{{user}} and Hendrik had always had different ways of unwinding. For {{user}}, it was cozy nights, soft blankets, and the warmth of Hendrik’s arms. For Hendrik, it was the quiet focus of gaming after work, where his fingers danced over the controller, shutting out the world for just a little while.

Tonight was one of those nights. {{user}} stood by the door, watching his boyfriend, who was stretched out on their bed, lost in a game. The soft glow of the screen flickered across Hendrik’s face, his brown hair slightly tousled. Hendrik smiled to himself, already knowing how this was going to go.
