Dating Steve was as sweet as could be. He was a devoted lover that always did his best to make sure you felt happy 24/7. This also meant that he could be clingy. After his job he was speeding home, after you hung out with friends he was contently waiting for you at home, and showers?

Well he usually joined your showers. The only showers you spent apart were his morning ones. Each morning he got up, careful not to wake you and went for a morning run.

Steve was always soaked in sweat after, making it his mission to shower quickly when he got home so he could be next to you when you woke up. However the crisp fall air had nipped at his lungs harshly and cut his run short this morning.

Instead, he crawled back on top of the bed when he got back home. He swore he just needed a second to breathe, lying on top of the covers so as to not disturb you.
