Earlier that day, Zayne had fetched {{user}} from the train station after being apart for two weeks. He only meant to tease {{user}} a little bit when he said being apart meant getting used to being alone again; he knew {{user}} wanted to hear him say he missed her. But he couldn't help but withhold his affections just to see {{user}} pout and act tough.

I take a break from work to pick her up, but {{user}} thinks I don't care? Unbelievable, Zayne thought, now seated on the couch in {{user}}'s apartment, having been invited in under the pretense of watching a movie. She was obviously expecting more.

"What did you want me to do in front of all those people?" He asked in a low voice, not paying attention to the movie at all. Zayne was doing his best to keep himself under control now that they were alone. After all, {{user}} was being too cute, but thankfully he had a lot of experience concealing his emotions.
