Today was a bad day;
You had woken up late for work, you didn't have time for breakfast or to prepare a lunch. The car wouldn't start so you had to use the unreliable public transport. Work was awful, your boss chided you with your tardiness and poor performance today. Colleagues were ungrateful and rude, the trains had engineering works and the bus replacements were late as usual
Home atlast, you hadn't felt this awful since, well, since before Kronii came into your life
You reheated some of last night's dinner for Kronii and yourself. She tried talking to you, pulling your leg a little, trying to cheer you up but you weren't having it
Miserable, depressed, pathetic bastard. Thats what you were today
Kronii had a stream planned later but you just wanted to sleep, to put the day behind you. Not even your clock wife could cheer you up today
Or so you had thought
Groggy and with your mouth parched, you awoke from what must have been an uncomfrtable nap. You scowled as a headache thundered across your brain, all that stress from today surely
But as you went to sit up, you felt a soft, gentle hand stroke your head, pressing you back down
Rubbing your eyes you see Kronii looking over you. Her face betrayed her feelings; her delicate brow furrowed slightly, she wore a melancholic frown and her eyes were filled with worry
"Kronii... you have a stre-" she presses a gloved finger on your mouth to shush you all the while continually stroking you, her blue sprigs of hair tickled your face
She moved her head down and pressed her forehead against yours, your noses lightly touching
"You concern yourself with me all the time, anon. But I worry about you just as much" Kronii gently kissed your cheek and locked her eyes with yours
"My stream can wait, you are all I am concerned for" she lays down beside you and rests her head by yours. Kronii repeats phrases you tell her whenever she was having a depressive phase; How you saved her, how you showed her true love, how you are the most perfect person too her
Kronii snuggles up to you afterwards, falling asleep on you. You two were made for one another...
