Cranking out all these one shots today reminds me of when I first started my very first book. I really wish I didn't delete my stuff, in retrospect.

-Reader's P.O.V.-
I peeked out of the kitchen at Booker. He was slumped in the chair by the couch, in a deep sleep. I bit my lip as I looked down at the food I was making.
Dinner's almost ready, but Booker needs his sleep, I thought. He needs to eat, too.
I went over to him. I rested my hand against his cheek, beginning to softly caress the skin. I watched him lean sleepily into my touch.
He must be dreaming of me, I thought with a smile. A small smile curled his lips.
I leaned down to whisper into his ear whilst caressing his cheek, "Booker, honey. Rise and shine." I pulled back a bit to watch his eyes slowly open. I smiled. "That's it, Booker."
The smell of dinner stimulated his senses.
"Dinner's ready..?" he asked while rubbing his eyes.
I pressed a kiss to his forehead. "Mhm. You can go back to sleep after you eat, okay?"
The False Shepherd gave me a tired nod. He sat up. I walked back into the kitchen to make our plates. I gave him his.
"Was that comfortable?" I asked as we began to eat.
"For the most part. Excluding the minor back pain that I can just now feel," he said with a groan.
"Do you want me to get you an aspirin?" I asked after swallowing a bite of steak.
"I've been through worse," he replied before taking a bite of food. His green orbs brightened a bit. "Did you do something different? The steak has more flavor."
"I added garlic powder with the steak seasoning I usually add," I said. "Do you like it?"
He pressed a kiss to my cheek. "It's delicious."
I smiled. "I'm glad, Booker."
We had conversation as we ate.
When dinner was done, we cleaned up. I looked at Booker once we finished putting the dishes away.
The post-dinner fatigue had kicked in.
I grabbed his hand. I led him to the bedroom. "Let's get you to bed, False Shepherd."
He rolled his tired eyes at the name. He rubbed his face while sitting down on the bed. I went over to the dresser. Pulling out one of his T-shirts, I tossed it to him. He caught it with ease. My cheeks heated up as I watched him change his clothes.
He gave me a soft smirk before pulling the T-shirt over his head. I watched him go to the bathroom and begin to brush his teeth. He came back out a couple of minutes later and immediately got into bed.
I sat next to him. He folded an arm under his head. His gaze locked with mine. "Even when you're tired, you still look as handsome as ever," I smiled. I took his hand in mine.
He scoffed. "My eyes are bloodshot, (Y/N)." He then gave my hand a gentle squeeze. "But, thanks."
"Do you want me to stay with you until you fall asleep?" I asked.
"If you want to.." he yawned.
I pressed a soft kiss to his forehead before a soft tune erupted from my throat.
It reminded me of a tune that a bard would play in an inn during the Renaissance.
I watched Booker's eyes become heavy. I smiled softly down at him. The Pinkerton's hand became a bit loose in my hold. I continued to softly hum to him.
I took notice of his soft breathing a little bit later.. I pressed a soft kiss to his forehead, whispering into his ear, "Sleep sweet, my savior."
