A Lovers Embrace (Diego x Reader)

It had been a very long day for Diego. Finding out the end of the world is coming, and you supposedly die in it, isn't exactly what he would call a fun time. Or anyone for that matter. Without a second thought he slips through the academy's front door. Diego just needed to be with you right now. He just needed to forget all of it. So he ran, and just kept on running until he got to your front door.

Frantically, Diego knocks on the door hoping you'll answer. A few seconds pass, although to him it seemed like ages, and you answer the door. He takes you in for a second admiring how, even in pajamas with your hair every where, attractive you are.

"Baby, are you alright? It's one in the morning. What are you doing here?" You question, your voice laced with worry. "Are you hurt? Did something happen?" Diego shook his head, and entered the house.

"No (y/n), I just needed to see you." He hoped you believe his semi-lie. Although, he can tell by you squinting your (e/c) that this isn't the case.

Without saying another word, you lead him to your room and find him something to sleep in. "Lay down, handsome. I'm going to get you some water and when you're ready we are going to talk about what's bothering you, okay?" You exit the room for a minute, and grab some water. You aren't exactly sure what could have Diego this upset. I mean, yeah, his father died, but Diego didn't seem too affected by it when he first figured out.

When you enter the room again, Diego is on your bed silently crying. You set the water down and rush to him, pulling him into your chest to let him cry. And cry, he did.

"I-I love you, (y/n)." He whispers.

"I know baby, I love you too. Now, what's going on handsome? You know you can tell me anything." You respond. He slightly shakes his head no.

"I'm n-not ready t-to."

You sigh a bit, and grab Diego's hand pulling both of you backwards.

"C'mere." You open your arms, and he lays beside you. You guys wrap your arms around each other, almost afraid to let go as if one of you were going to disintegrate into nothingness.

You run your hands through his black hair trying to sooth whatever thoughts plagued his mind. Eventually he fell asleep, gripping you as if you were his lifeline. You sighed and rolled over. We'll just have to speak about it in the morning, you chuckled silently to yourself before falling asleep next to the love of your life.
