Y/n overheard shawn saying that she was clingy so she went for a walk to calm herself down and shawn got really worried
thank you for the prompt/idea! hope you like this little blurb! (kinda got carried away with this one oops)
Shawn came home to a silent condo and immediately knew something was wrong. Usually when you were home alone while he spent the day at the studio, he always opened the door to see you dancing around to your favorite songs or cleaning the house, working on assignments for school.
But today, the door revealed an eerily quiet condo that was always bursting with life. It was Shawnâs first clue that something was off.
Then he noticed that your coat was gone along with your favorite pair of Vans which were both always sitting right by the front door.
An aching stab went through Shawnâs heart as the thought of you not being home entered his mind and he desperately wanted to believe that you were upstairs in your shared bedroom, all snuggled up and asleep.
Shaking his head which made this curls fall over his forehead, he slowly approached the staircase to hopefully put his worried thoughts to rest.
But when he was met with an empty bedroom, Shawn began to stress.
Racking his brain to think if you had told him about any plans today or going out with friends but coming up with nothing, he rushed downstairs again to call you. The phone rang over and over again as he nervously tapped his foot against the tiled floor on the kitchen.
âPlease pick up, baby. Please,â Shawn begged as the call went to voicemail again, your cheery voice floating through the speakers.
After several failed attempts of getting a hold of you and sending a bunch of texts, Shawn decided to call the next person who would hopefully have a clue about where his girlfriend was at the moment.
âConnor?â Shawn asked immediately as he heard some rustling on the other end of the phone.
âYeah, hey Shawn. Whatâs up? Everything okay?â He questioned, hearing the concern dripping from his friendâs words. Out of everyone on the team and crew, you had gotten the closest with Connor and practically became his very best friend. So Shawn knew that he had to have some idea about what was going on.
âHave you talked to Y/N recently? I just got home and sheâs not here along with her coat and shoes which usually means sheâs on a walk. But I donât know man, Iâm really worried. She always lets me know whatâs going on when Iâm at the studio.â Shawn rambled frantically, tugging at his curls as he paced the room.
âShe did let you know, but you didnât listen.â Connor cut him off and Shawn froze, his eyebrows furrowing in confusion.
âCon, I donât know what youâre talking about.â Shawn stated, trying to figure out what his friend was getting at.
âShe called you at the studio today, but didnât have much time to explain herself before you told her she was being clingy and interrupting the writing session.â Connor explained softly, knowing the words were going to hurt Shawn. And sure enough, he felt a pang of guilt hit him as his heart completely dropped.
âI said that. I really said that to her.â Shawn whispered in disbelief, unable to wrap his mind around the fact that he hurt the girl who meant the most to him. He promised that he wouldnât ever do exactly this and today, because of the pressure, he did. âIâve gotta go, Connor.â He said quickly before ending the call and rushing to grab his keys again.
By the time he got in the Jeep and drove to the nearby park that had a beautiful view of Lake Ontario, one of your favorite places, his nerves were through the roof but he knew you would be here.
You were sitting on your usual bench with your eyes focused on the horizon and despite everything, Shawn couldnât help but smile softly at the sight of you. A weight was lifted off his shoulders that you were okay and he didnât waste any time to rush over to you.
âBaby,â Shawn whispered gently, approaching the bench as your head lifted at the sound of his voice. The brightness of your eyes was dulled a little and he immediately noticed. âWhat are doing here?â He asked, sitting next to you and intertwining his fingers with yours.
âJust took a walk. Didnât want to bother you anymore when you got home.â You mumbled quietly, hesitantly meeting Shawnâs gaze and he knew he messed up. The stress of the studio shouldnât have made him snap and make you upset.
âSweetheart, Iâm so sorry. I didnât mean anything I said on the phone and you certainly arenât clingy or bothering me, ever. You never call when Iâm at the studio, but the one time you did when you needed me, I took my stress out on you which wasnât right.â Shawn explained tenderly, rubbing his thumb over the top of your hand and pouring his emotions into each word.
âIâm sorry if you think Iâm clingy. I just, itâs hard sometimes not to miss you even when youâre so close and I hate calling you at the studio, but I-I needed you.â Y/N admitted as tears began pooling in her beautiful eyes, threatening to spill down her cheeks.
Shawn couldnât take it anymore and pulled her in close for a tight, warm hug. She nuzzled her head in the crook of his neck as he soothingly rang his fingers through your hair.
âI donât think youâre clingy at all, baby. If anything, Iâm the clingy one. But I really love that youâre always with me and your kisses, hugs, cuddles and everything else make my days so much better. I donât know what I would do without you, truly. I was so overwhelmed when you called earlier and I shouldnât have said what I did because itâs not true.â Shawn rambled, feeling the emotions bubble up in his chest.
âI love you so much. More than youâll ever know. And I canât ever say it enough. Iâm sorry for making you upset, I promise it wonât happen again.â His voice was full of adoration as he apologized while confessing his love for the girl that stole his heart.
âI love you too, bubs.â You murmur in reply and Shawn squeezed you a little bit closer. The familiar feeling of home and safety enveloped you in his embrace and love filled your heart.
âAre we okay?â Shawn tentatively questioned, wanting to make sure everything was alright. And when you nodded against his chest, a smile bloomed on his lips before he pressed a sweet kiss to the top of your head, happy to have you in his life.
