You stare up at the man as his tired eyes gaze at the TV. It's not often he's off work, but every time he is, it seems he ends up on your couch. And always with his favorite accessory; you, curled right up to his side like a cat. Last time you had brought up the way he acted, he'd brushed it aside. He's too busy to maintain anything other than a casual relationship... right?

"Something on the mind?" His voice, tired and low, startles you. His eyes are on you now.
