You get up from your bed quietly, trying not to wake up (s/o/n) so you can go get something to drink. As you go downstairs you yawn tiredly as this is your usual routine. You've been up for the past 2 or so days. Honestly you don't know how long you've been up seeing as you've been busy with work. You don't know what to do. This has been a pattern that you've know most of your life. You are a hard worker in everything you do. You're on the brink of a breakdown, everything seems like it's crashing down. You know that (s/o/n) is worried, wanting you to sleep but you have to much to worry about. You've been overworked by both you and your boss. Your boss doesn't necessarily like you but you're a devout worker so he keeps you around. But even though your boss keeps you around, he gives you most of the work and expects it to be done on time or he takes from your salary.


As you make your coffee, preparing to get back to your paper work, you don't notice (s/o/n) coming  downstairs, as you were lost in thought. "(y/n), you really need to sleep." he says

"No, I have to get my work done" you say "if I ever want to get that promotion and get better job opportunities then I have to suck it up to the boss."

"Look, you need to sleep, do you know what you did yesterday for 20 minutes strait?" he says.

"No?-" You start to say.

"You were talking to the bed (y/n), you were having a full blown discussion with our bed on why all the Avatar: The Last Airbender movies should be gathered up and be burned in a fire that goes strait to hell. You even tried to make a diagram of how to do it!" he said

"Ok...maybe, just maybe I was a little out of it..." you say.

"(y/n), if you don't put that coffee down and come to bed I will personally tell your boss that I'm not happy with all the work he's giving you and will tell him your quitting." he threatens.

"You wouldn't do that, you'd-" you start to say.

"No (y/n), I would. You've gotten physically weaker and you've overworked yourself to becoming sick. You hardly ever eat that much anymore, and when you do you can barely keep it down." he says. "You don't need this job, all it's put you through is pain and sickness. I can take care of you, you need a vacation to relax and sleep, please (y/n)....quite your job."

You start to tear up from being tired, stressed and overworked. (s/o/n) walks over and gives you a hug. That's when you start to bawl, you've tried so hard to do this job but it has pushed you past your breaking point. "I don't know how to say I quite to him" you say as you keep crying heavily.

"It's ok (y/n), I'll come with you so we can get your stuff and leave." he says while swaying you both back and forth, trying to calm you down. "Let's get you to bed." he whispers.

When you reach your room you both lay down and he pulls you closer to him, laying close to you so you can cuddle. You almost immediately fall asleep but before you're totally knocked out you hear (s/o/n) whisper "I love you."
