Just stay a lil' longer, baby?

It was the dead of night, and since you got fired from your job you've been a mess. You honestly thought you were doing a good job, but it seemed Mr. Kirschtein didn't think so. In a way you were happy, mostly because he was not only rude but he was a pig. But at the same time, you loved your coworkers so damn much. Even your grumpy co-manager Levi, and boy was he an ass. It also didn't help that your boyfriend, Bertholdt, was out of town.

"This is just fucking perfect. " You huffed, your (e/c) eyes red and puffy from all the crying you've been doing. Where was Bertl when you needed his gentle caresses and honey-coated voice? Oh right..out of town..

You turned onto your side on the queen sized bed you shared with that gorgeous man. "I miss him.." Your voice was raspy and quite hoarse from the constant screaming and crying. You huffed and squeezed your watery eyes shut. "Come back home.." You whispered before drifting off to a dreamless sleep.

Sunlight poured through your semi parted curtains and beamed on your face, you opened your eyes and hissed at the feeling. "Who did that?" You spoke, you never opened the blinds in the morning. Only Bertl did that, and well he wasn't here right now. You could also hear the shower running in the background and got frightened for a split second.

'...Who the hell's in my house?' You inquired internally before getting up and sauntering over to your vanity. "Ah!" You cowered. "Who is that?!" Your reflection stared back at you, your pretty (h/c) hair was wild and there were tear streaks on your semi pink cheeks. Not to mention your puffy red eyes and the dry drool on your chin, which you quickly wiped away.

"Maybe that's Hanji in the shower.." Hanji was your eccentric brown-haired companion who had a knack for picking the lock to your back door and sneaking in.

You tore yourself away from the vanity and shuffled over to the bathroom, whoever was in the shower definitely wasn't Hanji. Hanji wasn't very tall, nor was her hair black. The large figure tugged the white towel that hung on the top of the shower door and dried their hair and torso. It slid the shower door to the side and stepped out of the shower with a white towel wrapped around its waist.

"Bert?"

"Oh, (Name)! I didn't know you were up..I didn't wanna wake you up." He smiled. That sweet, sugar drenched smile that you missed for two whole weeks.

"Honey.."

His gentle words took you away from your thoughts.

"Yes, Bertholdt?" You looked up to him, your head inclined to the side slightly. "Why are your eyes so red..?" He asked with loads of concern and worry behind his words.

"I'll..I'll tell you after I get cleaned up and you get dressed okay?" He nodded and left the bathroom.

•°•°•°•°•°•°•Time Skip brought to you by Titan Eren. "Rrraawhhhhrrr!" •°•°•°•°•°•°•

You had told Bertholdt about your inner and outer turmoil, he listened intently and gave you hugs and kisses each time he felt you would cry.

You laid down with a soft 'oof' parting your lips when you hit your mattress, a certain gentle giant followed you soon behind. His arms wrapped around you protectively and he pulled you close.

Your eyes shut, you finally felt at peace. "Do you want to go for a walk to maybe clear your mind?"

"..No."

"Anything to eat?"

"I'm hungry..but.." You nestled your face into his neck before he shifted to get up.

"Just stay a lil longer, baby."
