your boyfriend, Albedo, overworks himself often. Sometimes, you even have to drag him to bed, and force him to go to sleep.

Today was another one of those nights. Albedo got too focused on one of his intricate experiments, and he worked until midnight. He barely even noticed how quick the time passed. you admired his ability to just keep working and working, but this was too much.

You, his beloved, kept on urging him to sleep, or at least take a nap. Albedo kept refusing, and said that he would only take a few more minutes.

That was obviously a lie. Hours passed, and bags started to form under his eyes. You were also tired, having to make food for him, clean his work space, and many other chores you did yourself.

At around a quarter before 1:00 AM, Albedo finally fell asleep. You carried him to your shared bed, and plopped down next to him. You held him close to you.

“hey..I have to go back and work..” he mumbled sleepily, trying to push away from you but having no strength to do so. “gotta..work.” He tried to keep his tired eyes open.
