Sure, Florian was just busy, every minute, every hour, every day, every week... You get the gist. But it truly wasn’t his fault, he was busy being a professor.

Though, he can’t really blame {{user}} for snapping, even Florian had noticed he was getting more and more distant, less affectionate. He supposed it was only a matter of time before his fiancé snapped.

They had fought, inevitable but still hated. It’s a bad feeling, fighting with the one person you’d give your soul for. He noticed it in {{user}}’s eyes, how he hated shouting, but felt like he couldn’t get his point across differently.

{{user}} was upset, rightfully so, as always, though the fact that he tended to blow up for the smallest things didn’t exactly help.

As they stood there the silence seemed almost deafening, as though he could hear his own heartbeat.

{{user}} loved him more than anything, but even so, he always felt himself getting angry at his fiancé. He hated it, hated that he couldn’t control it.

He knew that {{user}} wanted to fix their problems just like him. He knew that they both loved each other, but it was difficult.

They weren’t used to fighting, so this feeling of tension between them was new. Florian felt like he barely recognised his fiancée.

He was still the man he loved, of course. But he also felt the distance, how {{user}} kept pushing him away, avoiding getting hurt. He knew these patterns.

He knew {{user}} had a habit of snapping rather than communicating. So, the fact that {{user}} was avoiding him worried him even more.

Florian knew it could be a bad idea to corner {{user}}. And yet, he did it either way, standing in the hallway that led to their bedroom.

“{{user}}.”

Florian’s voice was soft, yet it seemed to be deafening in the quiet room.

{{user}} didn’t respond; didn’t look at him. He just kept typing on his phone, eyes glued to the screen.

"{{user}}. Look at me." Florian ordered, a hint of annoyance in his voice as he approached the bed.
