A/N: craving husband!Shouta REALLLY bad lately and since I've been feeling shitty, here's a comfort piece!! Short and sweet. Hope you guys like it!

Shitty. The only word you could think of that could describe the day you just had. To start things off, you woke up with a sore throat, spilled your coffee all over your pants, got yelled at by multiple different customers, your coworker flaked on you- resulting in you going overtime, and you've eaten absolutely nothing today. It was already 10 p.m. Everything was hurting and you now finally accept the fact that you were coming down with something. Your head was pounding, your stomach was grumbling for something- anything to eat. But, you were so exhausted. You just wanted to lie down and fall asleep for three days. Maybe four.

"Darling?" You hear a gruff voice pull you from your mundane actions and you realize you've walked yourself into the kitchen. You look towards the source of the voice and see your sleepy husband standing at the end of the stairs as he rubs the side of his head. He's wearing sweats and a plain white shirt and you put it together that he was probably asleep.

"Did I wake you? I'm sorry, babe." You croak out as your throat practically screams out in pain from just talking. Shouta's tired eyes narrow at you as he watches you throw all your things on the kitchen table. You shuffle towards the fridge in search of juice or something to dull the ache in the back of your throat.

"Are you alright?" Shouta asks as he takes a few steps towards you; reaching his hand out to rub your shoulder.

"Hm?" You were only able to register the warm hand on your shoulder instead of the words he spoke, so when you turned your head to look at him, he was waiting for an answer. "Did you ask me something?"

"Okay, something is definitely wrong with you." He says as he spins you around fully to face him, the fridge door knocking against your bicep and eliciting a shiver through you. "Are you feeling okay?" He asks as he brings the back of his hand towards your forehead to check your temperature.

"No, I feel like shit." You answer honestly as you close your eyes. You don't even know why you felt like crying right now. You knew it would only make you, physically, feel worse and you'd hate to worry Shouta, but damn you wanted to just let everything out.

"Hey, hey. It's okay." Shouta's soothing voice cups your cheeks as you realize just thinking about crying made you cry. Awesome. "It's okay to feel like shit." He comforts easily as he brings your face to his chest; arms wrapping around your shoulders. Your arms felt like cinder blocks as they wrap around his torso, but you just wanted to feel as close to him as possible. He rubs your back as you finally just let the ugly sobs out and allow yourself to feel vulnerable.

"Do you want to talk about it?" He asks as he leans back so he can look at your face. He frowns as he sees how upset you are.

"No, too tired. J-just wanna sleep." You stutter out as you wipe your tears away. He leans forward and kisses the top of your head softly before squeezing you into another loving crush.

"Okay, darling. Have you eaten yet?" He asks and you sniffle before shaking your head no. "Go upstairs, take a shower, and lay down. I'll be up with food, water, and medicine." Shouta orders as he gently guides you towards the staircase.

"And we can cuddle?" You ask as you turn around to face him, your tears ceasing as you started to even out your breathing. Shouta let out an airy chuckle before leaning down to capture your lips in a quick and sweet kiss that has your lips tingling.

"You don't even have to ask, darling." He says before kissing your nose and taking a few steps back towards the kitchen. "Now, go and start unwinding. I'll be up there soon." Shouta says with a small smile.

"Love you." You say as you return his smile. You felt like crying again. Not from your shitty day, but from how loved you felt at this moment. From how much Shouta loved you and cared for you. You felt so lucky.

"Love you."
