Stressed Out (Devin Booker) -Elyse-

This one's for elyse189 ! Sorry it's pretty short, but I hope you like it (:

-Elyse's POV-

I came back to my house after work super exhausted. My boss was super annoying today and I had to do so much more work than I usually do. All I wanted to do was go home and relax with my boyfriend, Devin.

I walked into the living room where Devin was. The whole living room was a mess.

"What happened here?"I asked with wide eyes.

Devin replied,"Some of my friends came over to chill and they got a bit crazy. I'm sorry."

"You couldn't clean it up?"I questioned, crossing my arms.

He stared blankly at me. "I thought you would clean it up for me,"he said slowly.

"Are you serious? I work minimum wage 10 hours a day. I know you got it easy, but that doesn't mean everyone else does too. I come home tired every day and I don't want to deal with this stuff,"I ranted.

I quickly went upstairs to my room and took a shower. I put on my pajamas and went downstairs.

Devin was still sitting on the couch. I rolled my eyes and walked into the kitchen. It was a mess in there too. "Devin, are you serious?!"I exclaimed.

Devin slowly walked into the kitchen. "I thought you could clean that up too..."he admitted quietly.

I grabbed some leftover pizza for dinner as I mumbled,"You really can't expect me to be your maid."

"I know, but-"

"Just drop the subject,"I sighed, walking out of the kitchen. I ate dinner in my room and fell asleep by myself.

I was awoken in the middle of the night when I felt Devin get into bed with me. He kissed my cheek but I just acted like I was asleep. "I'm sorry Elyse,"he whispered before rolling over to the other side of the bed. I just kept my eyes closed and eventually went back to sleep.

In the morning, I woke up when Devin was still asleep and went to work. Today was even worse than yesterday. I was almost brought to tears because of my terrible boss. I wanted to quit right then and there so badly, but I didn't.

I went home and right when I stepped through the door I broke down in frustration. I was so stressed and my mind couldn't handle anything. Tears flowed down my cheeks as I leaned against the door with my eyes closed.

I heard Devin walk over to me. "Elyse, what's wrong? Hey, don't cry. Talk to me."

I looked up at him. "My life is just one big mess. I have to do every little thing ever and it's so stressing,"I muttered, wiping my eyes.

Suck it up Elyse. You're way better than this.

Devin pulled me close to him. "I'm sorry baby. I'm sorry for everything. I wish I wasn't so ignorant. I'm honestly so sorry for being an asshole,"he apologized.

I just nodded, hugging him. "I love you Devin, but sometimes I feel like you think you're too good to do certain things. I just want a break sometimes,"I said.

He nodded. "I understand, Elyse. I promise I won't be like that anymore. I will help you out around the house and do whatever I can to make sure you're less stressed. Now, go shower and change into some comfy clothes while I get dinner ready."

I smiled and pecked his lips before walking up to our room.

The next morning, I woke up feeling super happy. It was Saturday so I had no work. And Devin and I had talked about our problems and solved them. Everything was great.

Devin wasn't in the bed beside me so I assumed he was downstairs already. I took a shower and changed into nice clothes before walking down the stairs.

I was surprised by the sight. The house was all cleaned up and looked amazing.

Devin walked into the living room with a plate of pancakes. He planted a kiss on my lips before saying,"Good morning, my love."

"What's all this?"I asked, looking around.

Devin gave me a big smile. "I meant it when I said I'll help around the house whenever I can,"he shrugged.

"I love you so much,"I mumbled, hugging him. He replied,"I love you more."
