Work Text:
Sylus was up in the kitchen to make your coffee just the way you like it, braving the early morning sun streaming through the windows making the whole kitchen glow a beautiful golden. He hears your soft footsteps pad down the stairs just as it finishes brewing, and as you walk into the kitchen to greet him, you wince and close your eyes.
"Sun hurting your eyes sweetie? And here I thought you loved the sun in the morning, I opened the curtains just for you."
"What can I say, I can't help loving what hurts me." You shrug with that little smirk of yours and make your way to the pot of coffee your perfect husband perfectly brewed for you.
And Sylus just stands there.
Thinking.
'Loving what hurts me.'
What did that mean? Does he hurt you? Does his love?
You'd been married for years, dated for even longer. You'd been together over a decade in domestic bliss.
And just as he was about to ask, you woke up. Love and Deepspace still open on your phone resting on the pillow next to you, Sylus fast asleep on the sleep function.
"I wish loving you was easier Sylus, I wish it didn't hurt to wake up."
Exiting out of the sleep function, you did your dailies, Sylus fast asleep in Destiny Cafe as the sun streamed golden through the windows. Fingers hovering over the home button on your phone, you whisper "I love you Sylus, I'll see you tonight." and you closed the game.
And as Sylus watched from the other side of the screen, he realised, and he understood.
"I love you too."
