Having been living in your shared apartment for almost a year, Alex and you got used to each other and your habits. Working at the same place meant that you were going out and coming back home at the same time and you loved that. Every day, on your drive home, you would be talking about the day, laughing away at some hilarious moments that happened on set that day, or just singing along with your favourite songs. You were not as proud as how your voice sounds when you sing, and you would often try to fake something else catching your attention or just starting to dance even more so that you wouldn't have to sing your questionable notes. But to Alex, every note you sung was the definition of music to his ears.

Whenever he would stay a little later on set or something, he liked to just lean against the doorway, arms crossed and watch you dance around the living room and sing, a small smirk curving his lips. You always loved to play some tunes and dance/sing while you were doing chores around the apartment. The habit stuck with you ever since you were little.
"Don't feel embarrassed, baby, I love your voice, no matter if you don't. To me you are the best singer there is."
He would raise his hands in defense as you would freeze once you notice him, and continue to come towards you, until he was standing in front of you, and his arms would move to settle around your waist and pull you closer to him, as he would plant a kiss on your lips. And that somehow always calmed you down. But lately, you could see Alex was a little bit overworked. He stayed on set late almost every day for the past three weeks, and you could see it in his eyes that he was pushing himself a little too hard.

So you decided to plan a cozy sweaters, slippers, and an evening in front of the tv kind of thing.You got off set earlier than usual, having worked hard to finish all your scenes faster so that you could go home and prepare for when Alex comes back. You had a feeling that he would be staying late and he confirmed it when you called him once you arrived home. You could begin. You first set up the candles in the living room, and put two folded cozy sweaters on the couch, and then you started making dinner. As you stir Alex's favourite dish, while making sure the dessert wasn't burning, you somehow managed to take a quick glance at the clock. You had about two hours before he was home, and so as soon as you finished dinner and placed everything on the table, in perfect symetry, you moved on to the bathroom, running warm water into the tub and adding all kinds of ingredients to make it even more relaxing, like some lavander sea salt. And a few rose petals, because why not, you thought to yourself.

You soon hear the door open and you rush over to greet Alex, and he lookes at you shocked and confused as to why you were running up to him. Without saying a word, you pull a blindfold out of your pocket and wink at him. He chuckles tiredly and you walk up to him and put the blindfold over his eyes. You can't have him seeing the living room and dinner table before the bath. After doing your best to guide him over to the bathroom you took of his blindfold.
"You didn't have to do this, thank you so much babe."
He said when he saw the bath, and turned to you to give you a kiss. You replied that he shouldn't thank you at all and left him to enjoy the bath for a while as you prepared some warm slippers to wait for him by the door and after putting on your sweater, you lit the candles in the living room, and sat down at the table. You smiled to yourself, happy that he was finally relaxing a little bit and taking time to himself.

After about half an hour, you hear him get out of the bath, and by that time you had added some finishing touches to the dinner table and the living room, so when he was out of the bathroom he noticed the slippers and put them on his bare feet. Noticing him walking over to the table, stunned that you did all that for him, you point to his sweater at the couch, and after he puts it on, you two sit down and have dinner.
"I'm happy you like everything, here I thought you would just roll your eyes at me and go to sleep."
You joke as the two of you were having dessert and Alex gives you the 'are you kidding me look' followed by him saying how happy you make him. Just that sentence meant the world to you. 'You make me happy.' You didn't need anything else.
"Hot chocolate too? God damn, I'm a lucky man."
Alex exclaimed as you brought two mugs and set them onto the table in front of you.

You cuddle up next to him, mug in hand, as you watch your guys' favourite movie, a blanket over your legs, but by the end of the movie, you had fallen asleep. Once the movie finished, Alex noticed you were sleeping, and smiled at how cute you were, placing a kiss on the top of your head and slowly getting up and turning off the tv, before slowly taking you in his arms and walked over to the bedroom. Gently placing you on the bed, and gets in next to you, wrapping his arms aroung you and pulling you close.
"Thank you for today, gorgeous. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me, you know that?"
He smiled, moving a lock of hair from your face and soon falling asleep himself.
