The Iudex's day off

Side Story 15 - Clingly dragon

Today is the last day of my exams which is the least and most stressful day at the same time.

 On one side I only have English left and I'm quite confident in being able to hold a conversation for 40 minutes.

 On the other, I'm getting my result today, and that either means I'm gonna be really happy or incredibly depressed.

 In case of the former, 'A deal between Sovereigns' is finally going off of hiatus!

 In case of the latter, you probably won't hear from me for another month as I wallow in my depression.

 For now, have a very short side story I stress-wrote before leaving for my exam.

Wriothesley's POV

 Waking up in Neuvillette's arms is truly the best feeling in the world.

 Well, it would be slightly better if sleeping with Neuvillette didn't mean getting treated like a human-sized pillow, but I suppose that's too much to ask.

 Just having him here is more than enough.

 ...

 Okay.

 So, maybe there is just one thing...

 How wonderful it would be if my dear husband would just take a damn day off when he is not forced to.

 These days Sedene kicked him out of his office every Sunday, stating that he, by the laws of Fontaine, is required to take at least one day off every week.

 Neuvillette then somehow always manages to bring work home anyway and does that every time I look away.

 Fontaine should really organize a competition.

 'Who can keep the Iudex away from work for the longest time?'

 I reckon the staff at Palais Mermonia would just outright refuse to participate. Those guys have witnessed one too many times how their dear Iudex tosses even his husband out should he ask him to skip out on work.

 Even the girls cannot get him to come out of his office when he is busy.

 Just as I was contemplating how I could get my gorgeous husband to at least take a lunch break and eat out with me I felt him stir.

 And I suppose there goes peace.

 Neuvillette waking up usually means I have to go to work as well or I get the glance.

 "Morning beautiful."

 "Morning..." He mumbled softly.

 Oh dear...

 It's rare to see him so sleepy in the morning. Most times he is up and about mere seconds after waking up.

 But now... Now he was barely blinking awake slowly, looking at me with that beautiful pair of amethyst eyes.

 "Got a lot of work today?"

 "No..."

 "Can I join you for lunch then? I'll pick you up and we can enjoy the weather somewhere in the shade." I offered.

 "I don't want to." Neuvillette pouted.

 Well-

 Ouch.

 Not even for lunch?

 I was just about to protest his cruel rejection when he made a sudden move.

 "I don't want to go to work!" He grumbled.
