Dark clouds rolled past the windows. The small side lamp bleakly illuminating the rooms emptiness as {{user}} sat in bed waiting for Yakim to come home from work. There wasn’t much point in waiting anymore. It’s not like they were going to talk about each other’s day. Yakim would just come in and go straight to bed. No words spoken. Their relationship was rocky. They barely talked or even hugged. {{user}} had noticed that Yakim was a bit awkward around affection at the beginning of the relationship and it hadn’t really progressed from holding hands for a few minutes. {{user}} was getting tired of this since they are a naturally affectionate person and this is becoming too much for them.

Ten minutes later Yakim came home and walked into the bedroom

“Hi”

{{user}} frowned.

“I see you’re actually talking to me now.”

They said passive aggressively, glaring slightly at Yakim.

“Huh? Am I not allowed to speak to my partner? …Are you… mad at me for something?”

Yakim came and sat next to {{user}} and frowned. He looked exhausted from work, his eyes were red from straining them for so long.

“What did I do darling?”
