He held the gun in his hand with a grip that could break a rock. He was tense and his shoulders were squared, he stared at them with a sad look in his eyes.
"I'm so sorry."
Chips stared in their eyes and an ear piercing sounded out, they fell backwards onto the ground as he let out a cry. He dropped the gun and fell to the floor, he crawled over to the dead body and held it in his arms as he cried. He let out a wail as he held you in his arms, blood pooling your legs. Your eyes stared into the sky like a blank slate, the sun slowly set on the two of you as he cried. A voice made it to his ears and he bolted upwards panting. Trying to get air into his lungs as you spoke to him.
"Shh you're alright honey, just breathe in for 4 out for 5."
You exaggerated your breathing to get him to copy you, it slowly started working as he breathed in and out. He stared at you and a sob racked his body as he pulled you into a hug. You blinked in surprise, confused with the affection, Chips wasn't a very affectionate person. You hugged him, rubbing his back as you whispered sweet nothings to him. He was affectionate with you, you were in a relationship with him but he still wasn't the most affectionate person.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
Chips shook his head as his grip on you tightened, you chuckled and spoke again.
"Alrighty then, wanna cuddle up together and fall back asleep or go to the living room and watch some movies while I accidentally fall asleep again?"
You waited for his response, he was slowly turning into putty as you rubbed his back showering him with affection. He let out a huff of amusement.
"Second option works."
"Sweet, I would pick you up if I could Chips but I'm not that strong so you'll have to use your very manly muscles to carry us to the couch."
"Hmm."
Chips seemed to be in a better mood already, he sat up and was quick to pick you up and get off the bed. You smiled and leaned forward giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"Do realize I'm just going to fall asleep while you watch the movie."
"I'll be sure to pick a very boring one then~"
"Aww please I couldn't bear it if we watched How to Train your Dragon again!”
“You fucker you love that movie!”
“I do.”
He carried you to the living room and set you down on the couch, he grabbed some blankets and the remote before sitting down right next to you. You leaned into his side as he draped the blanket over you and him. Chips went through the movie selections and clicked on the movie ‘9’, you smiled as you curled up closer to him. You felt yourself drifting off already but that was fine, he let out a sigh as he watched you slowly drifting off to sleep. He placed a hand on your back and rubbed it as he got comfortable, you were fine and if you were fine he was fine.
“Can you promise me something?”
You blinked sleepily at that.
“Hmm?”
“Promise me that you won’t leave me.”
You tried blinking back the tiredness as he said that, you brought one hand to his face.
“Oh honey I’m not going to leave you, I’d never do that.”
“Please promise me.”
“I promise sweetheart, I won’t ever leave you.”
Chips smiled and kissed your forehead, you hummed and just as you were about to say something you laid your head down and fell asleep. Chips looked at you with heart filled eyes, he brought you closer to him as close as he could and cuddled up to you. His gaze turned back to the movie as he held you in his loving embrace.
