to crumble as she felt the warmth of Renee's hand in hers. "I guess I just feel so lost sometimes," she confessed. "It's hard to see a way forward."

Renee squeezed her hand tighter. "Let's take it one step at a time. We can make a plan together. What do you think?"

Y/N took a deep breath, feeling the tightness in her chest ease slightly. "I'd like that. But where do we start?"

"First, let's focus on small things," Renee suggested. "How about we set aside some time each day to do something together? Just us, no distractions. And maybe we can find ways to get outside more? Fresh air can help clear your mind."

Y/N nodded slowly, feeling a sense of relief wash over her. "That sounds doable. I think I'd like that."

They spent the evening nestled on the couch, laughter and warmth filling the room as they watched silly comedies and indulged in ice cream. Each moment helped Y/N feel a little more grounded, a little less lost.

As the credits rolled on the last film, Renee turned to Y/N, her expression serious but loving. "So, how do you feel now?"

"I feel a little better," Y/N admitted, a genuine smile spreading across her face. "Thank you for being here."

"Always," Renee replied, her eyes sparkling with affection. "And remember, it's okay to have tough days. Just don't hesitate to reach out. I'll always be here to listen."
