Raihan struggled to keep his eyes open as he scrolled through his Instagram. It was only 11 on a Friday night, but he felt as if he were about to pass out at any second. Working at the gym was exhausting, and Raihan often found himself sleeping on his living room couch instead of his bed. Just as he was about to close his eyes, he was jolted awake by the sound of a knock on his door.

He stayed in place for a few moments. Was that just his imagination? However, the person knocked a few more times, confirming his thoughts. He slowly got up and opened the door.

"Hey, who is - (Y/N)...?" He rubbed his eyes in confusion. You, however, couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into tears.

"Woah! What happened? Come inside and talk to me about it, 'kay?" Raihan said softly, hugging you as your cries were muffled in his chest. He scooped you up bridal style and carried you over to the couch, your grip on his hoodie tightening.

He gently set you down on the couch as you sniffled and wiped your nose with your hand.
"I'm sorry... I'm so, so sorry... I didn't mean to come and wake you up, I-I just didn't know what else to do, and I feel so lost right now..." You said shakily as you tried to calm yourself. You looked up at Raihan, who was listening intently.

"Can you please tell me what happened?" He slowly took your soft hands in his.

You took a deep breath. "My ex. He's a horrible person... recently my job has been causing me to come home later than usual, and he's been using it as an excuse to accuse me of cheating on him. Of course, I would never do such a thing, but he doesn't believe me... he hit me before I came here." You tucked a piece of your hair behind your ear to reveal a large purple bruise forming on your cheekbone. Raihan felt tears prick the sides of his eyes. He couldn't believe someone could do that to you...

"And as if that weren't enough, he told me it didn't matter since he was cheating on me for months. Every word he said to me is burned into my memories... He said I never mattered. That I was his tool, something he only used whenever he felt like it. That he never loved me to begin with... and I'm worthless, unwanted and unloved..." Tears began falling from your eyes once more.

Raihan hugged you, burying his face into your neck. He couldn't stand seeing you like this. It was as if he could feel all the pain you were going through. He hated it.

He pulled you closer. "You never deserved him, you know that? You're far too amazing. You deserve the world, (Y/N)... I won't let you be hurt like that ever again."

He inhaled sharply as you looked up at him. "Now's probably a bad time to say this, but I love you (Y/N). I love you. Words cannot express how much you mean to me. Knowing what you were going through makes me feel absolutely horrible. I can't bear to see you hurting like this. I want to keep you safe and make sure you feel loved, okay?"

Your grip on him tightened. You'd be lying if you said you never had some sort of feelings for Raihan, even when you were still with your ex. A part of you always wished you could be with Raihan, and you couldn't believe it was finally happening...

"Thank you... you're the best. I love you too, Raihan. Thank you for looking out for me, I really appreciate it." You said softly as you wiped a tear off your cheek.

"Anything for you. By the way, you should stay here with me tonight. It's too late and I don't want you going back to your apartment with him there. If it's okay with you, I'll help you move your stuff out of that apartment tomorrow and you can stay with me until you figure something out," Raihan said, placing a kiss on your forehead.

"I'd love that, thank you," You said.

The two of you fell asleep on the couch shortly after, with you laying on Raihan's chest and his arms around your waist. You were finally free and able to live in happiness once again.
