Modern AU Annie x Reader [Long Days]

    You pushed open the door to your apartment, heaving out a heavy sigh. You toed off your shoes, tossing your keys and your bag on the counter. You rubbed your tired eyes, rolling your neck and shoulders to work out the kinks. Hands came down on your shoulders, gently guiding you toward the couch. You sat down obediently, allowing the appendages to rub your stiff muscles, relaxing and soothing them. You smiled faintly.

    "Thank you, Annie."

    "Of course." Was all she said before it went quiet again and she focused on you.

    You sighed, leaning into her firm, but gentle grasp. Annie was always there for you when you needed her, and she was always so understanding. You hated working long days, but Annie was always there for you when it was over.

    She finished up massaging you, standing up to bring you some warm tea. You accepted it with a grateful smile, and Annie brushed some hair from your forehead before kissing it gently. She left, and you sunk into the couch, cupping your tea with a grin.

    You loved Annie more than anything. Even if she didn't express it very often, you knew she loved you just as much.

    "Annie, thank you." You said when she wandered back into the room, changed into her pajamas. She just nodded, moving into the kitchen to prepare some food. You gulped down the rest of your tea, setting the cup aside and walking toward the bedroom to change into some more comfortable clothes.

    Once you felt comfy, you walked back out to settle into the couch. A few minutes later, Annie handed you some dinner, to which you thanked her with another smile. She nodded once more, but you saw her lips quirk up just a tiny bit.

    You both ate in silence, and the blonde girl took your plates once you finished dinner. You curled up against the arm of the couch, yawning tiredly. Your eyes drooped, and your exhaustion took over. You slowly dozed off, slipping into the land of dreams.

    When Annie came back in, she stopped at the sight of you asleep on the couch. She allowed herself a small smile, wrapping you in a plush blanket and carrying you into the bedroom. She laid you on the bed, smiling as you snuggled deeper into the comforter draped across you.

    "Goodnight, (Name)," She said softly, kissing your cheek. "I love you." And she walked out, closing the door quietly behind you.

    In your sleep, you smiled.
