"you are so fucking uptight! y'know that?!" ethan yelled in my face, triggering the tears to fall from my eyes but i stopped myself, sucking in a sharp breath and pushing past him.

"don't walk away from me!" he barked as i tried walking towards the stairs, his hand going to grip my wrist harshly but i yanked it away.

"don't t-touch me!" i whimper, my fear coming out at how loud and aggressive he was being with me. he just 'tskd' before towering over my body, bending down slightly to get in my face.

"you started this so don't walk away from me" he growled.

i didn't start the fight, i just told him how uncomfortable i was with a girl flirting with him. we were out at dinner and the waitress was obviously all up on him and he 'didn't notice.'

the whole restaurant probably noticed for crying out loud.

"i-i didn't" i whisper, "i just didn't l-like how she was flirting with you"

"not my fault you're clingy and self conscious with how you look" he glares before shoving past me, his broad shoulder hitting mine making me whimper.

once i knew he was gone, i let the tears flow freely down my heated cheeks. it hurt to know that he didn't understand how it was from my side, i would never let another guy flirt with me, in front of ethan too would just be cruel.

meanwhile ethan was upset regretting what he had said, he knew she wasn't clingy and she was self conscious about herself, so his comments probably broke her.

he should've also apologized for not stopping the waitress and making it more obvious that he was with y/n. he knew she was flirting with him but didn't bother to do anything.

'stupid' he thought as he scolded himself, just wanting his girlfriend to come up and let him say how sorry he is. he wanted to hold her and whisper sweet nothings, wanting her to feel loved as he tells her how dumb he was being.

y/n's pov-
i wiped the mascara streaks that were down my cheeks and went upstairs to change. ethan was the first thing i saw, standing at the door like he was about to come out.

his eyes were also glossy and red, probably from crying but i didn't care. i just walked past him and grabbed my pj's, along with an extra pillow and blanket.

"baby-" he croaked but i just shook my head, undressing myself from my dress clothes and getting into my sleep ware. i tossed them into the dirty bin and was about to exit but stopped when he gently took my arm.

"don't touch me" i spat turning around and glaring at him, trying to hold back from swallowing the huge lump in my throat.

"i know you don't want to listen to me" he whispered looking down, sniffling a little while starring at his feet.

"but at least take the bed, i'll see you in the morning" he says before walking out the room.

sighing, i rub my temples before plopping down on the empty bed. all i wanted to do was cuddle with ethan and fall asleep in his arms, but he totally made a big deal out of something that was small and could've been fixed with talking calmly.
* ✧･ﾟ: *✧
i woke up cold, even though i had a million covers on me but nothing compared to the warmth ethan would give me just by having an arm around my waist.

the fight didn't even seem like a big deal now that i slept on it. it was just stupid in general and i'm sure ethan feels sorry.

he's always the first one to apologize after a fight, but we've never had one THIS big like last night. it'd usually end with us at least in the same bed, sadly that wasn't the case.

i put my hair in a messy bun before slipping on my fuzzy socks and heading downstairs. my eyes landed on the small couch that had ethan sleeping on, his arms clutched around one of the throw on pillows and his eyes puffy and red.

my heart strung just looking at him.

walking over to where he was, i made sure to be quite as i went on my knees and raised my hand up to his head. i ran my fingers through his hair, liking the feeling it gave me from how soft his locks were.

his eyes fluttered open, landing on me immediately as a frown came to his face. "i-i'm sorry" he croaked, his groggy morning voice present.

i just smiled softly, retreating my hand before reaching over to give him a hug. he didn't hesitate to hug back, his arms leaving the pillow to clutch around my body tightly.

"i'm so so sorry" he said again, his voice giving hints that he was about to cry. ethan never cries unless someone dries or he broke a bone, so i knew this really meant a lot to him.

"hey it's okay baby" i pull away with a smile, holding his face with my hands and softly rubbing my thumb over in circles.

he just nods before bringing me over to lay on top of him, my body on his as his arms wrapped around my waist, rocking us back and forth.

"i had the worst sleep last night" he chuckles quietly, sniffling a little as i chuckle too. "me too, baby. me too"

i yawn before getting more comfortable, snuggling more into his chest and then sighing in satisfaction.

"i love you princess, and i'm still really sorry for how i reacted. you didn't deserve it and i know you're self conscious but you shouldn't be, you're absolutely beautiful baby and i love you so much" ethan whispers, holding me tighter and kissing my head.

"i love you too ethan" i whisper back, tilting my head up slightly to lean in and kiss his lips. he smiles kissing back, blushing a little as i pull away and go back to my previous position.

soon both of us falling asleep in each other's arms, the way it should always be.
