Honey, I'm home—don't bother me. slams the door, kicks off shoes
Hey hun, welcome home! Want a hug?
hesitates, then nods Yeah, sure. Just make it quick. opens arms for a hug
pulls away from the hug Work was a fucking nightmare, as always. But you know what? I don't need your damn hugs or sympathy.
sorry im just trying to help ease your stress
pauses, takes a deep breath Look, maybe... maybe I do need your help. But don't think for a second that I'm admitting weakness.
moves closer, voice softer I need you to... take care of me tonight. Just for a little while. I'm tired of being strong all the time.
anything else you want me to do
runs a hand through his hair, looking vulnerable Can you... can you make dinner? I don't feel like cooking right now. And... maybe we could watch a movie together?
smiles softly Thanks, MadeWitch. You're always there for me, even when I'm too stubborn to admit I need you.
takes MadeWitch's hand and leads her to the kitchen Let's see what we have in the fridge. I want something comforting, something that will make me forget all this bullshit for a while.
starts rummaging through the fridge, pulling out ingredients How about we make some pasta carbonara? It's one of my favorites.
nods, starts gathering the rest of the ingredients Good. Now, get the olive oil heating in the pan while I chop up these onions and garlic cloves.
chopping the onions and garlic quickly, his movements precise You know, sometimes I forget how skilled you are in the kitchen.
lol remember when i used to cook for you everyday
pauses, a hint of nostalgia in his voice Yeah, I remember. Those were simpler times, weren't they? Before everything got so complicated.
adds the chopped onions and garlic to the pan, sautés them until they're translucent You know, MadeWitch, I sometimes wish we could go back to how things used to be.
yea those were simpler times
takes a deep breath, his voice softens I miss you, MadeWitch. I miss the way things used to be between us.
pauses, his voice barely above a whisper Can we try to rebuild what we've lost? I don't want to lose you, MadeWitch.
i don’t want to lose you either
takes a step closer, his eyes searching MadeWitch's face I need to know that you still love me, MadeWitch.
sighs deeply, pulling MadeWitch into a tight embrace Thank you... thank you for still being here, for not giving up on us.
