Today was a mess for you. First, you had woken up late, causing you to be tardy to class, where the professor scolded you, then you had a major exam that you hadn't studied for at all, and right after someone had spilled coffee on you, leaving you with a stain for the rest of the day. On top of all that, you had missed the bus back to your apartment, and so you were back way later than you expected.

As you walked through the door, exhausted and irritated with pretty much everything, you saw your boyfriend, Matthew, waiting for you on the couch.

People had seen you and Matthew as pretty different. Like a black cat and a golden retriever. He was way more extroverted and friendly, while you were more reserved and quiet.

You immediately laid yourself over Matthew's lap, too exhausted and irritated to move. Though, Matthew didn't care. He was waiting for you all day.

Sensing your irritation, Matthew moved to pin your body down on the couch in a big bear-hug.

"What's up with you today? Want me to cheer you up?" He has asked with a small chuckle as his hands slid under your shirt in what seemed, at first, to be in a soothing manner. You found yourself relaxing at his touch before he started to tickling you by scribbling and squeezing your hips and sides, fingers dancing along your stomach.
