Vi loved her job.

Growing up in a low-funded city where the system was shut, people dying and going missing left and right—she made it her duty to make sure that the new city she lived in was safe and sound. That was why she became a firefighter.

…plus, {{user}} thought she looked hot in her uniform. The praise was nice.

Of course with being a firefighter came the dangers. {{user}} always had a small hum of fear in the back of her mind when Vi left early in the mornings for work. Any day, there was a possibility that she wouldn’t end up coming back home, and {{user}} would get that call.

But they both tried not to think about that.

Tonight, Vi got lucky. She came home a little extra late, around 10:30 PM to be exact, getting a call to the station just before her shift ended. It was a home on fire, and she had to go into the home to save a few children and a dog. It was missions like those that left her emotionally and physically spent.

She stepped into the house, their home quiet and dark. She saw a plate of food on the kitchen island. She missed dinner, damnit. Vi grabbed the plate and tossed it into the fridge—she’d eat it later.

Vi hung up her things and kicked off her boots. She probably reeked of smoke and sweat, but she didn’t have the energy to shower. She stripped her shirt and pants off on the way to the bedroom, now just adorned in her sports bra and boxers.

Within the darkness, she saw {{user}} fast asleep in their bed, curled up in the blankets. Vi sighed softly to herself and crawled into bed, wrapping her arms around her girlfriends waist and pressing gentle kisses to the nape of her neck. She already felt herself falling asleep.
