Help Me (Yoongi X Reader)

Chapter 65

The next morning, Y/N woke early to the smell of sweet vanilla and cinnamon wafting through the house, along with the scent of spicy sausage.  After taking a quick shower and getting ready for work, Y/N went into the kitchen to see Yoongi standing at stove, plating French toast and links of sausage.  He turned at her approach and Y/N's heart broke at the tears on his cheeks that he quickly tried to wipe away.  She approached him and smiled when he willingly went into her embrace, nuzzling his face in her shoulder.  "Oh my sweet kitty.  Why are you so sad?"

Yoongi ducked his head against her shoulder in embarrassment, feeling the flush appear on his cheeks.  Although Y/N had said last night that she wasn't going to leave him, that she loved him, when he woke up this morning, he couldn't stop the fear that still flooded his heart, filled his mind.  He had been so scared that it was all a dream, that when she woke up, she was going to make him leave, that she was going to kick him out, never want to see him again.  "I... I was afraid to b-believe that you still wanted me."  His voice was soft as though she would leave if he were too loud.

Y/N's heart shattered even further at his words, knowing that all the progress that they had made seemed to dissipate.  It seemed like everything that happened between them was lost.  No matter what happened, she still wanted Yoongi to feel comfortable with her, for him to know that she loved him and always would. Just because she was hurt, it didn't change her feelings.  "I love you. No matter what. I love you."

His fear beginning to fade a little, Yoongi looked up at Y/N's face. "I love you. I love you so much and I'm so afraid you're going to leave me. Or kick me out." Yoongi took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart. "Please don't leave me."

Running a hand through Yoongi's hair, Y/N tried to soothe the anxious cat. "I'm not leaving you. I promise you that." Looking over at the clock on the stove, Y/N sighed. "But I do have to get ready for work. We will talk more when I get home tonight."

Yoongi pointed to the plates. "D-do you have time to eat breakfast with me?"  Although it was something small, sharing a meal together was one of the little things he cherished.

Y/N nodded her head. "I would love to."

Taking her hand, Yoongi led Y/N over to the island and quickly grabbed the plates from the counter. Y/N went to grab a cup of coffee, but Yoongi waved a hand at her. "No. Please sit.  I'll take... take care of everything."

Although she wanted to protest, Y/N gave in to the insistent cat and let him take care of her. Their breakfast was quiet, but not uncomfortable and she hoped it was at least something that could help them get on the right track to what they had, what they were.

After breakfast, Y/N offered to wash the dishes and clean up but Yoongi shook his head. "N-no. I can do it. I'm off today. Oliver told... told me to take a couple of days off." Yoongi was glad the producer had given him the time off.  Thinking about going back to his studio made his stomach hurt since it was where everything had happened, where he almost lost the love of his life and the future he had wanted with her, only her.

"Okay.  Then I'm going to finish getting ready for work.  I love you my sweet kitty.  Always."  Y/N kissed his nose, a smile crossing her face when Yoongi's lips turned down in a slight pout.  She leaned in and pressed a sweet kiss to his lips then left the room to get ready for work. 

While Y/N finished getting ready, Yoongi cleaned up the kitchen.  His heart felt much lighter since Y/N not only told him she loved him, but kissed him as well.  It gave him hope that things were going to be okay, that she wasn't going to leave him.  Soft footsteps came into the kitchen and Yoongi turned to see Y/N standing behind him, her coat on and her bag in hand.  "Leaving?"
