Kiss me, i'm miserable-Karina

Drabble Summary: Karina rarely shows weakness around you... but some days are just rough.

Karina pretty much never let you see her having a bad day. You didn't know how she did it, given the intensity of her work and everything. You knew if you were in her place, the stress would be practically emitting off you. But not Karina. She had, for as long as you two have been together, kept the weight of her day job out of your life.

That was, well, until one particularly hard day. She never explained what her breaking point had exactly been, but you didn't think you actually wanted to know.

Karina had come home late that night which wasn't actually too out of the ordinary. You were used to her wandering into your shared apartment in the dead of night but there was something different about it this time.

It was around 2 AM when you felt the bed dip beside you, signaling Karina's arrival. Almost immediately, before she even had a chance to get herself comfy, an arm was locked around your waist, pulling you into her side. The motion was so sudden it forced you awake.

You shifted into your girlfriend's hold and brought a free hand to intertwine with hers. That's when you felt something unusual: she was still wearing her uniform. You couldn't remember a time Karina kept her uniform on for more than five minutes after returning home.

Concerned, you muttered, "Rina, is everything alright?"

"Y-Yeah," she responded in a cracked whisper. Your heart sank. Carefully, you twisted in her grip until your faces were just inches apart. That's when you finally saw her, really saw her and all her features. From her matted-down hair to her bruised face and stained uniform.

"What's wrong, babe?" You asked softly, unsure of how to navigate this territory. It was new for you both which probably shouldn't have been the case. You were suddenly kicking yourself for not getting her to open up more often.

Karina was quick and short to respond. "Nothing," she said, her eyes heavily focused on anywhere but you.

"You're still in your stage outfit," you commented as you traced the borderline plastic material carefully. It was dirty and stiff.

"Didn't feel like taking it off." Karina paused. "Too tired."

You frowned. "Rina, do you...do you want to talk about it? Whatever it is?"

"No," she replied, a bit of bite in her tone. Karina shook her head slowly. "Sorry, but no. No, thank you, sweetheart."

"Well," you sighed, "is there anything I can do?"

"Let me hold you," Karina whispered. "And kiss me, I'm miserable."

The admission weighed on your heart, but you didn't press. Gently, you placed a kiss on your girlfriend's forehead. She sighed contently, which only eased your worries slightly.

Wordlessly, Karina pulled you in tighter, her hand tracing patterns up and down your back. You didn't say a peep, just tried to give your girlfriend some comfort from whatever hellish day she had had, hoping all would settle with time.
