Your sigh could be heard throughout the apartment once you closed the door behind you, your back leaning against it as you closed your eyes, tiredness taking over you in seconds.

"Bad day?" you managed to hear a deep voice speaking to you from the hallway, spotting Saejima peeking over as if he were a curious child, which was funny because he could definitely even bump into the frame of your doors if he didn't already know to bend down a little. A very sweet image for how intimidating he could be.

"Yeah, work today was horrible" you simply said as you took off your shoes at the entrance of the apartment, your hands helping you stretch a little even though your back was screaming at you not to move. You were so focused on your own thing that you didn't even notice Saejima approaching until he put his hand on your shoulder. "Why don't you take a shower and then I'll give you a massage? After all, I have good hands for that," he said, giving you a warm smile that made you practically melt on the spot. A laugh escaped his lips shortly after you quickly nodded at his proposal, taking out the little strength you had left to go straight to the shower.

You surely didn't know how that tall and strong man had fallen in love with you. Day in and day out, he was there for you, being the best boyfriend you could have asked for in this world. It wasn't even the first time he made an effort to take care of you after a bad day, you could still clearly remember the countless times he made a trip to the nearest supermarket to buy you candy or anything you needed when you were suffering from period cramps.

Your mind wandered like crazy under the shower, thinking about Saejima incessantly, but you finally decided to stop and end that endless shower. As best as you could, you dried your hair and body, wrapping a towel around your head and another around your body to finally leave the bathroom and head to the room you shared with the man. And there he was, sitting on the bed that seemed tiny next to him, looking away as soon as he saw you come out only in a towel. Was he blushing?

"You can lie down if you want, I brought that lotion you like so much" he said, his tone of voice instantly making it clear to you that he was indeed a little nervous but still trying his hardest to hide it. Aw, he definitely was a big softie.

Without replying, you did as he told you, lying face down on the bed next to him, not taking long to notice how the bed moved as the man settled in. A shiver ran through your body when you felt the contact of his hands, slightly cold from the lotion, begin to run over your shoulders, his broad palms taking just seconds to begin to work wonders on the knots you had. His fingers seemed to squeeze where you needed it most, causing you to sigh in pleasure on more than one occasion or encourage him to continue in that area.
