With sore feet and arms full of groceries, you ascended the final flight of stairs to your apartment. Approaching your door, you reached your hand into your pocket to find your key. The small movement of your arm caused one of your bags to break, cans crashing and rolling across the floor. Cursing to yourself, you unlocked your door, setting the other bags on the floor before going back out to collect the runaway groceries.

    Walking back into your apartment, you placed the cans on the counter, not bothering to put them away. You walked to your couch, nearly falling onto it- desperate for some relief for you aching feet. Your eyes drifted to the stack of envelopes on your coffee table. Your heart sank, brutally reminded of the hundreds of dollars in bills you still had to pay.

    You sat up, picking up the bills, flipping through them. Rent. Utilities. Phone Bill. You felt your heart grow heavier with each one you read. Opening your phone, you checked your bank account. With your pay cut at work, you didn't have nearly enough to pay these in time for the month.

    "Fuck.." you whispered to yourself. You threw the bills back on the table, burying your face in your hands. You took deep breaths, on the verge of tears. When you finally seemed to calm yourself down, you heard a rustle in the kitchen. You looked over and watched as your cat nudged the milk you'd just bought off the counter, and watched as it came into contact with the floor, busting. Your cat jumped off the counter, happily lapping up the spilled milk. You broke down, having needed that one thing to set you off.

The stress of college, work, and trying to keep up with your apartment quickly caught up with you. Your social life had completely disappeared over the past months, and you hadn't even seen your friends- or your boyfriend- for over a week.

Curling up on your couch, you started sobbing. You heard your phone buzz. A few minutes passed and you heard it go off a few more times. You ignored it, still. Your sobs turned to sniffles, which turned to snores (metaphorical of course) as you fell asleep.

You were awoken by a knocking at your door. You opened your eyes, sleepily standing up and headed towards your door. Your face scrunched up when you saw the milk still spilled in the kitchen, and scowled even more when you realized the faint smell that produced by it.

You opened your door, being greeted by the very concerned face of John- your boyfriend.

"Y/N! You weren't answering your phone, I was worried." He said, pulling you into a short hug.

"John," you say- interrupted by a yawn, "what time is it?"

"Only about 11. Were you sleeping already?"

You nodded, "Yeah... Sorry, I just had a really shitty day." You turned away from him, wanting to get the mess in your kitchen cleaned up.

John grabbed your wrist, having noticed the darkening circles under your eyes, he became increasingly worried. He turned you around, "Y/N, are you okay? You don't seem like yourself anymore."

You nodded, too tired to fake a smile, "I'm fine, John. Just really tired."

"Y/N, you've been saying you're 'just tired' for weeks now."

You felt the stress from the day and the past weeks well up in you again. Tears began flooding your eyes. Letting out a sob, you wrapped your arms tightly around John.

"I'm just so tired, John... I have so much work to do." Your mind raced, thinking of all things that needed to be done- but, your body just wanted to collapse, to melt in John's embrace.

You were both silent for a moment, the only sound being your sniffles. Then, you heard John speak, "move in with me."

You look up at him, breaking the hug and wiping your eyes, "W-what?"

He looked down at you, tucking a strand of your hair behind your ear, "Move in with me, Y/N. You won't have to worry about bills or groceries. You can focus on school, you can find a better job. I want you to take care of yourself."

You sniff, "But.."

He cuts you off, "No. You deserve better than this. You can stay the night tonight if you want to."

You nod, turning around towards the mess in the kitchen. John grabs your wrist, "I'll clean that up, babe. You go get what you need." He gave you a quick kiss on the forehead, before walking to the kitchen to clean up the spilled milk.

You walked to your room, only grabbing your phone charger and a book- seeing as you already had some clothes and a toothbrush at John's place. You walk back out of your room, seeing John standing by the door waiting for you.

"You ready to go?" He asks. You nod, grabbing your keys, the two of you walked out.

Within the next hour, you were wrapped in John's arms, tangled in his blanket. Your head rested on his chest, and his hand ran through your hair.

"So?" You heard him say, his voice soft.

You looked up at him, "Hm?"

"Will you move in with me?"

You felt a small smile creep onto your face, "Yeah.." your voice sounded tired, but it was sincere.

In the dark room, you could see him smile. He kissed your forehead, "I love you, Y/N."

You shifted your position so you could kiss him back, "I love you too, John."

You laid your head back down on his chest and closed your eyes. As you fell asleep, you could feel the stress of the past weeks melt away.

A/N: Okay this had 0 editing done to it because I wanted to get this out as soon as I could. I'm so sorry this took so long- even though only like 10 people have read this...

Also, can we just talK ABOUT JOHN FOR A SEC???? I love that boy so much- and Anthony Ramos- like boi. I knew I had to do a John imagine next, but I had like 5 different ideas for one. So I started drafting like 3 of them, and this is the only one that's gotten past 10 sentences. Which is why this took so long.

Please send requests. I have the worst case of writer's block, so requests really help! As long as it's not smut, I will try my hardest to get it done and do the best I can with it!

Feedback is always appreciated :D

Love y'all <3
