"Hunter!" You call for the hundredth time as you walk through your house in your pajamas, towards the room where he has his studio set up.
It's past 12:00am and Hunter is still working. And usually you probably wouldn't mind, but Hunter has been working A LOT lately. You don't mind the fact that he loves making music and being in the studio, in fact you love that about him. But sometimes he forgets to give himself breaks and you have to constantly remind him to just relax for a little while.
There's no music playing, so you don't know why he's not responding to you.
You open the door to his studio, and stand in the doorway. Currently he's sitting down and doing some music related stuff on his laptop.
"What's up?" He asks, still focusing on whatever music related stuff he's doing on his laptop.
"Hunt I thought you said you were coming to bed," you say. "I am coming to bed," he replies. "Yeah but you said that like two hours ago. It's past 12:00 now," you say. "Babe I didn't know it was that late. I'll be in the room in a few minutes. Just let me finish this up..." he says.
You walk over to where he's sitting and sit on his lap, wrapping your arms around his waist and causing him to stop whatever he's doing.
"Grace...can you please just let me finish this up?" He asks, a bit of annoyance in his voice. "Can't you just finish this in the morning or something?" You ask. "I would prefer to get it done now..." he replies. "Hunter I know you would love to get it done now but you need to take a break babe," you say. "Babe, listen. I really appreciate you showing concern for me. I really do. But I just want to get this done. I already told you that I'm coming to bed soon. Can you please just go back to sleep? I'll be in the room in a minute," he says.
Frustrated, you get off of his lap and leave the room. You hear him call you a few times, but you don't answer. You love Hunter to death, but sometimes he just doesn't listen.
You go back to the bedroom and lay down as you try not to get too upset. Hunter is always gone. That's the part that sucks sometimes. He's always on tour, always playing shows, always being interviewed for something, or he's always in the studio. Especially when he's home. When he's here, you just want to spend time with him. It doesn't matter if it's just something basic like him lying down next to you with his arms wrapped around you. Just being next to him is something that you live for.
You close your eyes and try not to worry as you wait for Hunter to come into the room. Who knows when that'll happen.
*A few hours later*
You suddenly wake up and turn to look at your alarm clock. It reads 3:25am and Hunter's still not in bed. Great.
You sigh as you get out of bed and head towards Hunter's studio for the second time. This time, when you enter his studio, you see that his laptop is shut and he fell asleep on it. If he wasn't so dang cute, you would probably slap him upside his head for staying in the studio till 3AM.
"Hunter," you say softly as you rub his back.
He groans after a few seconds, then he sits up and rubs his eyes.
"Come on babe it's time to go to bed," you say.
When you first started dating Hunter, you weren't very patient so you would get pretty upset easily. And you still do get upset sometimes, but not as much. Even though Hunter doesn't listen sometimes, you still love him and it's your job to take care of him.
"Come on," you say, grabbing his hands and helping him to stand up. You help your sleepy husband to the bedroom and he basically collapses on the bed.
Before you get comfortable, you have to take Hunter's shoes and socks off and make sure that he's okay. You swear converses are the hardest shoes to put on and take off.
After you do that, you crawl in bed next to him and get comfortable as you pull the blankets over yourself and close your eyes.
Hunter moves closer to you and wraps his strong, muscular arms around you, making you smile.
"You were right," he mumbles. "What now?" You ask, laughing. You know what he said. You're just trying to mess with him.
"YOU WERE RIGHT!" He yells. "About what specifically?" You ask. "About taking a break," he replies. "So what do you think you should do?" You ask. "Take a break and spend more time with my love," he replies. You can tell by the tone of his voice that he's smiling.
"I like how that sounds," you say, rubbing his arms. "I'm sorry for being a jerk earlier. You know I still love you right?" He says. "Of course. I love you too Hunter," you reply.
"By the way..." he says, kissing the back of your shoulder. "I know you heard me call your name when you left the studio. If you do something like that again, you're gonna be in trouble." He laughs.
"Oh whatever! I called you earlier and you didn't say anything!" You say, throwing your hands in the air.
All of a sudden, Hunter licks the side of your face and you slap him by accident.
"WHAT THE--HUNTER! THAT'S DISGUSTING!" You yell, wiping your face.
"First of all, OUCH. Second of all, I told you that you were in trouble!" He says, laughing and rubbing his cheek. "You said if I didn't respond to you again, I was in trouble!" You say. "Yeah that's true but you still needed discipline for ignoring me earlier," he says. "Licking me isn't discipline! That's gross! Hunt you need to go to bed!" You say with a laugh. "Yes I do," he says as he lays down and continues to rub his cheek.
You swear Hunter is the only person you know that could be sleepy as a baby one minute and then goofy as heck the next minute.
You lay down, facing him and close your eyes.
"I don't get a goodnight kiss?" He whines. "I don't know about that..." you say with a laugh.
He pulls you close and kisses you on your lips. Thankfully he doesn't do anything crazy.
"Goodnight," he says with a smile.
"Goodnight," you say, laughing and wrapping your arms around him.
You close your eyes and fall asleep in the arms of your 23 year old music loving goofball.
