Today was a long fucking day.

I didn’t know that I could tell hundreds of cadets to shut the hell up more than a hundred times, but I think I pushed those boundaries today. I mean, who knew that training three hundred, rowdy, barely mature demons would be a bad idea?

Literally everyone, Killian, would be that answer, because my wife warned me, the king warned me, my fellow soldiers warned me, yet I took the job anyways, because, hey, life was getting too easy recently.

My back hurts, my legs hurt, my feet hurt, and all I want to do is hide from the world, in {{user}}’s bed that was made of clouds, sheets of silk and the most important part, her sleeping beside me.

And I was so close to that too. It’s my fault, really, I should never dropped by my office, because all I found was stacks of paperwork that needed to be filled. Holy—fucking—shit.

I push open my bedroom door, to find {{user}} already in pyjamas, stirring a cup of what it looked like to be black tea. I sigh at the sight of it, “You,” I say, wrapping my arms around her waist, burying my head into the crook of her neck, “just made my day.”

I feel her wings shift under the weight of my chest, getting comfortable, and I notice how my own are drooping. A terrible habit, most of my commanders growing up told me, but I’m too tired to care about how messy I must look.

{{user}} turns in my arms, and I remove my face from her skin, watching as she hands me a cup. I take it, but place it back on the counter. I stay silent, even when she questions me. I stay silent as I pick her up, leading her through our quarters, and I stay silent as I place her down on our bed.

I crawl onto the bed after her, resting my body in between her legs, my pillow is her chest. I stay still for a while, breathing her in, tracing shapes against the skin of her arm. “It was a long day, my love, I do not know how I can do that again.”
