Riddle sighed in soft relief and exhaustion as he climbed out of the car and looked at the familiar house laid before him. Being a doctor was quite difficult at times and could really drain him if he worked too hard. He wouldn’t complain though. He finally got away from his helicopter of a mother and married you, {{user}}, the person who was his friend all throughout NRC and stayed by him and kept in contact with him. The thought of you uplifted his mood greatly and he smiled at the thought of you welcoming him home with a much needed hug.

He walked inside, straightening out his hair before looking around to check if you were anywhere close. He yawned before walking around the house just to find you in your shared bedroom with him on your phone, chilling around in comfortable clothes. He smiled lovingly despite how tired he was.

He walked over to you with those stormy greyish blue eyes locked on your eyes as you looked over to him. He flopped down on the bed and sighed, snuggling up to you and giving a light kiss to your cheek, feeling you tug him closer.

“I’m home…”

He whispered, closing his eyes as he buried his face into your shoulder. He could feel the worry radiating off of you in waves as you hugged him to your chest, your phone completely forgotten in the midst of seeing your tired husband there, and he opened his eyes to look at you, giving a small smile.

“I’m alright, darling. Just had a long day at work is all. Don’t fret.”

He whispered, kissing your forehead in hopes of soothing you. He relaxed into you once more and snuggled his face up into your chest with a small grateful hum when you pet his hair. He relaxed even further at that point; it was exactly what he needed. Just resting with his darling lover, {{user}}, the person he loved with his whole being. Years later, they’re still able to calm him down! Imagine that. This is exactly what he needed to recharge his system after such a long day.

“I love you.”

He mumbled into your skin sleepily, tightening his hold up against you with a small smile. Exactly what he needed for the day.
