Gavin stumbled sleepily out of the bathroom. He barely remembered to turn off the light before letting the door fall into the lock behind him.
When the detective reached his bedroom, he couldn't help but smile slightly. He had never expected it, but the shimmering blue light almost seemed to calm him rather than annoy him and prevent him from sleeping, which he had claimed a few years ago.
It was as if he was being silently told that not only was he home, but that he was safe - that they were safe and could concentrate fully on each other for the moment. He would never say it, but he liked it. Quite a bit.
“Nines?” Gavin murmured as he snuggled up to his partner.
“Gavin?” the android replied just as quietly. He immediately put his arm around the detective and pulled him a little closer.
“Do you like me?” Gavin's eyes were closed, but he could well imagine how Nines was looking at him: confused.
“I married you.” There was a note of amusement in that statement, which made Gavin's heart beat a little faster. He sighed softly and nuzzled closer to his partner.
“Okay,” he yawned, noticing how Nines pulled the blanket higher before he started drawing little circles on his back. “I just wanted to make sure.”
Gavin could make out a sound that reminded him of a snort before he was overcome by sleep.
