Discord drabbles - angsty/fluffy drider boyfriend x reader (sfw) (Patreon)

Prompt was " how about a drider bf where his partner finds him crying because he feels like his partner can do better angst/fluff". And now I think I would honestly die for this adorable lil fluffball of feelings and insecurities...

You’d thought about surprising him any number of times, but work was just chaotic. Finally though, you managed to leave early, and you let yourself into his cosy little apartment without making too much noise. You slid your shoes off, and stepped into the hallway which led to the sitting room, and drew to a dead halt. There, curled up on the floor in a miserable ball beside the window, was your beautiful boyfriend. 

“Hey,” you whispered and he startled, front legs drawing up instinctively in defence until he realised who it was. “Hey, what’s wrong? What happened?” you asked as you hurried down the corridor towards him. 

“Oh…” he sniffed, wiping at the tears staining his stunning face. “Oh, it’s… it’s nothing. What are you doing here? I thought you weren’t coming over til tomorrow?”

“I wanted to surprise you,” you said. “Seems like I did, and not in a good way…”

Standing, you were the same height as him. His orange and black tarantula’s body was unbelievably soft and fuzzy, his limbs thick and gentle, and his torso was short and stocky, with his black hair streaked with crimson. His eyes were a rich, blood red and his skin a dark, smoky grey. He was astonishingly beautiful, and the gentlest soul you’d ever met. You closed the distance between you wrapped your arms around his torso, hugging him close and inhaling the soft scent of the hoodie he was wearing, and felt him shiver all over. 

“What happened?” you asked again, drawing back to get a better look at his face. 

His lip wobbled dangerously but he didn’t start crying again. He wiped his nose on the back of his sleeve. “Nothing happened,” he croaked. 

“Ok, but you can talk to me you know? That’s what partners are for…”

“You could do so much better than me,” he muttered, trying to stand up, pushing himself away from you. 

Your heart lurched in your chest. “What? Wait, no, don’t say things like that and then walk away. Please…? I love you… I love you so much…”

He bit his lip, his black and red hair falling forwards into his eyes as he turned silently to look at you. “Why?” he whispered. “Look at me… I’m… this… and you’re… you’re amazing…”

“I’m yours,” you said, “And whatever I am, I wouldn’t be anything without you. You’re clever and funny and unfathomably kind… I’d be lost without you. C’mere…” and you drew him down into a passionate kiss that left him breathless and giggling bashfully. “See? Now, you want to see what I brought with me?”

“Is it ramen?” he asked hopefully. 

“You got it. Only the best for the bestest boyfriend in the entire universe…”

He grinned and mumbled, “Thanks. I’m sorry.”

“Don’t apologise for your feelings,” you said. “Just… know that you mean the world to me.”

And with that, he hugged you round the waist and hoisted you into the air for extra emphasis.
