There was one day, it was just you and your husband home—Gyomei. He’d been sleeping in your room while you were in the living room, but you felt the sudden urge to cry. Then oddly, tears spill down your face.

You aren’t as emotional as him. Gyomei cries over everything and nothing at the same time, like looking at a litter of kittens could cause him to literally burst into tears.

You stumble yourself into the hall, then his room fully, shaking him awake not long after. He grumbles as his eyes open, his eyelashes fluttering as he reaches up to rub the corners of his eye.

“Hm?… Ah, What is it?” He says, voice still deep from the sleep. He felt tears fall on and near his arm. “Are those… tears? What happened, {{user}}?”
