Chill out (scout x gn!reader)
Reader is persuaded by their bf to take a break from all their work
As you clear out your desk, neatly categorizing papers in piles, you feel a comforting presence. Quietly, Jeremy stepped towards you.
The scout cooed, uncharacteristically quiet. his arms wrapped around your middle, his head dipping into the crook of your neck.
"I miss you. Come stay in my room tonight." He murmurs, pressing a gentle kiss to the shell of your ear. He notices a flicker of excitement in your eyes before it deflates abruptly. You click your tongue in disdain.
"Aw, 'm sorry Jeremy, not tonight."
You sigh, disappointment tinging your voice. You two haven't been spending much time together; you had far too much paperwork to file. You were the team's secretary, yeah. But honestly, it felt like you were drowning in it as the days went on—asking admin for access to different weapons, collecting contracts that were tailored to each mercenary as well as keeping track of their finances.
It'd started to take a toll on you, your shoulders getting heavier with the days as well as the strain it put on you and scout's relationship. Though through it all, he had been taking it pretty well. However, you could see that he missed you in the way his normally upbeat behavior was muted.
"Baby, come on." He groans, his grip faltering.
"We haven't spent any time together in months."
You look up at him, your hands going to cradle his cheek.
"Months." He whines dramatically.
You roll your eyes in amusement
"It has not been months."
He pouts for added effect, gaining a faint smile from you.
"Well, it feels like it."
His hands slide to your hips, running over them comfortingly.
"But seriously, we never hang out, y'know?" He trails off. His eyes meet yours, radiating concern.
"We never have time to ourselves... I miss seeing ya."
You frown, analyzing it over in your head. Has this been messing with him more than you thought? You worry your lip with your teeth. As you do, he notices, pecking you on the cheek softly and you relax.
"Sweetheart, it's fine if you can't. We've got all the time in the world. I just want you to take a break sometimes." Scout reassures with a smile.
"Boss, you're one badass," he paused. "but when i see you overworking yourself while the rest of us slack off, it just makes me want to take care of you." He says earnestly, pulling you closer to pepper you with kisses. You lean in, taking in his affection.
"You know what, you're right." Your lips purse into a firm line.
"I've been working all night, a ten minute break won't hurt."
"That's my hardworking angel."
Jeremy mumbles, his lips quirking up against your pulse.
