Garfield knew he was sometimes an overbearing flirter with you. But you were his girlfriend! Of course he was going to back hug you every moment he could. Kiss your neck, call you nicknames like: 'Babe, Mama, Honey' etcetera. Mama being a favourite of his.
But he knew there were times he couldn't be his usual flirtatious self. Like right now. You failed on a mission. Or in the words of Dick, Nightwing, you 'Majorly fucked up.'
Garfield had never held you so tight as you sobbed so hard you fell into a very deep sleep. He held back his anger at Dick. People make mistakes all the time, he was there. You tried your best out there, even he was scared of the situation. Fear, makes people do the worst things out of their control.
"Hey Mama, how are we doing today?" He had walked into their shared room of the HQ. Seeing you wrapped up in bed, pajamas still on and your exhausted look only brought him heart ache.
"...Did he yell at you again? 'Cause I swear to everything above I'll turn into a fucking bear and maul him." He sat on the edge of the bed next to you, his hand going to your back to gently rub it.
