-Whenever I’m Not Here- Theodore Nott x Gn!reader

(Short Story)

~☼~

Kody: my first request in so long and it’s full of compliments. Also i re did this twice because i’m an actual psychopath

Fandom: Harry Potter

Pronouns Used: They/Them

Possible Triggers/Warnings: cursing, stress on reader, mentions of food and descriptions of eating, reader nail bites not described only mentioned,

Request: Hi! I saw your requests were open and after reading some of your one shots I just had to make one! Could you maybe write a Theodore Nott x Female!reader (or GN!reader whatever you feel like) where the readers had a stressful day and it’s basically just a lot of fluff and cuddling? If not that’s totally fine, no pressure or anything! Your a great writer and I can’t wait to read more of your content! <3

~☼~

feeling defeated, you slowly open the door to your dorm, dropping your bag while trudging slowly to your bed. The day you had was the absolute worst. It was like the universe was out to get you. The whole day was stressful from annoying people in class and surprise exams.

you were just about done for the day

falling face first into your bed, you lift your hand, noticing how each of your nails were bitten off to the nub. You don’t even remember doing that. Your nails were so long too, you were trying to beat Pansy on who had the longest nails all month, guess she won.

dinner was going to be soon, but you had a mountain of homework to get started on, with only the night to do it. With a frown, you push off of your bed, standing up. You walk around the bed, to the other wide were the wardrobe was.

(side note, just watched all the Narnia’s and i’m still in love with these movies)

beginning to undress yourself, a thought comes to your head. If you skipped dinner, your friends would notice. Theo would definitely notice, he was your boyfriend after all. It had been a bitch trying to keep a smile for him all day. Theo could read you like a book, so you hoped you had fooled him enough.

it’s not that you were trying to avoid him, you just knew that he would push you to go to sleep and take care of yourself instead of worrying about your school work. As much as you loved the fact that Theo worried about you, you just really couldn’t afford the bad grade.

once you were in more comfortable clothes, you make your way over to your desk, picking up your bag along the way as that had all your things. Dumping the contents of the bag onto your desk, you begin to arrange them into neat stacks and piles, just so you knew where everything was.

when finished, you took a seat on the chair. Oh you would definitely have back problems after this, you could just sense it. Whatever, you could complain about it later. Picking up your quill, you flip open the ink jar that usually sat on your desk and dipped the quill in a few times.

wow, your eyes are starting to sting.

~☼~

“Just open the door, you knocked three times. They’re probably sleeping“ Pansy spoke, pushing Theo aside, who looked as if he wanted to hit his best friend, but with the plate of food and cup preoccupying his hands, he couldn’t. He did have feet though...

Pansy turns the knob, opening the door slowly as she peaks her head in. Once she spots you, she opens it wide “Told you” Theo raises a brow and steps in the room, spotting his partner asleep at your desk, head laying on the hard textbook that was sure to leave a mark or give you a bruise.

“I was hoping they’d be in bed, i hate when they stress over work“Theo mumbles, placing the food and drink down on an empty spot of your work desk. When you hadn’t showed up for dinner, he didn’t find it odd in the slightest. Just assumed you went to bed early and he would bring you food.

guess not

“Y/n always stresses about school work“ Pansy leans over, looking at the stack of parchment “Seem’s like they fell asleep doing potions homework“ she grabs the top of the parchment, carefully pulling it from under your arm. Pansy freezes in places as you begin to shift in your sleep.

“Shh shh go to sleep“ Pansy cooed, gently patting your head with her palm. “That’s not going to work” Theo scoffs, crouching down, getting ready to soothe you back to sleep when you start snoring softly again. He can practically feel Pansy’s smirk.

“Told you-“

“Shut up“

“Whatever, i’m taking this with me. I’ll give it back to Y/n in the morning. Have a good night“ Pansy waves before lifting her hand to press a kiss to three of her fingers then tapping your head gently with them. She opens the door, slowly walking out and shutting the door.

Theo had a warm smile on his face. Now he could wake you up with peace of mind that your work was getting done by one of your best friends. Placing a hand on your shoulder, he gently ushers you awake. You blink a few times, forgetting where you were until you spot the picture frame that hung on the wall.

it was of all your friends, having a sleepover in your dorm.

“Theo?“ mumbling, you sit up, your arm aching from being laid on for hours. It couldn’t be- did you fall asleep n your desk- wait, desk. Work. Potion Homework! Forgetting the ache, you shuffle through the stcak of parchment, feeling panic rise in your chest.

