Today was going awful he had three bad runs in a row and his wings felt like shit. Couri tiredly made his way over to the main portal and went back to HBG. After the initial nausea of transporting through different dimensions finally wore off Couri walked over to his and Fein's shared house and threw himself into the couch.
He hadn't even realised he was holding back tears until they started spilling, wetting his folded arms as well as the pillow he was laying on. Now, he probably could message Fein and ask him to come home but then he'd feel like a burden, but at the same time he wanted to hold Fein close and just sob in his arms.
Couri didn't even notice he fell asleep until he felt a soft tap on his shoulder. He really didn't wanna get up but he saw the familiar white, pink and blue jacket and decided to get up. "Hey baby. How long have you been home?" Fein asked, his voice soft as he cupped Couri's cheeks.
Couri just looked at him dumbfounded, how long has it been since he passed out on the couch? "I.. I don't know." Couri admitted and Fein just chuckled as he brushed a strand of hair from Couri's face. "Come on, how about you tell me about your day?" Fein asked as he helped Couri out of the couch and his legs felt somewhat like jelly but not exactly.
But they had a tingly feeling to them seeing as he was curled up on himself. "I.. I don't know today's just been.. I don't even know how to start." Couri said, blindly following Fein to their bedroom. "Alright, you look like you were crying. Why?" Fein asked ( when did they get into the bed? ) "Just some terrible runs today.." Couri said, not wanting to have to remember the day fully.
Well, he didn't even remember why he had been sad in the first place, weird but oh well. "Wanna talk about them or?" Fein asked, trailing off as his hands made their way into Couri's feathers, carefully cleaning them and straightening loose feathers. "No.. Just some bad seeds and I kept dying." Couri said as he yawned, leaning back onto Fein warning a chuckle from him.
Couri didn't even notice how heavy his eyes had gotten until he started struggling to keep them open. "Thanks." Couri said, letting his eyes shut as Fein continued to clean his wings. "For what? Doing the bare minimum?" Fein joked as Couri laughed. "No.. For taking my mind off today." Couri said tiredly and Fein hummed quietly.
When Couri blinked his eyes open again it was dark outside and the person he cared about the most was right at his side. He let himself fall asleep again, his mind clear.
