WARNING: Angst

(Garroth's POV)

I'm woken up in the middle of the night to the sound of my front door being knocked on. I groan, getting out of bed and go down stairs to open the door only to see the last person I want to see right now... Laurance. "What are you doing here? Its 2AM" I ask, crossing my arms.
"I was gonna call... but my phone died" he says looking up at me.
I scoff, knowing that's a lie.
"Why are you here Laurance?"
"I needed to see you Gar"
"You don't get to call me that! Not after what you did".
"You mean what we both did".
I take a deep breath, "fine... come on in"
I say turning around, hearing Laurance close the door behind me. I go to the kitchen to grab two cups of water. I then walk over to the couch handing Laurance his cup.
"I'm sorry"
he says, whispering.
I shake my head, "please, say something other than 'I'm sorry'".
A minute or two goes by before I speak up. "We can't keep fighting like this, Laurance"
"I know, Garroth. Do you want to talk about it?"
"I guess," I say, clearing my throat, "I'll go first. Those words you used against me... there's no words to explain how I felt when you said all that. But after you stormed out of our house, I couldn't stop thinking about you. I missed you more than you think. I wanted to chase after you, but I knew you had to cool down. Our home isn't a home without you in it. Remember, I love you".
I say looking up at Laurance seeing he has tears streaming his face.
"Oh no no no baby-! Hey, it's alright"
I say putting down my cup, getting up, pulling him with me, as I place my hands on the sides of his face, wiping the tears away.
"Hey, look at me- just breathe, okay? It's okay to cry"
"I'm sorry. I am so sorry. I'm so so sorry I said all those mean words, and to cause you pain!" He says in-between sobs.
I pull into a tight hug, him burying his head into my chest.
"Shhhhh, it's okay, Laur" I say, stroking his hair, knowing it calms him down.
"Hear my heartbeat?" I ask.
I feel him nod against my chest.
"Just focus on that, love".
A minute or two goes by.
"C'mon, let's go to bed" I say, pulling him up the stairs with me.
I-I'll just sleep on the couch, Gar"
"You're coming with me whether you like it or not" I say
We get into our room, and crawl under the covers. Laurance immediately cuddles into my chest. I chuckle, kissing the top of his head, wrapping my arms around him protectively. "Goodnight my love".

After that night, we hardly ever fought. I mean we still have our playful banter, but you get what I mean. I love him, and he loves me. And that's all that matters.