“Whoa whoa, calm down darling. If it’s your potions work you’re looking for, Pansy is finishing it for you and i will not fight you on this so you should just accept it“ Theo’s dark eyes looked into yours and as much as you wanted to fight him on this, you just couldn’t

so you gave in “Fine fine, i’ll just study for the ancient runes exam” moving textbooks around, you grasp the right textbook and pull it forwards, placing it in front of you. You flip open the page, only for the book to be slammed shut by Theo.

he stood in front of you, his stature would have came off as intimidating to anyone with the aggressive stare he always held, but by being with him with so long you could tell when he was being compassionate. “Eat then sleep, don’t make me hide your textbooks”

yes that has actually happened before

“Is there anything i can do or say to sway your decision?“ bargaining worked sometimes, but deep down you wanted him to stop you. Today had already been so stressful and studying would have only made it worse. His face scrunches up, shaking his head “Nah, now eat“

welp

Theo leans a bit to the left and grasps the side of the wooden tray, pulling it in front of you. The smell hit you instantly, making your stomach growl with anticipation. Yeah, you were definitely hungry. Grabbing the fork off to the side, you began to dig into your food.

Theo hums, pushing off your desk and begins to walk around your room, stopping at your wardrobe. Your wardrobe had a single drawer on it where Theo kept a spare set of clothes for when he slept over. Wiping your mouth, you swallow “you don’t have to stay over”

“You’re right, i don’t. I want to because i know your stressed out, even if you don’t want to admit it“

it was almost creepy how well he knew you. You had finished up your food just as Theo comes back over, clothes changed and holding a pair for you as well. “I can’t go to bed yet Theo, i have so much to do plus-” your boyfriend crouches down in front of you, his dark wavy hair falling a bit over his eye.

“Darling, you were falling apart all day. I could tell, but i could also tell you were trying to hide it from me. Yes school work is important, but your mental health matters more to me, so please, let’s just lay down okay?” and there it was, That worried look you had been trying to avoid all day.

you frown, feeling guilty for having put pressure on Theo “Hey, don’t be sad. Your frown isn’t something i like to see. Now c’mon” he stands up, holding his hand out for you to take and you do, pushing off the chair. Theo leads you to your bed, letting go of you momentarily.

climbing onto the bed, Theo pulls the blanket back, allowing you to slip under. Once your comfortable, he does the same. The slight ache that was in your back from the uncomfortable stiff position you fell asleep in was already melting away as well as a few sore joints.

stress really did a lot to your body.

Theo grabs your arm, shuffling you closer to him, which made you laugh a bit at the fact he just grabbed you so effortlessly “That laugh, i missed that today” his eyes were full of love an adoration, he was admiring you, even in your less then flattering state.

it made your heart flutter, a saying you didn’t quite get when other people said it, but when you met Theo you completely understood. “Next time you feel stressed, tell me right away so i can help, okay?” he asked, his eyes soaking in your sleepy expression.

“I know, i will. It usually happens out of nowhere“ each corner of your lips threatened to turn down in a frown. Theo shuffles a bit, reaching down to pull something off his other hand, a ring. A simple silver band he had worn since you both got together. It was his favorite piece of jewelry.

“Where this“

“What? Why?“ Theo turns the ring at an angle so you could see the inside, where your first initial and his were stamped neatly with a small heart in between. All this time, you didn’t even know it was there or that he had got the piece customized in the first place.

“I- I can’t take this Theo“ you push his hand away, but Theo stops you, placing the ring in the palm of your hand anyway “Yes you can and you will. Whenever i’m not there you can look at the ring. It’ll remind you that i love you and everything will be okay“

tears were threatening to spill from your eyes, but you quickly blink them away “Thank you, i’ll put it on a necklace tomorrow” you promise, turning around briefly to place the ring on your nightstand. “Good, now get over here” Theo, with your help this time, pulls you flush against him.

he lays on his side as you turn around, pressing your back against his chest. Theo dips his head into your neck and presses a few quick kisses to your neck, squeezing you softly. “I love you Y/n” he whispers into the silent room. Your smile is bright as a yawn falls from his lips.

“I love you too“ you reply, Theo humming in response. He pulls the blanket so it covers your shoulders, feeling his body relax against yours. You doth the same, closing your eyes with peace of mind that even if tomorrow is like today, stressful that Theo would be there to help you through it.

Kody: I- I hate this so much. I re-did it three times and i still don’t think i did this lovely request justice so whoever sent this in, i am so sorry and wish i could have made it longer. Anyways, peace.
