you’re dating bill. he struggles with his mental health, and would use alcohol as a coping mechanism. whenever things would get bad again, he’d come home drunk. but he wasn’t the scary abusive drunk, he’d be all giggly and clingy and act like a kid you’d have to take care of. then, as he starts to sober up, he’d get all emotional. it’s a weird cycle you’ve grown used to. today, it was late at night, and you woke up when you heard the front door close and some quiet giggles. whoops.
