You Flinch

this was requested

Diego:
Diego tried to not fight with you. He knew you hated the loud noise and tried not to raise his voice at you. Today was particularly hard on him and he just completely lost it when he got home. When you showed up, he tried to keep his cool but unfortunately it didn't work.

"Diego? Do you want to talk?" You gently asked.

"You know what? No I don't! No one listens to me, no one cares about what I have to say!" He snapped.

You gulped, "That's not tru-"

"Yes it is!" He yelled.

You flinched at the sound of his voice. His face immediately softened.

"I-I'm sorry.." You mumbled.

"Oh no baby I'm sorry! I didn't mean to raise my voice at you." He quickly apologized, pulling you into his arms.

"It's okay.." You whispered.

He kissed your forehead and cupped your face.

"I sowwy baby. Would you like a cwuddle? I give you them."

Luther:
Luther was careful not to lose his cool around you. When he got mad it was hard to calm him down and he knew that. Which is why he kept his distance from you when he was mad. He didn't want to scare you. Today he failed in doing so.

"Honey? Are you okay?" You asked, putting a hand on his shoulder.

"No, I'm not. Go away. I don't want to talk." He shrugged you off.

"Do you want to ta-"

"No! What part of go away do you not understand?" He bellowed.

You jumped, "I-I'm sorry.."

He took a deep breath, already looking guilty.

"I'm sorry, babe." He pulled you into a hug.

"I should've left you be.."

He shook his head and kissed the top of your head.

"No I like you being here. I feel less upset with you in my arms."

Five:
Five was an asshole, no doubt about it. He tried to keep his composure for you, but it was hard. You'd never seen him so angry before. He tried not to show that side of him, but it was difficult for him today.

"Fivey? Are you okay?" You asked him.

"Go away, Y/N. I'm not in the mood." Five grumbled.

"I'm just wor-"

"What part of I'm not in the mood escapes your understanding!?" He yelled.

You jumped, "I-I'll just go.."

He ran a hand through his hair and grabbed your wrist gently.

"I'm sorry.." He apologized, pulling you into his embrace.

"I'm sorry..." You mumbled.

He kissed your forehead and brushed the hair out of your face.

"Darling don't apologize. Let's go get some ice cream, yeah?"

Ben:
Ben was very mellow and never lost his cool. He always found a way to center himself and not yell when he was upset. Today, however, he just couldn't take it. Unfortunately, for the first time he took it out on you.

"Benny? Are you ready to talk?" You gently asked him.

"No. Please go away, Y/N." He growled.

"I just want to he-"

"You can't help! Now leave!" He yelled.

You flinched, "I-Okay.."

He blinked a few times before his eyes filled with tears.

"Oh no baby I'm sorry!" He immediately hugged you.

"I-I'm sorry." You mumbled.

He kissed you all around your face.

"No sweetie I'm sorry. Let's have a cuddle party and eat junk food."

Klaus:
Sobriety was never easy for any recovering addict, you knew this. Klaus has been clean for a little over a year now and you were so proud of him. He had his days and unfortuantely today was a bad day for him.

"Klaus? Would you like some tea?" You asked him.

"No. I don't want anything." He snapped.

"Are you su-"

"What part of no do you not get!?" He yelled.

You jumped, "O-Oh..Sorry.."

He sighed before pulling you into his arms.

"I'm sorry, dear." He mumbled into your neck.

"It's okay.." You whispered.

"You didn't deserve that. Thank you for being here for me."
