niki x fem!reader

11:03

you hear the door to you and niki’s apartment click open. sitting in the couch you turn around to see his tall frame walking inside closer the door behind him and kicking off his shoes.

you got off the couch and walk towards him exchanging a soft kiss to greet him. very normal interaction.

“hey baby”

he says looking down at you for a second, then turning around to take off his jacket. looking obviously drained.

“ki i missed you so much today you have no idea, i swear the day goes by so slow when you’re at practice.” you say with a slight frown thinking about how bored you were all day but on the other hand exited that your boyfriend is finally home even if it was already 11pm.

“missed you too yn but i think im go to bed.” he replied stoically, not even actually seeming genuine but he was tired so what can you do? you thought.

“you’re not hungry? i made you some food for when you came back but im not sure how good it is.” i chuckled not prepared for the switch in tension that would be happening in just the next couple of seconds. before you could even grab the food he snapped, not aggressive, not scary, but it wasn’t how your niki was.

“yn ur so annoying sometimes y’know that? can i have a little bit of space? christ.” he wasn’t thinking, he just went straight to the bathroom to take a quick shower.

meanwhile you? you felt sick to your stomach. niki has never spoken to you like that and it kind of hurt, obviously. but it wasn’t his fault. you were being annoying.

“oh..” is all you could say as he left you in the kitchen. alone. tears pricking at your eyes.

11:44

you were laying in the bed, you’ve already shes your tears and you didn’t want niki to see how stupid you look crying over something so dumb. but you honestly couldn’t fall asleep, you know you’re sensitive but you’ve never felt this way from something that niki has said to you.

your thoughts paused as you heard the bedroom door open. it was niki dressed in just shorts, a white tank and wet hair, already plopping into the bed.

“baby? are you asleep?” he calls out to you as you feel the bed dip in. you weren’t even sure you wanted to respond, what you want to do is pretend to be asleep but, you missed him.

“im up..” you shift your body so its facing his sitting figure.

he saw your puffy and red eyes and his guilt ran deeper. while he was in the shower all he could think about was that asshole move he pulled just because of his own stress. it hurts him to know he hurt you.

“you’re not annoying” he whispered, getting under the covers to feel your warmth and push your hair off of your face. “ki..” a frown forms on your face watching him apologize.

he sighed “i love you, i don’t want you to cry because of me. it wasn’t my place to come in here and ruin your excitement, i let the stress of the day get to me when i know i’ve been waiting to see you all day. m’sorry pretty.” he pressed a soft kiss to your lips then your forehead.

“riki, i forgive you, im sorry for pressing you as soon as you walked in the door-“

“no. don’t say that you didn’t do anything wrong. don’t apologize for my mistakes pretty, i wait all day to see you, for you to be all over me when i get home.” he wrap his arms around your waist to pull you closer, your head in the crook of his neck. “sorry, sorry.” you giggle, muffled by his warm skin.

he started to doze off quickly arms getting heavy around your waist. “goodnight riki. i love you so much”

“mm” he grumbled sleepily eyes now fully closed. “love you more.” which is the last thing he says before he falls asleep. you followed him shortly after in a warm comfortable slumber.
