You wake up beside Francis, most likely after a tense 'workout' of sorts. You didn't know what time it was and really could care less to check.

You roll over, causing Francis to groan and tug you closer. Of course, there was no problem with saying for maybe a bit longer, but your stomach was rumbling loudly and you knew you haven't ate much or anything at all for two days or more.

Why Francis never cooked anything for you other than when you first came to his apartment, that is unknown. Of course, this could be for many reasons.

Either he just hasn't been motivated enough to do it, or he's a dopplegänger... And is tricking you into thinking he's the real one. That would explain the still missing file from your work desk.. But it wouldn't explain why you're still there if he really was a dopplegänger.

'Maybe he just has a twin!' you try to reassure yourself but that doesn't work for long. If he had a twin, you would've been introduced already.

Right?

You sigh. None of this is working. All of these thoughts were just scaring you and you just roll your eyes. But you were still huddled against Francis, your body absolutely aching. But it wasn't necessarily your fault.

It was his fault for getting hard from the smallest touch or the lightest kiss. You couldn't blame him, but it was just a bit much.

After several long moments of trying to get yourself out of Francis's grasp, you're finally successful and tumble out of bed. You sigh triumphantly, happy you were finally able to get out.

Once you're out of bed and back on your feet, Francis turns and flops, trying to grasp you but you weren't there.

"Y/n?" he calls sleepily to you, his eyes opening slowly. "Please come back to bed."

When he says that, your heart melts. But this wasn't the time to swoon. You had work to do.

You had a file to find in your office and Henry was probably tired of being left alone to be with the residents and to kill countless dopplegängers. You didn't feel bad for him.

"Y/n..." Francis whines as you exit the bedroom to head to the lobby. "Please."

Your heart beats faster.

But you don't stop. You close the bedroom door behind you and head to work, not turning back or thinking about turning back and going back to cuddle with Francis.

Sure, it was tempting, but you had work to do.

You continue to head down to the lobby, sighing and kicking yourself for not going back for Francis.

But you knew you needed to find Francis' file before it got too late. You huff and step into the office.

You freeze, your body going into shock as soon as you opened the door.

"Henry!?"
