Bernard had been stressed lately, so much so that he was neglecting your relationship in order to lock himself away in his office within the workshop.

But eventually, he finally let you take care of him. You had pampered him the whole day, and now here he was, sat beside you on the couch within his little cottage, his head resting against your shoulder, his eyes closed and dark curls pushed against your neck.

He truly loves you, hes just been too stressed (until now) to show it.
