tw: drinking

y/n quietly stepped inside, closing the door behind her and taking her shoes off. she frowned, seeing the cabinet in the kitchen cracked open and an empty bottle sitting pitifully on the counter beneath it. a small part of her hoping it wasn't what she thought. she walked into the bedroom, and there he sat, tiredly, holding a half dranken bottle of liquor, and a polaroid photo in his other hand. he looked up at her, sadly.

"you came home...?" he slurred. she nodded, sitting on the bed next to him. "i'm sorry" tears swelled, and fell down his cheeks. she nodded again, frowning. "i love you y/n" he sniffled, putting the polaroid in his pocket and burying his face into her neck. "i thought you'd never come home" he mumbled, brushing her hair with his hand. she shook her head.

"i'd never leave you" she whispered, kissing his forehead. he leaned into her touch, savoring every moment. she gently took the bottle from his hands and set it on the bedside table.

"you're an angel" he slurred, hugging her waist and falling on to the bed with her. she softly chuckled, laying down with him. "you're an angel in disguise" he mumbled into her neck, in what felt like only a moment- he was asleep.

morning came quicker than expected, wrapped up in blankets, schlatt held her close. y/n felt loved. his steady breathing went shivers down her spine, the old liquor on his breath was sharp but forgiving. she sighed, at peace. she felt whole, complete. she gently brushed her fingers through his hair, pressing soft kisses along his jaw. things felt right, she didn't care about the hurtful words he had said or the glances of anger they had exchanged prior. it all melted away. and what remained, love.

"schlatt...?" she whispered, brushing some hair out of his face.

"hm-" he mumbled, keeping his eyes shut. y/n couldn't help but let out a giggle, his tired eyes peaked open and he winced.

"does your head hurt...?" she frowned, playing with his hair again. he nodded, leaning into her touch.

"you make it better..." he grumbled, a sleepy haze fading over his eyes. she smiled,

"take a shower...ill make you something to eat" she said, sitting up- before schlatts hand gently pulled her shoulder back close to him. he huffed, wrapping his arms around her waist.

"i didn't mean anything i said last night..." he mumbled, kissing her forehead.

"i know..." she whispered, cupping his face.

"i'm gonna take more days off..." he smiled at her, making her face light up.

"really!?" she grinned, schlatt nodded. she peppered kisses over his face. y/n wrapped her arms around him, entangling themselves in each other.

the crackling of eggs and bacon filled the room, along with the significant smell of coffee wafting throughout the kitchen. the trickling of shower water echoed from the bathroom in their bedroom. y/n poured herself a cup of coffee, setting it down, and turning the stove off. gently pushing the eggs and bacon off the frying pan and on to a plate, she set it down, then poured another cup of coffee for schlatt, awaiting his arrival from the shower. sipping the warm coffee and sitting patiently at the dining table, she tilted her head up- the shower had stopped and shortly after- schlatt had walked out, wearing his usual casual- yet very formal- attire. she smiled, he was pretty, even with his damp hair and flushed cheeks.

"what...?" he chuckled, noticing her admiring gaze. she snorted, a flush of red caking her cheeks with grace.

"nothing-" she mumbled, looking down, taking a sip of her coffee. he grinned knowingly, walking over and placing a kiss on her head.

"youre funny" he grinned again, running his fingers through her hair, and sitting down next to her. "hey- so..." his smile faded, turning more serious. y/n set her coffee down, turning her gaze back to him. "again...i really want you to know, i didn't mean anything i said last night..." he repeated, pushing some of her hair behind her ear. she nodded,

"yeah...me neither" she placed a hand on the side of his face, admiring his features. he smiled again, leaning into her touch-

"well maybe i meant one thing..." he chuckled,

"what?"

"you're an angel" he sighed.
