A/N: hi! thanks for sending this in! i hope you enjoy and sorry if it hurts too much 😭

You knew that Druig wasn’t meaning to hurt you, he could never do that to you, but insecurities can be such a gripping thing. Despite being friends for over a year now, the romance between you two was just starting to bloom. So it both excited and terrified you when he introduced you to the other Eternals – his family.

It was at Sersi and Dane’s Christmas party when you met them. You could never quite forget the look of shock on all their faces when Druig introduced you and the barrage of questions they asked.

Not too long after the party started, Druig left your side. At first you didn’t mind, this was his family after all, one he hadn’t met up with in centuries. But as the night progressed and you nursed your third glass of wine, there was a crushing feeling in your chest as Druig conversed with the others. You had tried getting his attention, subtle tugs at his sleeve and passing him some food around the dining table but it was all for naught.

The thing about being one of the only two humans in the room is that it’s suffocating. You felt too much like an outsider looking in. Strained smiles were etched on your lips as the Eternals tried including you in their festivities. However, your attention was on the two people across the room.

Druig and Makkari sat across from each other as they talked, your limited knowledge of sign language making it hard to know what they were talking about. The both of them seemed to be having fun though, shared smiles and laughs emitted from their inside jokes and stories that spanned centuries.

It made you realize just how human you actually were. Just an ordinary person who’s only a blink of an eye in an Eternal’s lifespan.

“Hey, are you alright?” Dane suddenly came into your view, which was now blurry. Only now noticing the wetness on your cheeks, you quickly wiped your tears away and took a deep breath in.

“Yeah, I’m fine Dane.” You give him the closest thing to a genuine smile. “The party was amazing but I think I’m gonna go. It’s getting quite late anyway.” And with that, you excused yourself and left the house.

The bitter winter cold nipped at your face but that didn’t stop the warm tears from rolling on your face. Only the sound of your boots hitting the pavement echoed in the otherwise quiet neighborhood.

“Y/N!” His familiar voice yelled out on the street before he ran towards you. Quickly wiping your tears, you turned around and was greeted with Druig’s panic-stricken face.

“Hey, love, why’d you leave the party?” He asked, trying to enter your mind to figure out what’s wrong. He was shocked when he was met with a barrier in your mind, and it made him fear what he’d done wrong.

“‘S nothing, Druig. Just wasn’t in the mood for the party,” You mumbled, looking down on the ground and kicking some stray pebbles.

“There’s something more, please. Tell me what’s wrong.” Druig didn’t believe you and pulled your face up to look at him. Your red eyes met his and his heart broke a little more.

“It’s really nothing, I’m fine,” Quickly taking your head from his hold, you broke away from his stare.

“You’ve been crying, love. I don’t think that’s what ‘fine’ looks like.” That’s when you couldn’t take it anymore. All the pain, insecurity, and exasperation snowballing.

“What do you want me to say, Druig?!” You yelled, breaking away from his gentle hold. “That I was hurt when you left me alone the entire night? That you didn’t bother to look for me when I left your side for too long? That I felt insecure because I’m just an ordinary human when you can have someone so much more like Makkari?”

Tears streamed down your face once more, but you didn’t bother to wipe them away. Druig looked at you apologetically, now knowing how much he hurt you.

“My love, I’m so incredibly sorry for hurting you. But please know that there will be no one better for me than you.” He tucked away a stray hair and gave you a smile, asking for your forgiveness. Though he didn’t need to ask for it, you could never stay mad at him for too long. Still, insecurity is a persistent monster that didn’t want to stay down.

“How are you so sure?” You sniffled as Druig wiped away your tears. “I’m human, Dru. I’m just a blink in your lifetime.”

Druig knew of your insecurities about him being an Eternal and you a mortal, so he reassured you at every chance he got.

“That may be true, but in the thousands of years that I’ve been alive, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I love you, Y/N and it will always just be you.” Druig looked at you with so much love and adoration that you couldn’t help the sob escaping your lips as you pulled him close and hugged him tight. He placed a kiss on the crown of your head before continuing to pet your head.

As you stood there in one of London’s stone pavements, the bitter cold of winter never seemed to reach you in Druig’s arms.

“Let’s go home, my love.”
