Madeleine comes home after a long day of fighting Golden Cheese Cookie’s radiance, allat of arrows stuck to his back as he entered his home with a big fat grunt
On entering, he caught sight of his partner with his legs crossed sitting on their love seat sipping a freshly brewed cup of cookie. Suddenly Madeleine found himself smiling, though it was short lived when a surge of pain met him through his spine, sulking over to the bathroom as he left his sword and shield in their signature place, arrows stuck to the shield. Espresso stopped his journey to the bathroom with a: “Why are there..” he paused to count the number of arrows embedded into the shield. “..17 arrows on your shields?” his love chuckled softly, Madeleine only grumbled in return.
“I’d rather not talk about it now, dear” the commander replied tiredly, “I’m..exhausted” Madeleine yawned in between the words.
“Alright” Espresso Cookie complied. Then gesturing for the idiot to come closer as he set his cup on the coffee table, Madeleine walked over to him and was suddenly pulled down by his husband. Madeleine felt the latter take his headpiece off and he immediately felt lighter, a content sigh coming out of his nose.
After the mage was done with carefully removing some hair that got stuck in the headpiece, he set it down on the coffee table with much care. Madeleine thanked him for the intention and laid a kiss on his lover’s lips, Espresso Cookie sighed back and started untying what was holding his cape in place. Only when the coffee mage maneuvered the long cape into his hands did they separate. And the light user admired how his beloved managed to take off his cape without peeking an eye open.
Madeleine had to leave the living room to wash off and later came back with only his poet shirt and brownish (idk) pants. Meeting Espresso Cookie in their shared bedroom where he was currently reading a book about who knows what. Before Madeleine Cookie would prepare to wrestle him into bed (that sounds wrong 🥺) Espresso cut off his thoughts. “I am sleeping tonight, Madeleine, no need for your forceful attempts today.” The blonde smiled, relaxing his stance and getting under the sheets with Espresso. He noticed that Espresso folded his clothes and placed them on a nearby stool. Earlier, before he got in the shower, he’d thrown his clothes all over the place, he was glad his dear had the patience to put up with the knight’s natural messiness.
Espresso Cookie turned to face him and swiped off a strand of hair from Madeleine’s face to kiss him properly, a simple peck, as to say ‘i love you, sleep well.’ Madeleine understands the meaning behind the kiss.
He nuzzles into the blankets and breathed out a quiet “I love you” before closing his eyes and yawning again, his breath becoming more relaxed as the minutes passed, the Magic Man smiled warmly at his husband, and turned off the light surrounding the environment as he put his glasses next to the nightstand and settled close to Madeleine’s chest, falling asleep to the rhythmic heartbeats.
Later he would hear Madeleine’s complains about their player treating them as slaves and making them suffer btw
