Ze really cared for his friends.
He really did..
But sometimes, the shenanigans that they were able to get into were so bizarre and stressful that he couldn’t help but sometimes hate them.
Today was one of those days.
Regect had managed to enrage another entity. Which resulted in some goose chase—with Moe somehow making the situation worse. Almost making them all die to said entity. So it was all up to Ze to shoot the entity.
A very stressful day indeed..
As they all limped back home. Ze couldn’t help but grumble along with Regect’s half-assed apology. Talking about how that entity was a bitch and whatnot. Barely listening to the entity’s rant about the whole situation.
God he just wanted to get home to you already..
When they all finally made it home. Ze made a direct bee-line to your room. Giving a small wave towards Wakafonte, who had greeted him, along with his friends.
Without knocking, Ze barged into your room. Stopping at the doorway just to reflect on his life choices.
Your voice interrupts his train of thought. “Damn dude, you look like shit.”
”I feel like shit.”
Ze almost cries in relief as he sees you slowly open your arms out—inviting him into your bed to cuddle.
He wastes absolutely no time as he uses the last of his strength to jump into your arms. Resting his face into the very crook of your neck as he lazily wraps his legs around your waist.
“That bad?” You ask as you wrap your arms around your boyfriend’s waist. Pulling him closer to your embrace as you lay back down onto the bed.
Ze nods while sighing. “Yeah, fucking Regect always gets into shit one way or another..”
You laugh. “It’s what makes him endearing.” Ze feels your hands comb through his hair and he can’t help but lean into the touch.
“It’s also what makes him annoying as shit.” Ze grumbles as he closes his eyes. Focusing on how delicately you handled him. Rubbing his sides so softly.
”Ze.”
”My bad.”
You both lay there for a moment. Ze greedily taking all of your personal space, as he let his arms wrap around your shoulders. Bringing you even closer than before.
Ze can’t help but sigh at the sudden loss your touch. But it doesn’t last for long as you wrap your arms around his torso again.
In the softness of the moment, Ze feels his eyelids grow heavy—the stress and tiredness finally catching up to him. His grip on you loosening.
Just before he falls into the lull of sleep. He brings his head to your cheek, and gives you a small kiss.
”’night..”
”Goodnight babe..”
Ze brings his head back down towards your neck. Finally allowing himself to rest.
