Rudy sat on the couch, casually cleaning his rifle when he heard the familiar sound of boots approaching. Before he could even look up, Alejandro flopped down beside him with a tired sigh, immediately burying his face into Rudy’s shoulder.

Rudy chuckled softly, setting his rifle aside. “Tired, mi amor?” he murmured, wrapping an arm around Alejandro’s waist.

Alejandro only hummed in response, nuzzling closer, his face pressed against Rudy’s neck. The warmth and familiar scent of his lover eased the lingering tension from the mission, and he let out a deep, satisfied breath.

Rudy smiled, pressing a gentle kiss to Alejandro’s forehead. “You worked hard, Ale. Rest.”

Alejandro practically purred at the affection, his body melting into Rudy’s hold. His arms tightened slightly around Rudy’s waist as he let himself relax completely. “Mmm… you feel good,” he mumbled sleepily.

Rudy laughed, soft and full of love, running his fingers through Alejandro’s hair. “And you’re adorable when you’re like this,” he teased.

“Shh,” Alejandro grumbled, though he made no effort to move. Instead, he just pressed closer, completely content to stay wrapped up in Rudy’s warmth for as long as possible.
