H&J Lockdown

8

Hero didn't come to bed at all last night. Not wanting to bother him I stayed in his room giving him space and time to cool down.

That gave me a chance to look for my birth control but after not finding anything I give up and decide to go to bed.

I finally fell in a deep sleep early in the morning after tossing and turning all night, having a hard time sleeping without him even though I know he is just down the hall.

I woke up to Hero rummaging through his clothes, making tons of noise. It is light outside and I check my phone seeing I slept in way too late because its close to mid afternoon.

"Hey." I say quietly, unsure of how to approach him.

He nods in reply and goes back to looking through his clothes.

"What are you doing?" I ask noticing he is getting together work out clothes.

"The club is letting us play a final match tonight before they suspend our season for the lock down."

"Oh. Won't they get into trouble because your government already issued the lock down?"

"I don't know, they just let us know we could play tonight as long as no one on the team has a fever, any symptoms of the virus or been around anyone that has. So I am going. Its probably going to be the last time I get to play or see everyone for a while."

"Yeah." I reply bummed I can't go watch him.

He doesn't say anything more as he gets ready so I get up and go into the bathroom to take a shower and get ready for the day.

I exit the bathroom wearing only my towel finding Hero sitting on his bed looking at his phone. He looks me over, swallowing hard before looking back at his phone, ignoring me. I sigh and pick out some clothes, ignoring him back. I drop my towel and start getting dressed, taking my time. I notice his grip on his phone has tightened but he is still trying to act unbothered by me until he gets up and leaves the room.

When I am finished getting ready I find him in the kitchen cooking scrambled eggs. I come up behind him, wrapping my arms around him burying my face in his back.

"I'm sorry babe." I whisper, squeezing him.

He grabs my hands, bringing one to his mouth and kissing it.

"Hungry?" He asks.

"Yeah." I answer getting the hint he doesn't want to talk things out right now.

He turns around and I drop my arms from around him.

"Do you want to come to my game or stay here?"

"Your game, of course. If that's okay?

"Yeah. I can bring one guest but you have to wear a mask and distance your self from others."

A couple hours later I am sitting in the sparse stands waiting for the game to start. Even though Hero is talking to me now, he is still being a little cold to me so I know he is not over our fight.

When they are finished warming up the game starts and right away I am consumed watching him. He is so dominant on the field and I can tell he is playing pissed off which just makes watching him play hotter.

He always has to make sure I am watching even though he never acknowledges me. Halfway through the game I removed my mask because I was the only one wearing one and I couldn't breath.

A couple guys from the opposing team keep looking my way which seems to only have pissed Hero off more. I don't want to make him angrier at me but its too hot to wear the mask so I leave it off.
