The last thing Chris expected as he โrested his eyesโ on the sofa was to be woken by a sudden weight smashing into him. His eyes snapped open and he wheezed as his wife hurled herself at him like a cannonball, and before he knew what was happening, he was being tackled, his head being put into an abrupt headlock.
Despite himself, Chris swooned. He was right where he wanted to be, and he stopped defending himself, letting himself be manhandled by the woman on top of him.
โFight back,โ Y/N huffed, her face a forced scowl.
โNah,โ Chris simply said. But a minute later, he locked his legs around hers and deftly flipped them both so he was on top; Y/N's eyes grew wide below him.
Chuckling at her slowly blushing face, Chris leaned down and planted a soft kiss to the tip of her nose. โWanna tell me why you just rugby tackled me awake?โ
Y/N's lips quirked upwards. โAwake? Thought you were just resting your eyes.โ
โYeah, I was,โ Chris cleared his throat. โGonna explain?โ
She shook her head, and instead half heartedly thumped his muscular chest with the palms of her hands instead. And then she did it again, a loud huff escaping her.
Chris smiled lazily from above her. โYour little tantrum is so cute.โ
โIt's not,โ Y/N dug her elbow into his side, prompting a sharp inhale from her husband, his smile widening. She turned her face to the side, avoiding his smoldering gaze. โStop being so โฆ agreeable.โ
โOh? What do you want instead?โ
โFight back,โ Y/N prodded his torso, her eyebrows furrowed until they connected into one long line.
Lips twitching with mirth, Chris captured Y/N's erratic hands and pinned them down on either side of her head.
She blushed furiously, her eyes shining. โThat's unfair.โ
โHow else am I supposed to fight back, huh?โ Chris smirked. His hands around her wrists tightened as he pressed his body weight into her, trapping her there on the sofa so she couldn't escape or hit him again. Chris's legs bracketed Y/N's, pressing them together and leaving her incapacitated.
He was rewarded by the way Y/N's lips parted as her words died on her tongue. Her skin radiated heat so strong that Chris shivered, and he chuckled to himself, satisfied, as he lowered his head, kissing her forehead.
โWhy's my baby so angry, hmm?โ He hummed, nuzzling his nose against her cheek.
She stuck her tongue out at him despite the warmth spreading across her heart just by being close to him. โI'm mad at you.โ
โDid I do something wrong? I'm sorry.โ
Y/N's eyes welled with tears at how quickly he apologised without even knowing what was on her mind. Her face crumpled and Chris froze, eyes widening in surprise.
โHey โฆ what's going on? What's wrong, princess?โ Chris asked, releasing his hold on one of her wrists to tenderly cup her face. His thumb grazed the soft curve of her cheekbone, his molten eyes searching hers with an earnest look that caused the tears in Y/N's eyes to spill over and trickle down her temples, disappearing into her hair.
She lifted her head the small distance between their bodies and buried it in the hollow beneath his chin. Chris's hand reached around and cupped the back of Y/N's head, folding her into him, his chest twingeing with confusion but empathy nonetheless as he squeezed her tight.
โTalk to me baby,โ Chris murmured, patting her head in a slow, rhythmic beat. โWhat's wrong, hmm? Why's my girl crying?โ
She shook her head against his throat, her hands clamped over her face.
Chris bit his lip. โBaby โฆ โ
โWhy didn't you come get me sooner?โ Y/N breathed in a small voice.
At that, Chris paused. He blinked. โHuh?โ
She pulled away and looked up at him indignantly. โYou took ages to come to me. You knew I liked you โฆ you never even texted me. I waited for so fucking long, just wanting to be with you, and you โฆ โ
Utterly dumbfounded, all Chris could do was stare at his wife as his heart thumped like a dead weight in his ribcage all of a sudden. โI โฆ โ
โI know I sound stupid,โ Y/N rubbed her tears away, feeling foolish. โI'd wait all that time all over again to end up with you โฆ but I hated it. I felt like an idiot waiting for you everyday to break the silence, or just โฆ let me know that you knew I existed. I know you did, but I wanted you to actually do something. And you didn't until so much time had passed, and I โฆ did you not like me as much as i liked you?โ
โOf course I liked you,โ Chris sucked in a sharp breath, and he pulled Y/N with him as he set up on the sofa. He was face to face with her now, and he tangled his fingers with hers. โFuck, baby โฆ I was in love with you. For so long.โ
โThen why didn't you do something?โ Y/N sobbed, her face one of pure devastation. โWe could have spent so much more time together โฆ I hate that I wasted so much of my life in a place that I hated when you could have changed it in an instant.โ
Exhaling shakily, Chris dropped his head. His own eyes had begun to sting.
