The Shield Preferences

Seth Hurts Your Feelings

You were folding clothes neatly in the laundry room when the sound of the front door made you smile. Colby was home and you were so excited to see him even though you'd just seen him that morning. You threw the shirt in your hands down and made your way towards the front of the house.

Colby was just putting his gym bag down when you wrapped your arms around him. He was sweaty but you didn't care.

"I missed you!" You smiled expecting him to hug you back but he only nodded his head at you before pushing you back. You frowned a little before telling yourself that he was just tired.

"Your water is in the fridge. I made you lunch too," you told him as he made his way towards the kitchen. Instead of grabbing the plate of food on the table he simply grabbed a fruit cup and exited the kitchen. Colby seemed off and he usually told you what was wrong before it could escalate. His unusual behavior made you uneasy but you still decided that you would give him the benefit of the doubt.

When Colby had taken a shower and sat back to relax in the bedroom you made your way towards the bed in an attempt to cuddle him. Before you could lay your head on his chest he tensed up and sighed.

"Why do you keep throwing yourself on me? I just want to relax and you've been bothering me since I got home! You are so annoying! Just leave me alone!" He yelled as you backed away with a lump in your throat.

"Sorry," you mumbled before leaving the bedroom. You made your way back to the laundry room to finish folding the rest of you and Colby's clothes with tears in your eyes. You hadn't meant to be overbearing and bothersome. You'd were just happy to see him.

Before you knew it you were crying and sniffling as you finished folding. You wiped your eyes and decided that you'd take a nap on the couch and maybe Colby would be more affectionate later.

When you woke up you were surprised that your head was in someone's lap. You opened your eyes to see Colby looking down at you with a frown. "I'm sorry, sweetheart. I was mad about my workout flopping and I took it out on you. You do so much for me and I'm so grateful that I have someone who loves me the way you do. Forgive me?" He spoke as you rubbed your eyes.

You smiled and nodded before cuddling into his chest. You loved him and you were happy that he was back to his normal self.
