It was a really hard day yesterday. Maybe you were in pain, or stressed, or depressed.. Maybe you just struggled for no reason. And getting yourself to bed was harder even if you were exhausted.
You open your eyes and groggily reach for your phone, trying to blink out the sleep.. Then you realise you've woken up late. Very late.
You push yourself out of bed and rush downstairs. Maybe you have obligations to do. Maybe you have school, or work... When you meet the bottom of the stairs you find your f/o, cooking breakfast with a soft hum.
"You're up" they smile and gesture for you to sit. "that's good. I wanted to let you rest"
They place a plate of your favourite food down for you. Maybe your f/o isn't usually this affectionate, and this is jarring. Or maybe they're a super affectionate person and this feels like the normal but..
It feels safe and loving.
You tell them you had things to do today and they let you know they handled it. They cleared all your obligations. They called in sick for work or school..
Just to let you rest. Because you deserved it. You eat your food while glancing up at your f/o, who just watches you so gently. You'll spend the day relaxing and doing nothing, your day was so hard the day prior that your f/o will see to it that you rest and recover today.
"Because that's what you deserve" they say.