How could he explain to her that he had wanted to make her his from the very first day they had become aware of each other's presence?
โI know,โ Chris breathed. โI โฆ I was so busy with my work, and the kids, and I โฆ โ
โYou know I wouldn't have cared,โ Y/N sniffled, looking into his face. โI know you'd have always been really busy. I just wanted to know I was yours.โ
Chris scrunched his eyes closed, tears swimming behind them.
โI didn't feel like I was enough for you,โ he confessed in a small voice, looking down at his lap.
Y/N stared at him, astounded.
โI always thought you deserved so much more than me. I felt too ugly, too lacking in every way โฆ I โฆ I thought maybe if I really worked on myself and became a better person, I might be closer to being worthy of you โฆ I โฆ I wanted to be perfect.โ
She felt as though she might be sick. โChristopher โฆ โ
โAnd I was scared,โ Chris added, wiping the back of his hand across his face. โI've never loved someone as much as I loved you. It was terrifying. I thought it'd pass, or go away with time, and when it didn't, I distracted myself with work. I โฆ I didn't want you to be disappointed in me.โ
Tears freely streaming down her cheeks, Y/N crawled into his lap and locked her arms tightly around his shoulders, burying her face into the crook of his neck.
โYou're so stupid,โ she whispered, shaking with sobs. โI've never cared about any of that. I didn't want you to be perfect โฆ I wanted to learn and grow together from the beginning. I loved you and I wanted to be with you. You're the only one in the whole world I wanted to talk to and spend my time with. You're the only one who's ever made me feel like I belong.โ
Hand gripping her back, Chris crushed her body into his, his face turned towards her hair. He inhaled deeply, breathing in her familiar, comforting scent. โIs this why you're mad? You wanted to marry me earlier?โ
Y/N nodded against her husband's shoulder, her fingers curling into his top.
Despite everything, Chris couldn't help but laugh under his breath. He turned his face to pepper kisses along the side of her face. โI'm sorry. I'm sorry I didn't have the balls to come and get you when you needed me.โ
Sniffling into the fabric of his top, Y/N wiped her tears on the shoulder. โI forgive you.โ
โThank you,โ Chris grinned and kissed her head. โI'll make it up to you. I'll make up for all those years you waited.โ
He peered down at her, his face melting with affection when he saw her rosy cheeks and eyelashes stuck together with tears. He seeped his thumbs across the delicate skin beneath her eyes and then planted both hands on either side of her face, squishing her cheeks up until she resembled a little pufferfish.
โThis is really why you're mad?โ He asked.
She nodded, lips fluffed up into a pout. โi can't help it that I love you so much.โ
Groaning, Chris scooped her back into his arms, tucking her close into the safety of his embrace. โGod โฆ you're too cute. Next you're going to cry because we weren't together at birth.โ
She whined. โDon't. I'd have loved to be your friend as a kid.โ
The image of them both as children popped into Chris's mind, and he squeezed Y/N tighter until it almost hurt. โMe too,โ he whispered.
When he pulled away again, he delicately smoothed pieces of Y/N's hair away from her face. โWe might not have been together from the beginning, but we'll be together until the end. We have so many more years to spend together, baby. After a while those few years we lost out on won't feel as big anymore because we'll have spent more years together than without.โ
Y/N's eyes lit up at the thought of that. As usual, he was right, and her earlier frustration died down a little. Instead, she shuffled closer on his lap and leaned her forehead against his. โPromise?โ
Chris smiled warmly. Between their bodies, his pinky finger found hers and he locked them together just as he locked their lips together too. โPromise,โ he hummed, leaning in for another kiss.
