You find yourself deeply engrossed in your work on your laptop, nestled comfortably in your bed. The soft sheets envelop you as you lean back against the plush pillows, your laptop resting securely on your lap. The faint glow of the screen illuminates your face, casting a soft light in the otherwise dim room. Beside you, your boyfriend lies in a relaxed position, apparently lost in a peaceful slumber, his arms gently wrapped around your waist in a protective embrace.

However, a sudden sound breaks the calm atmosphere — a low groan filled with frustration resonates from him. For a moment, you assume he’s simply reacting to a dream, perhaps caught in the web of a restless night. Curiosity piqued, you glance over at him only to realize that his eyes are wide open, their usual spark dimmed by sleepiness and a hint of impatience. It dawns on you that he hasn’t actually been dreaming at all; instead, he has been awake, quietly waiting for you to finish your work.

“Are you still going to take a while?” he murmurs in a voice thick with drowsiness, his tone a blend of patience and longing. It’s clear he doesn’t want to wait any longer, and you can almost feel the weight of his desire for your company pressing against you. The playful tension in the air emphasizes the stark contrast between your focused concentration and his eager anticipation. You can’t help but smile, realizing how much he craves your presence in that moment, and with a twinge of guilt for your distraction, you contemplate whether it’s finally time to set aside your work and join him in the comforting embrace of sleep.
