Summary: Reader has been feeling really ignored by Caitlin lately and brings it up to her...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was a Saturday night and you were sitting alone at one of the dark wood tables at Caitlin's work dinner. Caitlin and her team had just won 5 consecutive games and they were celebrating their victory with champagne. Even though your girlfriend was celebrating and having fun you couldn't help but feel excluded, again.
Obviously you love Caitlin and you're really proud of her but everything is just always about her victories and her parties and her teammate's beautiful, model, girlfriends. You are a 5'2 girl who works a boring office job. You don't fit in with the rest of the girlfriends. You start to get lost in your own thoughts about not being good enough. You try everything in your power to not cry and ruin your make up but it's no use when you feel the familiar feeling of hot, stinging, tears rolling down your cheeks. It starts with one, and then another, and then another, and before you know it you're full blown sobbing alone at this table while Caitlin can't even bother to look your way. The only thing you can think of to do is run to the bathroom and then, finally, Caitlin notices.
Your girlfriend follows you into the bathroom and just kind of stares at you while your mascara streams down your face. "What's wrong baby?" she says with worry. "I'm just so tired of not being pretty like the other girlfriends. They're all models and I'm literally a secretary and you can't even take 5 seconds to genuinely think about me and my feelings and I'm just tired Caitlin, I really am." It feels good to finally get everything off your chest but then you remember Caitlin actually has to respond. "I didn't know you felt that way..." she says as her voice breaks. "You never ask. You never pay attention to me. I know you would rather have a model girlfriend and it's just a matter of time before you break up with me." you start to cry harder and you sit on the slightly stained tile floor of the bathroom and curl into a tight ball. "Y/n. Look at me." you still remain in your protective ball. Caitlin bends down to match your level and wraps her arm around you. "Y/n, I never ever want you to think like that. I love you more than anything. I love that you're a secretary. I love how much you support me and how you come to every single practice. I love how you watch those cheesy romcoms with me even though you hate them. I love you y/n." Your girlfriend starts to break down into tears and hugs you tighter than you've ever been hugged before. You cry into each other for a while before you get up.
Once you stand up, Caitlin presses a firm kiss onto your forehead and smooths out your hair. "You wanna go home and watch a cheesy romcom?" she asks with a soft smile. "Forever and always." you reply as you tangle your hand with hers and walk out of the bathroom.
