It's around 7:30 pm on a Friday night. You lay in bed scrolling on instagram, catching up with what all of your friends have been doing. As a notification pops up on your screen, you can't help but notice the time.
"Shota should be home by now." You think to yourself as you open up FaceTime to go and call him.

"Hey princess I know i'm late. I'm driving home right now."
"Oh okay what happened?"
"Work was pretty long. It really wore my body out. Also there's a bit of traffic."
"Aww i'm sorry. I can make you some tea when you get here."
"That sounds perfect baby. I'll look forward to that."
"Oh by the way I didn't cook so if you don't mind, please pick up something to eat."
"Of course. We're you thinking of anything specific?" He asks, still keeping his eyes on the road.

"No, not really. It's up to you."
"Alright. I'll be about 20 extra minutes though."
"Yeah I know. Sorry again. If I knew work would've been so stressful for you today, I would've had something cooked for when you got home."
"Hey, no need to beat yourself up over it. I'm completely fine just being with you tonight."
"Yeah but still-"
"No y/n. I said it's okay. I'm a hero, I'm used to working myself this hard."
"I guess...Well I can give you a massage when you get home."
"Hmm...Yeah, I like the sound of that. A massage from my sexy wife. Yes please." You giggle at the man's sudden mood change, and quietly watch him as he focuses on driving his car.

"Shota, I gotta go do something, but I'll see you when you get home okay?"
"Okay, I'll see you in a bit sweetheart. Love you."
"Love you too." You hang up the call and decide that your hardworking man deserves something more than just tea and a massage. Instead you decide to run him a nice hot bath with bubbles and Epsom salt to relax his body.

You also start to boil the water for his tea, since he'd probably still want it. You turn on the jets in the tub, and make sure that it's perfect for when he comes home. Awaiting his arrival, you see that it's been about 30 minutes, and know that he should be home any minute now. You undress yourself and slide into the tub. You hear the front door open and you know it's Shota coming in.

"Sweetheart?" He yells out from downstairs.
"I'm in the bathroom."
"Okay. I got our dinner." His footsteps become louder as he walks closer to the bathroom door. He lightly knocks on the cracked door.
"Come in." You say, watching him slowly peek through the bathroom door. His eyebrows raise as he sees you in the bath, and he fully walks into the bathroom, shutting the door behind him.

"What's going on here?" The man asks as a sly grin appears on his face.
"Just get in Shota." You utter nervously. The man slowly removes his shirt, holding eye contact with you and giving you butterflies. He chuckles as he notices you start to get more flustered as he continues removing his clothes without breaking eye contact.

"You know what...maybe I should turn around."
"If that's what you want then go right ahead sweetheart. It won't matter in the end though." You turn to face the wall as your husband removes the remainder of his clothes. The water splashes a bit as he steps into the tub with a sigh. He smiles at you as you both now stare into each other's eyes from opposite sides of the bath.

"Why're you so far away. Come here princess." He says as he pulls you by your waist to sit in between his legs, and lay against his chest. Shota looks down at you and gives you a kiss on your forehead as you both cuddle in the warm water.

"How was your day at work?" You quietly ask, look up into the eyes of your husband.
"Very long but I'm used to it."
"Didn't you say your body hurt though?"
"Yeah. Just a bit from combating villains."
"Hmm." You hum as you feel his arms for any tense spots. He looks down at you, smiling at your concern for his well-being.
