Getting married to a professor was.. rough. Dr Ratio was a busy man, but he always, always made time for you. He loved you possibly more than he loved himself. And sure, he found you stupid sometimes, but your stupidity was endearing, and he loved you so, so much for it.

So it just breaks his heart whenever you're upset.

You were shaking in his arms, crying as you tried to get your thoughts out into words, unsuccessfully. Dr Ratio sighed and gently turned your head towards him. "My love, please." He took your trembling hand and carefully kissed each of your knuckles, each covered with so much love and affection. He looks back up at you and cups your face; the pads of his thumbs were gently wiping away your tears.

"Take your time. Stop trying to rush it. Just cry first, and then we'll talk. Okay?" Dr Ratio gently tucked your hair behind your ear, smiling lovingly and gently at you. "I love you, my sweet darling. Take all the time you need." He kissed your forehead gently to soothe you.
