It been quite a few hours since then, it's 10:30 and he's still not back.

He hasn't even replied to my messages.

Don't get me wrong I've had fun with Teucer, so far we've watched 3 movies and played lots of games.

Of course he ate in between.

I would have had even more fun if I didn't constantly have the work I have to complete lingering in my thoughts.

Currently I was sat on the couch, the lights dim, with Teucer snuggled up on my lap engulfed in a medium sized blanket.

He has been sleeping for about 40 min so I've had plenty of time to sit here and stress about what I have to do.

As I carried on spiralling in my miserable thoughts I heard the door open, then close.

I already know who it is, so I stay seated waiting for him to enter the living room.

I look over my shoulder to face the door when I heard footsteps nearing the entrance.

A tall figure enters the room, I look at him and give a small welcoming smile, which is returned with a nod.

I turn back to face frontwards, as he walks over and sits next to me on the sofa.

He breathed out heavily, still not saying anything.

But I needed to go so I decided to start the conversation.

"U-um sir, I have quite a lot of work to do. So if it's possible, could I leave-" I didn't get to finish because he spoke over me.

"I need you here for a little while longer, then you can be on your way" he said as he looked over at me holding sleeping Teucer.

I just nod in defeat, I already know no amount of reasoning is going to let me leave earlier, it would only disturb Teucer.

I haven't even eaten since I got off my shift, because I haven't had a chance to grab some food.

Not that Mr childe doesn't have food in his house, I just couldn't bring myself to eat it.

I look to my side due to the dragged out silence and I see that he has his arms extended on the edge of the couch and his head is thrown back whilst he leans slightly forward.

He looked exhausted, I honestly felt kind of bad. I mean he already has a lot on his plate without Teucer.

I just sat there and continued to stare, without actually realising that I was staring for too long.

I saw him lift his head and look at me, with no feeling, he just raised his eyes brows slightly.

"Is something the matter?" He coaxed.

I just shook my head and turned away facing forward again.

As I did that I felt the weight of the sofa shift, from my peripheral vision I could see him get up from the sofa.

I then avert my eyes to follow his movements, seeing him walk out of the room.

"Have you had anything to eat?" He asks as he reaches the kitchen.

"No, but I'm planning to get something when I leave" I replied whilst looking down at Teucer.

"I'm about to make some dinner, I'm quite Hungry myself. Just eat here" he said, which sounded more like an order than an invite.

"No it's really no trouble-" but I didn't get to finish.

"Y/n, I particularly dislike people who persist, I've said it once stop being difficult and stay" he coaxed.
