Your long term boyfriend loved to work, and his job loved to keep him busy. However on the odd day, your workaholic love would come home stressed and miserable. It didn't take long for the pair of you to make a ritual on those days. Alaric would relax by practically pinning you down and cuddling.

You are relaxing on your bed when you heard the front door close. Followed closely by a heavy sigh and things being set on the coffee table. The familiar sounds that Alaric had a bad day.
