The sound of metal clashing with one another woke you up. You turned to the other side of the bed only to find yourself alone.

You rolled out of bed and pushed your hair back into place. You heard frustrated groans from the kitchen so you decided you'd ditch the bathroom first.

Although, when you saw Kevin's state while he sat on the ground surrounded by the kitchen utensils, you knew that your urge to pee could wait.

It broke your heart to see him like this - red puffy eyes, hair tousled, tear stained cheeks and all of the hope in his eyes nowhere to be found. You swallowed back a whimper and cautiously walked towards him. "Baby, what are you doing up in the middle of the night?"

He sniffed then rubbed his nose hard, making it even redder than before. "I got hungry."

"You should've woken me up, baby," you cooed, slowly dropping to your knees next to him. "I could cook something for you."

After their game in the playoffs with the Celtics, when Kevin dislocated his shoulder, he'd been miserable ever since. He couldn't move his left shoulder at all, much less try to make himself a meal.

"I don't need your help," he whimpered, wiping his cheek harshly. You opened your mouth but no words came out, too surprised at how harsh he sounded. "I just feel so helpless. I feel like a burden."

Usually, it'd been you with the constant emotional breakdowns but there was obviously major role reversals since the game that required you to be the stronger one. You pulled the power forward into your arms and pressed your lips against his sweaty forehead. "Baby, you're not a burden."

"Yes, I am!" Kevin yelled, making you jump. You closed your eyes and tried to steady your breathing at his sudden outburst. "I woke you up from your sleep after a busy day at school then at work! The team is struggling in the finals and I'm a weight on everyone's shoulders and-"

"Kevin Wesley Love, you are not a burden," you said in a more demanding tone, making him look up at you. "You're still Kevin Love. Your shoulder is going to be fine and you're going to go back into the season stronger than ever."

He stared at you blankly for a moment but nodded. You climbed over his lap and wrapped your arms around him, letting him cry into your shoulder. "You're not gonna leave?"

"Kevin, you're coming undone and your colors are fading," you frowned, grabbing both sides of his face. "If I'm here with you when you hit the ground, of course, I'll be there when you're ten feet tall and proving everyone who ever doubted you wrong. I'm not leaving even if my life depended on it."

"What did I do to deserve you?"

"Everything you've ever done, baby."
