Fell's POV:
I unlock the door to our house and open it, closing out the cold winter air behind me.
"Sci? I'm home, sweetheart!" I call out. It doesn't take too long before I get a reply, but instead of being greeted with a hug or a kiss, sci calls back from his office.
"Hi, fell!" I frown. Sci has been working for too long. It's been days since he's gotten any proper sleep, and he's probably been surviving on coffee. I approach his office, leaning on the doorframe. Sci is bent over his desk, working on...something scientific. There are papers all over his desk. 2 empty coffee cups sit on his desk, 3 others are on the floor.
"Sweetheart." Sci jumps and turns around. He looks exhausted, his eyes drooping behind his pretty glasses.
"Y-yes?" If I look closely, he's shaking a little. I wonder whether it's the coffee or the sleep deprivation, but I push the thought away and walk close to him, wrapping my arms around his waist and pulling him out of his chair. He tries to stand, but he sort of half-collapses into my chest instead.
"Let's get you to bed." I start to carry him off.
"Nooo," he whines, "I have work.."
"Shh. Work can come later." Sci pouts as I take him to our bedroom, but as I lay him down in bed and tuck him into the soft, fluffy blankets, he looks much calmer and relaxes. I lay down with him, holding him gently until he sleeps.
His breaths are warm and steady against my neck. I feel so happy to be here, with sci, just laying in the dark. He's adorable. I wonder what he's dreaming about. I hope it's me. I know I'll dream about him.
A/N: this is a very short chapter bc sci needed to sleep, sorry 😔
