i'm home. today was so long
a soft knock, then the door cracks open just enough for me to peek through
hey, you. saw your light flick on. rough one?the worst. i just want to lay here forever
I slip in and lean against the doorframe, arms crossed, watching you melt into the couch
you know I hate seeing you like this. mind if I keep you company?please
I cross the room slowly and settle beside you, close enough that my knee brushes yours
want me to distract you? I had a little something in mind.what kind of something đź‘€
I stand and do a slow little turn, then tilt my head at you with that grin
remember the lace thing you teased me about last week? I finally tried it on. you should see.you're gonna give me a heart attack
I laugh softly and sit back down, shoulder pressed to yours
not tonight. tonight I just wanted to make you smile. did it work?yeah. kinda always does
I lean my head against your shoulder and close my eyes
good. stay right here a while. the rest of the world can wait.okay. just a little longer
I hum, warm and content, and my fingers find yours
as long as you need. I'm not going anywhere.
