"What?" I looked at C/n's face with alarm and quickly stood up from my desk, "What is it?"
Tears dripped down his face, and the look of anguish was so severe that I nearly started crying myself. I walked around my desk just as C/n moved forward so I could meet him in an embrace. I held him tightly, but his hold on me was somehow firmer. Resting my chin on his shoulder, I felt his body curl inward and around mine. One of his hands gripped the back of my head and in my hair, while the other branded me against him from around my waist.
"I just need to feel you here with me," he mumbled as a way of explanation.
I nodded my head against him. I don't know how long we stood there for, but each sniffle and shake of his body made it so that I never wanted to let go. C/n's profession can be very mentally taxing, and while I've seen a fair share of his bad days, I'd never seen him so visibly distraught before.
I pushed back a bit from his body to get a look at his face, "Let's go lie down?"
He reluctantly released his hand from the back of my head, but C/n kept his other arm around my waist so I couldn't get too far. He rubbed at his eyes with his free hand and pulled me towards our bedroom.
I laid down on my side, and C/n followed. He rested his body a bit lower in relation to mine so he could push his head against me and into the crook of my neck. I felt every one of his breaths as I wrapped my arms around him and attempted to get him some kind of solace.
Because we were so close together, I could feel the tension that was coiling up his body.
"Don't hold it in, C/n," I soothingly massaged his scalp, "It's ok to cry."
He let out a hoarse laugh just as I felt a tear against my neck.
"God, I don't know how I could survive without you Y/n," C/n said.
I lightly poked his head, "Don't say that. You'd be able to survive without me, you know."
He shook his head slightly, "No I wouldn't."
I sighed, "Well, it's not like I'd be able to survive without you."
I pressed a kiss against C/n's forehead. He looked at me with a slight smile before pulling himself up so our faces were aligned.
"That's ok," he dropped a peck against my lips, "because that's never gonna happen."
I couldn't stop the smile from forming on my face, "Ok."
"Thanks for always comforting me."
"You do the same for me too," I reminded him.
C/n kissed me again, but this time for a longer duration. I shut my eyes and let his warmth and familiarity wash over me as he kissed me tenderly. I felt my body softening along with his, and his smile against my lips had my heart warming. C/n slowly trailed his hands up my body while I had mine firmly on his shoulders. He pulled away, but not before pressing one more quick kiss on my lips.
We lay together for a while, bodies intertwined, simply finding comfort in each other's company.
