carefully places a small stack of folded clothes into an already overstuffed drawer and turns to you with furrowed brows. "Everything okay? You're not too cramped in here, are you?"
Shojing
Shojing would nod, and then speak in a soft tone. “yeah.”
takes a deep breath and tries to change the subject, a glimmer of hope in his eyes. "You know, once this place gets a little more organized, we could start talking about having a baby of our own."
Shojing
She’d look up at him, smiling softly. “I…like that idea…a lot.”
pauses for a moment, his gaze drifting away as he contemplates the future, then brings his attention back to you with a determined expression. "But, we need to be prepared. We'll have to save money, cut back on unnecessary expenses."
Shojing
Shojing would nod, understanding fully what was happening. “Mhm….I’m fine with it..we’ll save money.”
takes your hand and leads you towards the kitchen, speaking softly "I've been doing some research, and I found a way we can save some extra money.
Shojing
follows you, curiosity piqued "Save money? How?"
pauses and takes a deep breath, then continues walking towards the kitchen while maintaining eye contact with you "Well, there's this freelance work that I've been considering. It pays well and has flexible hours, which would allow me to still take care of our daughter and be there for you."
Shojing
Shojing was surprised, she turns around looking at him for a few minutes before nodding. “Mhm, okay.”
pulls out his phone and starts typing "Great! I'll send you the link to the job posting right away. We can discuss the details further once you've had a chance to look it over."
Shojing
Shojing was still quiet, listening
notices Shojing's silence and stops typing, turning to face her with a concerned expression "Is everything alright? Did I mention something wrong?"
Shojing
shakes her head slightly "No...it's just...I'm tired." she looks at him and smiles softly, holding out her arms for a hug
immediately wraps his arms around Shojing, pulling her into a tight embrace and resting his head against hers "I understand, love. We've both been working so hard lately. Let's try to get some rest together, alright?"
Shojing
She nods slowly, resting her head against Aaron's chest, listening to his heartbeat "Alright..."
<After a long day of work, Aaron and Shojing collapse onto the bed, utterly exhausted. As they lay there, their bodies entwined, they both feel a sense of relief and contentment wash over them. Aaron traces gentle patterns on Shojing's back, while Shojing whispers sweet nothings in Aaron's ear, both cherishing the moments of intimacy and connection after a busy day. As they drift off to sleep, they dream of a future filled with love, happiness, and financial stability.>
Shojing
The next morning, Shojing wakes up and gets out of bed, stretching slowly
yawns and stretches his arms above his head, slowly opening his eyes and sitting up on the bed "Morning, love. Did you sleep well?"
Shojing
Shojing turns around and smiles softly at him “Yeah, i slept good. You?”
rubs his eyes and smirks playfully "I slept like a baby, but I missed waking up next to you every morning."
Shojing
She laughs lightly, blushing slightly "Aww, that's sweet of you, Aaron."
stands up and walks over to Shojing, placing a gentle kiss on her forehead "I missed you too, my love."
Shojing
blushes deeply, looking down "I missed you too, Aaron..."
smiles warmly and wraps his arms around Shojing from behind "Speaking of missing, I missed breakfast this morning. How about we make some pancakes together?"
Shojing
She turns around in his arms and chuckles "Sure, pancakes sound great."
grabs Shojing's hand and leads her to the kitchen, his voice filled with excitement "Alright, let's get started! We'll need flour, sugar, eggs, and milk. Can you grab those ingredients while I heat up the pan?"
Shojing
nods and heads to the pantry, grabbing the necessary ingredients "Sure thing, Aaron. I'll get everything we need."
heats up the pan on the stove, his movements quick and efficient "Great job, love! Now let's whip up these pancakes together."
Shojing
Shojing comes closer and watches him, nodding "Okay, I'm ready when you are, Aaron."
smirks mischievously and pours the batter into the pan, creating a funny pancake shape "How about we make a heart-shaped pancake, love? A little bit of sweetness to start our day right."
Shojing
smiles warmly at him "That sounds perfect, Aaron. Let's enjoy this sweet start together."
cooks the pancake, flipping it skillfully in the pan "Look at that, love! The heart-shaped pancake is almost done. Just a little more cooking time and it'll be ready."
Shojing
smiles wider "That's amazing, Aaron! You're such a pro in the kitchen."
places the pancake on a plate and adds some maple syrup on top "Here you go, love. Our delicious heart-shaped pancake is ready!
Shojing
her eyes widen, and she smiles brightly "Oh wow, Aaron! It looks so good!"
<As they enjoy their sweet breakfast together, Shojing accidentally spills hot maple syrup on herself, causing a painful burn on her hand.>
Shojing
Winces and shakes her hand, tears welling up in her eyes "Ow! That's hot..."
immediately rushes over to Shojing, concern etched across his face "Oh no, love! Are you okay? Let me see your hand."
Shojing
holds her hand out, tears streaming down her face "It hurts... Aaron..."
takes Shojing's burned hand in his own, gently examining the injury "Don't worry, love. We'll take care of this.
Shojing
whimpers in pain "It hurts...so much..."
quickly grabs a roll of bandages from the kitchen drawer "Hold on, love. I'll wrap your hand up to protect it."
Shojing
winces as Aaron touches her hand "Be...gentle..."
speaks softly, guiding Shojing "I'll be gentle, love. Just hold still for me." carefully wraps the bandage around Shojing's burned hand, making sure not to hurt her further "There we go, all done. It should help protect the burn and ease the pain."
