I have this theory that a relationship is kind of like a rocket, and you're trying to get it into space. And all you need is enough fuel to get you out of Earth's atmosphere, and then it will keep going, no matter what you throw at it, in the, in the direction it was launched.

Hey!! I saw dev in a movie a couple months ago and was completely shocked by how attractive dev is and I found your account a few weeks ago and I wanted to make a request if that’s okay
So like I read one of your preference works and I was thinking about like kinda angsty oneshot based of the Joshua madika part of the “how they fight” one were it’s angst in the beginning with the whole fight and all that and then more comfort/fluff towards the end? Thank you!!
Guilty As Sin? (Joshua Madika x f!reader)
A/N: You are struggling with internalized misogyny. Joshua's left to untangle your mean streak.
"I don't understand why we're fighting." That was a lie. Of course you know.
"How can you not understand?" Joshua snaps right back, whipping off the tie that had gotten too tight around his neck over the course of that evening.
"Joshua, she cheated on you!" You snapped, throwing your bag down and kicking off your heels. Tonight should have gone differently, you'd be on your way to the kitchen to get a snack for the two of you, but now you were going to get a snack for one person, you!
"Don't try to pretend this is about me." You hate how even his tone is, even from one room away.
"She had it coming!" No, she didn't. She didn't need you being cruel to her.
"No, she didn't!" Joshua, your Joshua, was right.
"She's not ugly, her dress was fine, and I used to love her!" The venom in Joshua's voice hits you right in the heart.
He used to love her. Why did that feel like a surprise?
"Oh. Okay." Every atom in your being falls, and you have to get away from him.
Joshua knows what he's said was a dagger he didn't even realize he'd pulled out.
"Wait, no wait, come back!" He chases you through the house, towards your shared room.
"I just try so hard! I try so hard to be the best girlfriend for you, and then she comes marching back, asking for help and you do it?"
"It's not what you're thinking!" He raises his hands in exasperation, heat rushing to his head.
You raise your pointer finger at him, "I'm thinking that I try so hard. I try so hard to be the best girlfriend for you, and you just don't even see it! You don't even care!"
"Of course I do! Don't you know I love you for that?"
A beat passes, you thank God for the break.
You start bawling first, and Joshua blinks, breathing heavily.
"I'm going to bed!" You shouted, turning on your heel, down the hallway to your shared bedroom and slamming the door behind you. Water won't stop coming down from your eyes, so you shower. You don't know how long you're in the shower for, but you don't come out until you're a prune.
Grabbing your pajamas you shiver, shuffling over to bed, exhausted. You flop down.
You pull your covers up to your neck, and fold in on yourself. Sleep doesn't come like you hope it would. Your eyes burn when you try to shut them.
Some time after, your partner comes in, the mattress bending under his weight.
"Can I hold you?" Joshua's voice comes from behind you. It's horribly mournful.
"Yes." You croak as he pulls you in.
