It's a winter thursday night, and you just came from work, tired of all the day and your boss being an insufferable bitch, as usual
these last months have been especially rough for some goddamn reason you can't really bother to understand, and as long as you keep your job, it's okay
you live in a small flat far from the center of the city with your beloved wife Kronii
as soon as you open the front door, a fragant smell floods the air
it's one of (your) favorite dishes, which you can tell it's been cooked with care and love and cosmically perfect timing
you walk down the short hall and just before you enter the kitchen, Kronii pops out
she's wearing a simple dark blue skirt and grey shirt, and a light blue apron, old as it could be and kind of messy
when you got married, she mockingly made you swear you would cook for her forever and even bought a cutesy apron for you
"anon!" she says in a confident voice "look what I did for you today!"
she shows you several plates of you and her favorite dishes, arranged carefully into the small table of the kitchen, together with a bottle of wine and a couple glasses
she hugs you and without letting you go, she kisses you a slow kiss, her tender lips touching yours, bruised by cold and long commuting hours in shitty non-heated buses
you're slightly taller than her but you normally don't notice as she almost always wears high shoes
not today, today you can tell she's tiptoeing but if you remind her, she will get freaky in bed and as beautiful she is, you're kind of tired today
you giggle to yourself and hug her back tighly, catching her unprepared and making her blush a little
"and why all this? Not like I don't like it, but I work tomorrow"
"oh, you don't" says Kronii with a small, sadistic smile, stretching her arms over your shoulders "I managed to move some threads and your boss should call you in.... three... two.... one...."
your cellphone rings suddenly, and effectively, it's that sonofabitch of your boss. He starts rambling about some failure down the company or whatever that will force them to shut down for the next three days or so. He doesn't elaborate much before he hangs up
"what did you....?" Kronii puts her finger on your lips and smiles
"nothing too bad, don't worry about it"
you two taste every bit of dinner before heading to bed and just cuddling watching a watchalong with EN4's aviation nerd girl and JP7's librarian girl
she falls asleep first, her head resting on your shoulder and trapping your arm, but you'd be a filthy londoner if you would ever think of complaining about it!
once you can tell she's fast asleep, you very slowly get comfortable and click all lights off for the night as the soft sound of rain against your window lullabies you both
a slight smile is painted on her face as you discretely kiss her on the forehead
