you woke up and just stare at the celling. youre thinking about random stuff till colby comes to your mind. you're sad cause it bothers you how the only attention you get from him is at night when he gets home. you're starting to think he's losing interest in you.
you look to the side and you're not surprised that colby isn't snuggling next to you. that's it. you thought. you fully wake up and decide that the silent treatment would be an entertaining revenge. you get out of bed and didn't even give colby the usual morning kiss, you just went straight downstairs for breakfast.
you make a ruckus while grabbing dishes from the cupboard, slamming the fridge doors shut and throwing your utinsels on the counter. you hope to wake up colby so you can start the revenge soon
soon enough, colby comes from upstairs and hugs you from behind. "good morning baby" he says with his voice still raspy and then kisses your cheek. but you pretend that if he isn't there. trying to hold back grins was so hard.
"whatcha making?" he lets you go, allowing you to walk to to pantry to grab cereal.
you start pouring the cereal in your bowl and all your attention goes to that.
"y/n?" he asks kinda confused wondering why you're ignoring him.
you finish making your bowl of cereal while he repeatedly asks what's wrong.
you pick up your bowl and start walking towards the table. you place the bowl down but he snatched it from you.
"i'm not liking this game you're playing baby girl"
he knows that nickname makes you fold but you couldn't let him win that easy. you sigh and just walk away from him, you're planning on making another bowl of cereal
before you made it to the pantry, you were grabbed by the waist and were picked up off the ground. you let out a yelp and squirm around in colby's arms.
colby tossed you on the couch, he locked you in the grasp with his legs and pinned your wrists down. "i'm gonna get you to talk to me sooner or later, you might as well surrender now" he threatened. while he was talking it was so hard to avoid eye contact since he was hovering right above you
before you knew it, your wrists were released and his fingers ran up your sides, tickling you. you kick your feet and try to push him away, trying desperately not to giggle
your face started to get hot, you knew you looked like a tomato, after holding for as long as you could you burst out laughing
"OKAYOKAYOKAYOKAY" you yell hoping he will give you mercy
"ah there's your voice" he says then takes your wrists then pins them down again
"now tell me, why are you giving me the silent treatment?" he smiles in hopes you would just give in
knowing that you'd probably suffer more tickle attacks if you kept going, you decide to confess to him.
"i just miss you. and i- i'm scared" you say as tears start forming in your eyes
"what do you mean?" he says confused
after holding in your tears for long enough, a sob escapes your lips, one that broke colby's heart.
he lets your arms go then gets off of you, he helps you sit up then sits down next to you.
"i-im scared youre losing feelings for me" you cry
"ah baby come here" he says softly, opening his arms for you.
you scooch closer to him but he just takes you from under the arms and puts you in his lap. he immediately wraps his arms around you and squeezes you tight
"why do you think that? i love you so much" he says
"you're always leaving me to go film, travel, hang out with friends & whatever and it just hurts!" you cry
he takes a deep breath before speaking "i know i've been distant and im sorry, i truly am. im not losing feelings at all. i still love you just as much as i did yesterday, 2 weeks ago, last month, whatever if not more"
he hears your little sniffles
"baby don't cry" he lets go of the hug to look you in the eyes "i'm sorry i made you feel like this." he wipes under your eyes "i wanna make it up to you and i will i promi-"
"it's okay i know you're busy. i'm just being a baby" you cry
"you're not being a baby, i'd be pissed too if my partner made me feel lonely all the damn time."
he wipes your tears again
"i'll take a break from everything if you want me too, i'll do anything" he grabs the side of your face and caresses your cheek with his thumb
"i don't want you to take a break, you and sam are doing so good right now you can't just stop"
"well the least i can do is take a little break and spend some time with you. im sure sam will understand, he'd love a break too"
"yeah but-"
"but it's okay, don't worry about it k? i will do better and i won't make you feel shifty anymore" he grabs your hands then kisses your knuckles softly
he pulls your hands, making you fall into his chest, he wraps his lanky arms around you and starts rubbing your back in slow circles. he kisses your forehead gently then holds the back of your head
"promise?" you say softly
"i promise." he pulls away and gazes at you
you wipe under your eyes and sniffle, colby smiles at you a little but it's one of those adoring smiles, one that makes you feel so loved.
"i love you" he says innocently
"i love you too colby"
he pulls you back into a hug and in the moment you knew everything was gonna be okay
