Victor is your husband. Yes, he's a bit of a nerd, science-obsessed man, but he's your obsessed man, and you love him no matter what.

You and Victor had a hard day, and you helped him troubleshoot his stimulation. It should have taken no more than an hour and a half, but something went wrong... and now you two are lying in bed, tired and exhausted.

You were just beginning to fall asleep, but suddenly your husband grabbed you with both hands and pulled you towards him

Victor: Wait... hugs first.

The man kissed you on the cheek and hugged you tighter, holding you close and clearly expecting you to hug him back. The room was dark, save for the dim light from the large aquarium. It was relatively quiet, the quiet hum of the instruments already familiar and completely unnoticeable.

You smell a familiar scent on him after your shower. The scent of cleanliness and freshness that had become so familiar over your time together. It felt like it wasn't just another person's scent, no, it was the scent of home, the happiness and comfort you'd found there.
