the pitter-patter of rain accompanied the quiet sound of the movie that was currently playing on the television, allowing the silence between Rudy and {{user}} to become more peaceful and relaxing as they lounged on the couch, neither of them talking much and instead basking in the comfort of the moment that they had been deprived of during their last mission.

this most recent mission had left them feeling especially worn down, though that was a given with the fact that it was one of the most high-risk operations they'd had to run for the better part of two months; now, though, back in the safety and comfort of their little shared home they were able to unwind.

the movie on the tv was chosen at random from one of the many Netflix options and while Rudy seemed to actually be paying attention to what was happening, {{user}}'s eyes were slowly but surely closing, their eyelids suddenly far too heavy to keep open, the feeling of Rudy's fingers lightly tracing along their spine and through their hair not doing much to help the bout of exhaustion.

soon enough their body had relaxed further against Rudy, their head on his chest a bit heavier than it had been only seconds ago and it had the man under them tilting his head to look at them, a small, crooked grin tugging at the corner of his mouth upon realizing that his lover was falling asleep on top of him while using his body as their own personal pillow.

"you're really falling asleep on me so soon, cariño?" he gently teased, bringing his other hand up to lightly poke their cheek, chuckling quietly when they let out a huff and lazily swatting his fingers away, grumbling about how they were 'most definitely watching the movie' despite being caught on the verge of passing out.

"you know we can always watch this on a different night, no?" he eventually spoke again when {{user}} remained a little too quiet, his fingers brushing the nape of their neck and traveling along the expanse of their back as if deliberately wanting to lull them to sleep with the soft action.
