It’s Me Not You | David Dobrik
Prompt: David pays too much attention to his work.
David sat in his usual spot on the couch with his laptop, his glasses slowly falling off of his face. He shoved them back up onto his face and continued working as you sat down onto the couch next to him.
“Hey baby, what are you working on?” David gave you a light hum in response as his fingers clicked along the keyboard. You watched him carefully, waiting for a better response but nothing came. You shifted in your spot on the couch and placed your hand on his leg.
“David.” You tried again to gain his attention. This happened often and it was starting to get on your nerves. He finally lifted his gaze from the computer to you, humming again.
“Oh hey Y/N.” He smiled lightly. You rolled your eyes as you got up from the couch. David frowned, setting his computer aside.
“You.” You said bluntly. David got up from the couch and followed you into the kitchen.
“What are you talking about?” You slammed your hand on the counter and spun around to face your boyfriend.
“I don’t know David. Where should I start?” His mouth fell open, opening and closing like a fish.
“Maybe start with what the hell crawled up your ass this morning?” He fired back, clenching his fists. You clenched your jaw.
“You choose work over me. Every time. All the time. I am just here. Do you even see that I’m here anymore? Do you even care? Or should I move out so you can be alone again.” David’s mouth hung open like it was on a hinge.
“Where the fuck is this coming from? We just went out to eat the other night!” You scoffed.
“That’s what I mean. We do things when it’s convenient for you.” Now David was the one who was scoffing.
“Give me one time I’ve ignored you.” Your eyes went wide.
“Just now! I was trying to talk to you and you wouldn’t give me the time of day!” Your voice reached new octaves you didn’t know you had in you.
“I was working on something!” He shouted back. You threw your hands in the air and turned away from him.
“My fucking point exactly. You’re always working on something David. I’m done talking here.” You stormed out of the kitchen, leaving David. You slammed the bedroom door shut and locked it.
“Y/N!” He stomped after you down the hall, wiggling the doorknob.
“Fuck off!” You yelled. Natalie cracked her door open, peeking her head out.
“David.” She whispered, catching his attention. His shoulders slouched as he let out an audible sigh.
“Come here.” She waved for him to come into her room. Shutting the door behind him, Natalie motioned for David to take a seat.
“I think it’s time we have a chat.” David groaned.
“I’m sure you heard everything.” Natalie nodded.
“And I agree with her.” His eyes went wide and he opened his mouth but Natalie held up her finger to stop him.
“Hear me out.” She started.
“You need to realize you are too into your work. You work all day everyday. When was the last time you had a break?” David pursed his lips.
“Exactly. So think about it that way. She doesn’t get to see you because you are working all the time. It’s like if you were to have a nine to five job but always work overtime.” David started to chew on the inside of his cheek.
“She just wants to be with you. Not just be here.” David nodded slowly. Natalie sighed.
“Think if she was at work all the time and you never got to see her. How would that make you feel?” He nodded again.
“God I’m so dumb.” He put his head in his hands, shaking his head.
“You know how to fix this. So fix it.” David smiled at Natalie as he got up from the bed.
“Thank you.” She nodded. David headed for the door, leaving Natalie with newfound confidence.
“Y/N.” David knocked on the door lightly.
“You don’t have to open the door, I just hope you’ll listen.” David sucked in a deep breath.
“I’m sorry I’ve been such an ass. I didn’t realize I’ve been working so much and ignoring you. That’s not what I want to happen between us. I love you too much.” There was a long pause of silence before the door clicked open and you peeked your head out.
“I’m going to try and change things. I know it’s not going to change right away but I’ll work on it.” David said with a light smile. You opened the door all the way.
“I mean it. I’m sorry.” David opened his arms, hoping you would return the gesture and hug him. He knew he needed it. And so did you. You opened your arms and wrapped them around your boyfriends body.
“You know I love you too.” You whispered into his chest. David’s chuckle rumbled through your body. He looked down at you and pressed a small kiss to the top of your head.
“No need to be. It was me not you.”
