• if i'm being real, it would take a lot for this man to be tired out after a day of work. i do not doubt that he has plenty of stamina and patience to deal with anything
• but, of course, there'll always be a day that burns out everyone. this day happened to hit tetcho hard. a group of criminals was hiding amongst the crowd of civilians— plenty of innocents got caught in the crossfire, and the hunting dogs were the ones that had to deal with the clean up
• yes, he and the others were able to save most the civilians and complete the mission, but it doesn't change the fact that the men, women, and children he fought to save were either left terrified or dead
• tetcho comes back home (you) in the early morning. he found you laying on the couch asleep. it was safe to assume that you were waiting for him
• he'll drape a blanket over your body before he goes to change out of his uniform. so when he comes back to lay next to you on the couch, he'll be surprised to see you not there
• instead, he can find you in the kitchen taking out a cold bottle of water. with one glance at him, you could tell that today's events truly hit hard
"you're up," the hunting dog looked at you with relief flooding through his eyes. "did i wake you?"
with quiet steps, tetcho joined you in the kitchen. his hands gently find their way to your face, and you can only look at him softly as he stares into your eyes. eye contact— it was his way of checking if you were okay or not.
"don't mind me, love. how about you? i heard about what happened on the news," you frowned.
with such an incident, it was impossible for it not to be covered on the news and multiple papers. even on social media, you saw that there were some people blaming the hunting dogs for being unable to protect everyone. yes, their bodies and abilities were amazing, but they were still human too.
and as humans, they won't always be able to save everyone all the time.
"here," you handed him the water bottle, "drink some and then you can tell me about it from your point of view."
• tetcho explains how the day went in the comfort of your shared bedroom. you're sitting across from each other, your hands soothingly holding his, as he talks
• once he finishes and you've heard the complete story, you're lovingly holding each other. his right hand held the back of your head and the other was wrapped around your waist as both of your arms were simply wrapped around his torso
• your proximity from each other was his reassurance that you weren't one of the people in a body bag
• tetcho doesn't find himself hungry when you ask if he is, so he's prepared to just lay in bed with you for the night (or morning)
• his arms hold you close to his body as he tries to sleep. you make sure to gently play with his hair so he can fall asleep first :)
"goodnight," you kiss him on his forehead like he always does to you, "my love."
• you make sure that you can spend the day together as soon as possible, and that's hopefully the next day
• tetcho appreciates anything you do in order to ease his body. setting up a bath for him to cooking a meal— he appreciates it all
