"Comfort Show"

Steven Grant x Reader

Summary: Steven has tocomfort you after your comfort show.

Warnings: *SPOILERS FOR THE LAST FEW EPISODES OF THIS IS US!!!* Dont read if you havn't seen the last 3 episodes but want to!!! Mentions of tv show character deaths. Crying but not actually sad, just sad over a show.

A/n: Inspired by the time I walked out of my room after an episode of This Is Us, bawling my eyes out to find my mommy is the living room, looking at me like :0 she asked if it was one of my shows or if something really happened. I said it was just a show and she let me explain the last 6 or however many seasons of this show lolololol

*****************

You heard the sound of the key turning in the apartment, and knew Steven would be in shortly and very distressed at your crying, but you couldn’t help yourself, you continued sobbing uncontrollably with hands over your eyes on the couch as the Hulu home screen advertised other options to quell you.

“Hello love!” A cheery Steven walked in the door, face undoubtedly falling as he took in your crying. “Oh dear, oh no, what is it now?” He said, setting the groceries down on the counter and he rushed to you, wrapped up in a blanket on the couch. “What’s happened?” Gently, Steven takes your hands to reveal your puffy red eyes and blotchy face, you’d been crying for a little while now.

You look at his worried face and feel a little foolish, and laugh a bit. “It’s not a big-” 

“No, no don’t do that, you don’t have to mitigate it”

You laugh again, you did have a tendency to act like huge things were no big deal, or invalidate your feelings; this was not one of those times. “No, no, baby it’s actually so stupid” But you keep crying. “I watched more of This is Us”

Visibly, Steven relaxed, letting go of your hand in favor of placing it over his heart, sighing in relief as sat back on the couch. “Oh god love, darling you startled me.”

You feel bad, going to embrace Steven as he gained his breath again. “I’m sorry Steven” You said sincerely, and when Steven looked at you, it was once again with concern.

“Sweetheart, you look terribly upset still, I thought you agreed not to watch it until one of us were here, you knew damn well this was going to happen!” Steven chastised, but there was no real malice in his voice. 

You sniffle, tears welling up again. “I thought she’d die in the last episode, I was going to wait for you to watch that, but they did it early!” You break down crying, Steven taking you into his arms.

“God, no wonder you’re a mess!” Steven didn’t watch the show avidly, but he’d sit in on episodes here and there, and listened intently as you explained things from your show.

You mumbled something into his chest he couldn’t hear. “What’s that, lovely?”

Lifting your head off his chest, you repeat yourself. “Miquel died before Rebecca, his heart condition” and there, you were, ugly sobbing again.

“Oh no, not Miguel.” Steven laments. Again, he didn’t watch the show as much as you, but Miguel was his favorite.

Steven continued to hold you as you cried, and lamented to you, “Why do you watch this show when all it does is make you cry?”

“It’s my comfort show…” you mutter.

Steven laughs a bit, pulling you off him and heading to the kitchen. “You don’t seem very comforted, darling.”

“I am… so happy right now.” You joke through tears.

“I’m sure you are. How about we go visit your grandma this weekend? I know This is Us always makes you emotional about her.”

Smiling at how well he knew you, you nodded. “That would be great, Steven.”

When Steven brought you some hot tea, just how you like it, “How about we watch we real comfort show to cheer you up. New Girl? Or Are you in a movie mood”

You consider for a moment. “Star Wars Episode thr-”

“No!” Steven bursts into a laugh. “You know damn well that one always makes you cry at the end!”

“I won’t cry! I promise! I just wanna see Anakin’s pretty face!”

Steven sighed. “Fine, if you promise you won’t cry.”

By the time ‘YOU WERE MY BROTHER ANAKIN’ played out of the screen, you were sobbing again, muttering how it didn’t have to be this way. Steven was holding you under his left arm, ordering pizza with his right hand. No more “Comfort” movies or shows tonight.
