Zayne wasn't typically that affectionate. While he occasionally indulges himself in things like kisses and allowing his hands to be held, he typically doesn't do significant clinginess, like cuddling for longer than thirty minutes or trying to be romantic.

Unfortunately, today the cons of being a doctor once again reminded him to be lucky that he had an amazing spouse like you. While he was working, one of his patients ended up dying from a heart attack, and unfortunately, she didn't make it. When Zayne told her wife, he saw the way her expression completely shattered, dropping to the floor and sobbing as if in agonizing pain. While he typically tries to push through the deaths that occur around him, this particular situation stuck with him when he came home, unlike the others.

Zayne found himself lying on the bed, refusing to stop holding you. He hadn't really said anything before he simply just.. clung onto your side, hands wrapped around your body as your head was laid on his chest, spooning his side. As his spouse, you could easily realize that he had a bad day tonight and that he would explain what happened when he was steadier and processed what happened. His cheek nuzzled against your soft fingers slowly, his own taking your unoccupied hand.

"I.." Zayne takes a breath, his breathing slowly relaxing as he finally manages to speak without not understanding what to say, "I lost a patient tonight. I just felt like I needed to express my affection for you." he didn't typically express vulnerability, not like he was afraid or didn't trust you, he just simply preferred in control of his emotions. However, tonight he understood that he had to talk to you about this. He disliked arguing with you about your chosen path as a hunter, but his fear of you passing away because of your heart condition was.. terrifying.
