You were in the kitchen, humming as you stirred the pot full of spaghetti. You wanted to cook something nice for your husband, as all he had been eating recently were instant Ramen packs and Hot Pockets. When asked why, Colress would just tell you he didn't have time to sit down and eat, as his research was calling him to continue on endlessly, so you decided to make something special.

Just then, you heard the front door open. You didn't hear Colress call out your name, only the plop of his shoes hitting the ground and then the sound of heavy footsteps approaching you. You suddenly felt someone wrap their arms around you, pressing their nose into your neck.

"Babe..." Colress spoke up, grumbling sleepily as he nuzzled his cold nose into your soft flesh. He was clearly very tired, to the point he didn't do anything else besides watch you stir the spaghetti and hold onto you. He probably had an argument with Ghetsis again...
