EMMETT FORREST AND A READER WHO WORKED HERSELF OUT TO THE POINT OF PHYSICALLY PASSING OUT this just happened to me ☹️☹️
I'm so sorry that happened! Please remember to take a break once in a while, you always deserve it <3
Pairing: Emmett Forrest x GN! Reader
Summary: Having recently been hired at a new firm, your life has been pretty crazy for the last two weeks, until it all catches up to you. Luckily, your fiancé is there to force you to take a moment to relax and escape from the stress of it all.
Warnings: Reader faints, I'm not well versed in fainting/passing out so probably inaccurate, slight angst, FLUFF, no use of Y/N, lmk if I missed anything!
---------------------------------------------------
Despite being in a very good place in your life, at least in your opinion, you had always felt the need to do more. You supposed that's part of the reason you were so drawn to your now-fiancé in the first place. He had taught you how to pause and take a deep breath, even forcing you to do so at times. At least, he usually did.
The last two weeks had weighed heavily on you both. Emmett had recently been promoted to partner at his current law firm, and you had just been hired at yours. In the midst of all the chaos, neither of you had time to truly take a breath.
So, when you were working at your tiny desk in your shared bedroom and suddenly slumped over, Emmett was, naturally, suspicious.
"Babe? Everything alright," Emmett asked. When he didn't get a response from you, he moved over and nudged you gently, just enough to distinguish if you were prancing him or not.
You startled, suddenly awake. "What? Did something happen?"
"Yeah," your fiancé responded. "You just passed out."
You didn't respond for a moment, processing what you just heard before muttering a simple, "Oh," and turning to get back to your paperwork.
Emmett grabbed you by the wrist, oractically dragging you out of your chair and onto the bed. "Absolutley not. You literally just passed out from overworking yourself, you're not just going to go back to work. Stay there, I'll be right back," he stated simply, walking out of the room.
He returned a short time later, a cup of tea in each hand. He handed in to you and passed you the book you were in the middle of reading. "Here. Tonight, we just relax. It's been a stressful couple of weeks and we deserve it," Emmett said, sipping his tea.
"But-" you stammered. "This is important, It's a new job, with lots of room to grow, and I need to make a good impression!"
"Yes, and it can wait until tomorrow," Emmett said firmly, pulling you back as you tried to get back to your desk. "You can't do good work if you're so tired you pass out at your desk."
"Touché," you grumbled reluctantly, settling back into the bed and opening your book.
For the first time in what felt like decades, the two of you fell asleep together, holding each other as close as you could.

Not my best work, but pretty decent I suppose. Constructive criticism always welcome!!
