⠀ he hummed, allowing himself to relax now, a tenseness in his shoulders falling. he had no doubt he would’ve spiraled if not for him, the kind that had his ears ringing and feeling like there was static on his skin. ⠀

⠀ he can’t help the slight giggle that leaves his lips, burying his face against his chest now. “ i know, but still i’ll keep that in mind too. ” his voice was quiet, but still there. “ same goes for you, if that wasn’t obvious. ” ⠀

⠀ he snorts, nodding after a moment, a slight red near his ears. “ i know, i was just teasing you. ” he tried to lean into him a bit. “ not that i’d be against it, let me clarify. ” ⠀

⠀ his nose wrinkles, though that didn’t stop a grin from curving on his lips. “ i mean, you said it first not me. ” another tease, eyes shining a bit. ⠀

⠀ he was about to argue this time, but he knew he was right, eyes flicking over to him then. “ how do you expect to destress me if i do .ᐣ ” it was clear he was lightly teasing, that didn’t seem to change. ⠀

⠀ he felt a little more relaxed already, a small sigh leaving his lips again. “ i mean, nothing really in particular. ” “ i think i just get stressed easy. after so much work my mind gets clogged and my body gets tense. ” ⠀

⠀ lips curl upwards the slightest from the affection, pulling his leg up and resting his arm upon his knee. “ coffee, if we have it. ” ⠀

⠀ looking at his hand a moment, before handing over the kettle. he wouldn’t argue if he insisted, moving to sit down on the ground. ⠀

⠀ “ i’m fine, just stressed out. ” an exhale, moving to pick up the kettle he’d dropped. ⠀

⠀ “ that is very true, just as long as you work for it, it’ll be possible. ” he can only imagine what he was dealing with right now, but regardless he offered help when able. ⠀

⠀ pulling himself out of bed, nose wrinkling. yeah, definitely time for a bath. ⠀

⠀ humming a random tavern song to himself. ⠀

⠀ a bit hesitant, his other hand would soon slip up into white tufts, lips parting easily as the kiss deepened. his body would move the slightest bit closer, all while trying to maintain at least a little distance. ⠀
