A/N: I love greek mythology and this idea popped into my head so here is a drabble about our favorite softboy!
Wilbur sat at his desk in L'Manburg, staring at the clock. He had been waiting for the day to all be over for hours. The day had been filled with stress and problem after problem.
The only thought keeping him sane was knowing he'd be in your arms.
Serenity was rare for him these days, and you gave him that luxury. Although it's cliche, it felt like his grievances dispel the second he feels your touch. You were the bright light at the end of the tunnel, always there and welcoming his embrace.
The moment he walked through the door of your shared house, he was greeted by the the siren's voice, gladly willing to give into their sweet song. "Hey, Will! It's really late, are you okay?"
And despite his exhaustion he smiled and pulled his lover close, "I will be, Y/n..."
You both laid on the couch, simply holding each other close. Wilbur's head was on your chest, intently listening to the sound of your heartbeat as if it was his lifeline, while Y/n laid a comforting hand on his back.
After several minutes of near silence, the brunette spoke up. "I feel like I'm carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders. If I make a misstep I'll ruin everything we've worked so hard for. I can't lose that, I can't lose you."
Y/n could see the tears threatening to spill from his eyes and felt his breath shake when she cupped his face. Wilbur leaned into her touch, the affectionate act almost overwhelming.
"Let me be your Atlas, my love. Even for a little while," they smiled at him, "you should rest before you are hurt."
Wilbur lightly gripped their hand, pressing a delicate kiss to the inside of their wrist, before laying his head down to listen to the melody he loved most as he lulled to sleep.
