Chapter Text
Gavin sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose, eyes shut tight as he leaned against the door of his apartment trying his best just to hold it together. Another long shitty day had come and gone and now he was home. His shoulders sagged as he took another deep breath almost tempted to slide down the door and sit on the cold concrete floor. Maybe he'd light up a cigarette and just stay there. He was so tired but he he couldn't will himself to move away from his spot against the door.
"Gav...," When had the door opened he wondered as warm hands cradled his face, "Gavin sweetheart are you alright?"
His eyes opened slowly, focusing on (Y/N) standing in the doorway of his apartment and he muttered something under his breath causing their brows to furrow in confusion. Their hands slid down his face to his shoulders and he could feel the kneading pressure. He felt gravity take hold as they pulled him forward and his body just slumped over theirs. He didn't move to hold them back just stood there as they cradled his body to theirs.
"Come on," (Y/N) said tugging him forward gently, "Let's get you out of the door. I'll make something to eat."
" 'm not hungry," it was the first words out of his mouth since he left the station.
"Okay," (Y/N) hummed rubbing his back softly, "How about a warm shower? Do you feel up for that?"
Gavin shook his head softly, "No. Just tired."
Gavin felt himself be dragged through his shitty apartment and he just let it happen. He knew he was safe in (Y/N)'s hands.
(Y/N) pushed him through the bedroom door and pushed his body to their shared bed, Gavin didnt even bother to make a noise as (Y/N) stood back up, "I'm gonna go lock up and I'll be back in just a moment alright?"
Gavin's mind drifted into a hazy state of being half-awake and not as the moments ticked by while (Y/N) was gone. He couldn't really tell how long they had been gone only that the next thing he remembers is gentle hands easing his jacket off his shoulders and tugging his shirt off. He felt a swift push and he landed on his back, the springs of the bed squeaking under his weight as he felt his shoes, socks and pant being pulled from his body.
Relief.
As soon as the cooler air grazed his skin, Gavin felt relief rush over him and his muscles relaxed allowing him to sink into the mattress. He allowed himself to shift and adjust, his head eventually making contact with the pillows strewn at the top of the mattress.
Gavin felt the mattress sink, heard the creak of the old springs as (Y/N) crawled across mattress to drop down beside him, pressing their body into his. The weight seemed to ground him further as he wrapped his arm around their waist and buried his nose into their hair. A gentle kiss was pressed to the under side of his jaw as he drifted off.
{Extended Ending}
Gavin woke up late the next morning more than a little confused at just how he had ended up at home. He just barely remembered leaving the station last night and now here he was in nothing but his boxers at home in bed and he stopped to blink as he felt a shift in weight against his arm. (Y/N)'s head was pressed into his shoulder, breathing softly.
Of course.
(Y/N) must have taken care of him last night, made sure he was comfortable and in bed in his exhausted daze. He shifted and pressed a soft kiss to their temple before pulling them close and drifting back to sleep.
