Protag took the kettle off of its stand, the steam fogging up his glasses as he pours the water into his mug. He clicks the ‘tea timer’ button that he has queued up on his phone as the front door clicks open.
“Bye man! See you on Monday!” Coworkers voice echoed into the hallway, his signature work smile plastered on his face. As soon as the door closes he switches from work mode to home mode, his smile dropping into a long and loud sigh, his jacket and tie already off and tossed onto the couch.
“Woah,” Protag stares at the clothes, wrinkled and forgotten on the couch, “must’ve been a harder day for you then I thought,”
“What makes you say that?” Coworker says half-sarcastically half- ‘I am so done with Today’ -lly.
Protag moves his eyes to coworker, empathy shining in them as he puts out his arms toward him, coworker waisting no time as he swivels around the counter and TACKLES Protag with a hug.
Protag combs through coworkers hair softly, lovingly humming in his ear, “rough day, bluejay?”
“Mmhm…” coworker nuzzles his nose into the dip in protags neck, finally being able to indulge in those little neck kisses that makes his brain feel like putty, “how’s your head, love?”
“A lot better……thank you for making me stay home.” He mutters that last part, half expecting a snarky I told you so babe.
…but instead coworker sighs, sounding like a pair of bricks he’s been carrying all day were just lifted off his shoulders.
“…Have you been worried about that all day ?”
“Mmmmmmnng…” Coworker covers his face in protags shoulder, the heat radiating off of it being felt through his shirt. Protag holds him a bit tighter, the hand in his hair lingering a little bit longer.
“Wanna nap?” Protag whispers, placing a kiss into his hair.
“Mmmmmmmmmm-“ coworker picks his head up from protags shirt, placing his chin on his shoulder, “you just made tea though.”
Oh, yeah. Protag looks over to the side, the timer buzzing on his phone. How long had that been going off?
“Hmm.” Protag clicks the timer off, the gears turning in his head, before an idea pops into his head:
“You wanna back rub? You feel kinda tense.”He rubs his hand over one of his shoulder blades, he wasn’t lying.
Coworker sighs, this sigh full of warmth and affection, “oh my god yeah, that sounds amazing.” He practically melts into Protag, momentarily forgetting that they kinda have to move for that.
Protag chuckles into coworkers ear with so much love, “okay, lemme make you a cup of tea, and then we’ll do that.”
“With a lil’ honey?”
“Yes baby,” Protag smiles, “with a lil’ honey.”

Coworker slips a coaster onto the table, placing his mug onto it as he plops down on the floor in between protags legs, who was sitting on the couch right above him.
Protag places his hands on coworkers shoulders, his thumbs lightly pressing into his shoulder blades, “You ready?”
“Yesssssssss~” coworker wriggles around giddily, making Protag giggle, he loves it when he’s like this.
He starts pressing his thumbs into coworkers shoulder blades, rubbing deep circles into them. Coworker tenses, before sighing, leaning back into protags touch. He can practically feel his tension melting away with every little touch, physically and emotionally.
“Mmmmmm…what did i do to deserve you?”
“Get stuck in an elevator, apparently.”
Coworker chuckles, his brain slowly turning into putty as Protag places a kiss in his hair.
“You look really cute like this, dandi” Protag coos, the pressure on his thumbs not ceasing as he peppers kisses on the back of his neck, “getting stuck in that elevator was one of the best things that ever happened to me.”
“That’s a lie and you know it.”
“…ok well you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”
“Mmmmmmuch better~” he hums as Protag’s thumbs made his way up to the dip in his neck, drawing a noise out of him, “mmmmmng~”
Coworker cranes his neck back, wanting to see his lovers face, a little smile tugs at his lips when he sees the flush that crawled its way onto it.
“Enjoying yourself, love?”
“Shush.”
“Make me.”
Protag squints down at him, then plants a kiss smack dab on his lips, lingering for a few moments as coworker slipped a hand behind his head, Coworkers cheeky grin softens into a warm smile as Protag peppers a couple more lil kisses on there before parting completely.
“You’re such a doof.” Protag says through a smile, “I love you.”
“I love you too, love~”
