Chris Collins One-Shots Series

Comfort

      It had been a really, really, long day.

    It would have been an understatement to say that I was stressed. For weeks now I had just felt completely burnt out- all I really wanted was to sleep. But sadly, I couldn't just stop time to take a break and my stress just grew worse with every passing day. And now I had finally met my limit. The moment I had gotten back home, I had started crying and couldn't stop.

     After some time I had managed to make it to my room, and ended lying on my bed with my face against the pillow. I wasn't even trying to keep the sobs and gasping in anymore, even if there was a chance that I could be easily heard. It was no surprise when I heard someone walking into my room.

     "(Y/N)?" A voice asked carefully. I could easily recognize the voice as Chris' voice, but I didn't have the energy to even try and greet them. I just kept sobbing against the pillow. I could hear Chris walking over to my bed and feel him sit beside me. A warm head against my head.

   "What's wrong?" He asked softly and carefully stroked my hair. I just sobbed in answer and glanced at him for a second before burying my face into the pillow again. I really didn't want to deal with this right now. I heard Chris sigh a little. The bed sheets ruffled a little as I felt him flop down on the bed next to me and pulled me into a hug. I shifted a little so that my face was now against his chest and glanced up at him. I couldn't really figure out how he felt about this, but his face wasn't a happy one. 

    "Everything's going to be alright." He just whispered after, his voice cracking just a bit, and pressed a light kiss on my forehead. He started gently wiping the tears off my face with the sleeve of his shirt and kept softly brushing his lips against my forehead to comfort me. I just relaxed and closed my eyes,grabbing his shirt to pull him closer. Feeling his chest rise and fall as he breathed comforted me so much.

     Soon he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me as close as he could, his lips still pressing against my forehead from time to time. Slowly I pressed my hands against his back and nuzzled my nose against his chest.

       "I love you (Y/N), I just.... really love you." He mumbled quietly, an anxious tone able to be heard in his voice. I had really managed to scare him, it seemed. I smiled, just a little, and gently ran my hands across his back.

      "I love you too." I whispered back and smiled at him. He seemed relieved now that I had calmed down a little, and pressed his lips against my forehead once again.

     "And you know I'll do anything to make you feel better, right?" He asked and glanced at me. I nodded and pressed a tiny kiss against his chin.

     "It's enough to just have you here." I whispered to him, and closed my eyes, cuddling closer to him. I had a feeling Chris would definitely wouldn't let me leave this bed for the rest of the day. I didn't mind at all.
