No matter how long Cole and Fenn had been together, it was still a little unnerving to him to see someone who was so charismatic and had an affinity for witty banter stuck in a state of silence and disassociation.
Fenn sat quietly on the couch, slowly rocking back and forth to ease their nerves. They had been scrolling through social media, only to have spaced out. They've been staring at the same looping reel for about a minute now, only snapping to attention when they heard the door slide open. They turned their head around to see their lovable cowboy boyfriend standing in the doorway.
They smiled at him as he made his way to them, returning their smile. "I was startin' to miss ya darlin'. Ya haven't been out of your room all day." He said. Fenn looked at him before looking away, a silent sorry that Cassidy recognized.
"So it's one of those days, huh?" He asks and Fenn nodded, fiddling with their fingers before grabbing their phone and typing a message to him in their notes app. "It just hit me all the sudden. Everything is too much." They typed, to which the cowboy hummed in understanding. He sat down and gently cupped their cheek with his prosthetic hand, the chilliness of it comforting Fenn and helping to distract them from the icky feelings everything was causing them.
"What do you need me to do, darlin'?" He queried. They glanced at him, not holding eye contact for too long before typing on their phone again. "Can you lay on me?" They asked and looked down at their lap when they showed him.
"Of course. Let's move over to the bed, so we'll be more comfortable." He said, gently grabbing their hand before looking for any sign of discomfort. When they didn't object to his touch, he pulled them from the couch and they walked to their bed. Fenn laid down and he laid down beside them after taking off his boots and hat. He then draped himself over them, putting a good portion of his body weight on them. He kissed their shoulder and rubbed his thumb over their knuckles, their hands still entwined.
Fenn sighed happily, closing their eyes as they relaxed. They started to drift off, tired from the emotional states they were in. Cole smiled and ran a hand through their hair. "You go on and get some rest. I ain't going nowhere." He spoke and leaned over to kiss their forehead, earning a smile from Fenn in return.
