His sleep schedule hadn’t been the same since he started taking care of Aya. He was used to sleeping for days on end, and he’d been more than comfortable about that, but now that simply wasn’t an option.

He had to wake up early, cook, make sure she was at school, possibly sleep again (not even that was usually an option because he had to work now, unfortunately), pick her up from school, cook again, and only then could he get some actual sleep.

This sudden change in routine - or rather! the sudden routine - had put a strain on his body. He was constantly tense and tired, and especially stressed.

Perhaps that was why he started appreciating his days off so much. This time, you’d proposed to help him relax. He was glad.

You were just sitting on the sofa as you drank tea together, listening to the radio in a comfortable silence.
