☁️ A Bad Week - Zen X Reader ☁️

"Hey, Y/N, is that my t-shirt?" My boyfriend, Zen, questioned as he sunk down into the couch next to me.

"Ya." I said through a mouthful of popcorn, my eyes glued to the tv screen. I heard a subtle sigh next to me.

"As cute as it is that you like to wear my clothes, and as beautiful as you look in them... you're getting food all over my favourite t-shirt..." He pouted. I turned and glared at him.

I'd had a rough week. The stress of organising the upcoming RFA party alongside an unexpected visit from mother nature had got me feeling pretty shitty.

I put the popcorn bowl on the table, stood up, and started taking off the shirt. I saw Zen's eyes widen and a slight blush sweep his cheeks as he watched me. He'd obviously got the wrong idea. I threw the t-shirt in his lap and stormed off.

"Y-Y/N, wait!" He jumped up and followed me to our room. I flopped on the bed and just started bawling. I couldn't stop myself. Damn it. I wish I could have better control over my emotions.

"Y/N... I'm so sorry... Please, don't cry..." Zen placed his warm hand on my shoulder and I could hear the emotion in his voice as he spoke. I turned to face him, tears streaming down my cheeks.

"I got my period this morning."

Zen's face dropped as he let out a sympathetic sigh.
"Oh, baby, I'm sorry. Why didn't you tell me? You were so sure that this time was for certain." He scoots across the bed and takes my face in his hands and wipes my tears with his thumbs.

"I- I didn't want to believe it. I felt like... like... I thought I could be finally pregnant." I sobbed.

Zen and I had been together for just over four years, and we had been trying for a baby for the better part of a year to no avail so far.

"I-I'm sorry!" I cried. Zen had confided in me that he wanted to start a family quite early in the relationship, but I made him wait until I was fully ready and felt that I could handle the responsibility. Of course, he was nothing but an absolute sweetie about it. He explained he wanted kids young because he knew he would be with me forever anyway, and he wanted to create a healthy and beautiful family bond that he never had with his family growing up.

He looked confused for a second, then guilt flooded his features as he tilted my head up with his finger to face him.

"Please, Y/N. Never apologise for something you have no control over." His voice wobbled a little as his ruby eyes stared into mine.

"O- Okay." I sniffed. He pulled me into his arms and we laid there for a moment.

"Y/N... it will happen when the time is right. The universe has its plan for us, my love. When the time comes... I want you to know that you will be the most beautiful and kind mother that has ever graced this planet. I love you so much."

My heart.

"I love you more." Is all I had the strength to whisper as I lay my head on his chest.

"Impossible." He whispered, stroking my hair. We laid in comfortable silence for a few minutes before he began to hum my favourite lullaby, and I found myself drifting off into a peaceful sleep.
