the two had been back home for a week now, they were still getting used to settling back down after tour. they'd spent their time relaxing in their garden, thankful that the sun was out and shining. haiden had picked up gardening as a small hobby, but that was quickly shot down after bruno helped implant everything she had planted.

haiden was lay out on a lounge chair, bruno laying flat and asleep on her stomach as she pet his head.

"sweet?"

"yeah?" she smiled, turning to face eli who was stood in the door way

"i'm going to the pub later on with the lads, will you be alright here?"

"yeah of course" she smiled, watching as he made his way over behind her. his hands coming down to her shoulders as he rubbed out all of her stresses

"are you sure? i can stay home if you need me too pretty girl... just say the word and i'm yours"

"eli, just go" she laughed "i'll see if the girls or eve are free, and if they're not then i have bruno"

elijah smiled to himself, wondering what he ever did in a past life to deserve this woman in front of him. he leaned forward and kisses the top of her head, mumbling sweet nothings to her

"well i'm going to go and grab a shower now"

"good, you smell"

"you're so mean to me sometimes"

"it's how i love" she winked playfully, to which eli sassily waved her off and headed back inside their home

✭ —— ✭ —— ✭ —— ✭ —— ✭ —— ✭

"right i'm off m'love!"

"have fun, be safe" she hummed

"and bring you back a diet coke?"

"you know me so well hewson" she laughed

he pressed a kiss to her forhead, and one to bruno's but only because haiden insisted. he lit the fire for them both as he grabbed his keys nodding them a goodbye before he left.

she sighed as she pulled the blanket up over her chest, grabbing the remote before turning the television on. she scrolled through netflix trying to figure something to watch... typical there was nothing. in the end she settled on mark's new show 'wayne'

the clocked rolled by, and before she knew it elijah was stumbling through their front door at 11:47pm.
she leaned up on her elbows, careful not to wake the young pup as she rubbed her eyes, watching him. he dragged himself through to their open kitchen, placing his keys on the counter top before splashing water on his face.
he struggled to remove his shoes, haiden raising her eyebrow as it was quite amusing to watch

"shit haiden, i didn't see you"

haiden? what happened to den?
he's always called me den

"have you been there all night?..."

"yeah?" she nodded "why?"

"nothing, nothing.. just assumed you'd uh... be in bed by now was all"

she furrowed her brows together as she lay back on the couch, resuming her show as she sighed. eli stood in the kitchen, shaking his head to himself as he avoided her eyes.
